SLOPE
1)
Tie a string between the two trees that you will set the zip line up
on. Make sure that the string is level by using a leveler.
2)
Measure the high end (starting point) from the ground to the
bottom of the string.
3)
Measure the low end (stopping point) from the ground to the
bottom of the string.
4)
The difference is your slope. ***Note that the higher ground tree
will be your high end (starting point).
5)
Subtract this slope from the high point determined by following
the table in the installation manual and keep the low point the same.
Ex.
You determine what heights to install your zip line by following
the table in the installation manual and find out that you need to
anchor the high point at 150 inches and the low point at 102 inches.
Next you will determine the slope by following the above directions.
You find out that you have a slope of 3 feet or 36 inches. Next, you
subtract 150 inches (high point) by 36 inches (slope) to come away
with your new high point anchor: 144 inches or 9½ feet. You will keep
your low point at 102 inches or 8½ feet. The slope in your yard will
make up the 3 feet that you subtracted from the high point and give
you the same ride as if you had level ground.
