Review on Revolutionize Your Backyard with RollSpace Tensioning Detachable Stainless Backyards by David Herrera

This kit includes everything you need to install your first or additional backyard zip line. This is our first zip line and we had no idea how it would work, especially with the way the trees were arranged in our yard. We found and selected two trees that were just over 120 meters apart, leaving us with a lot of stainless steel cable after installation. We installed the beginning of the rope over 16 feet up on a larger diameter tree. HOLD the SPRING BRAKE by the long wire first. I made the mistake of wrapping the wire around my starter tree and found that the spring brake only works with the non-loop end. I jigged the cable and tightened the first u-bolt and figured out how the heck am I going to apply that brake? Don't make the same mistake and learn from my setup. Another lesson I learned was to wrap the liner with Velcro and have a tie on the back away from the open end of the cable so the cable doesn't unwrap the liner when installed. Line and U Bolt. Speaking of U-Bolts, the included wrench is perfect for tightening and applying torque to them while you're on the stairs. As for the second tree and the end of the cable car, this is where I learn how the rollspace ratchet method is a game changer. The ratchet wrapped around the second tree and took a long, wide strap with a thick metal cable, which was unscrewed and pulled very tight to attach the long cable's eyelet. My kids called me Doc Brown from Back to the Future when he was trying to connect the cables from the clock tower to the street pole stage. But once the flat, wide nylon was in the slot, I could start twisting and accepting the tension. After a few attempts to sag the suspension a bit, I cranked a few more times to free the cable, then added a second stainless steel cable for extra security. Third and final lesson: Pre-attach the redundant cable to the red post before adding and pulling the long cable. It's almost impossible to unscrew that red turnbuckle bolt once it's engaged. I did a first test with my 199 pounds while the family was recording a future episode of AFV America's funniest video or an Afleck Duck insurance promotional scene on their smartphones. I went for the spooky thrill method of climbing the ladder up the first tree and then hooking onto the cart with the included blue strap. With sweaty palms on an early spring afternoon and temperatures up to 50 degrees, I couldn't get a round disc under my butt and between my legs when standing on the stairs, so I dangled them. I pulled the carriage until it touched the turnbuckles. Then he put on a theatrical performance by a movie stuntman, grabbed two bicycle handles from a trolley and jumped! I was successful with a scissor leg move to climb up the blue disc and within seconds I was crossing the line and the brake spring rebounded. We used a 6 foot aluminum ladder that was tethered so I could climb to the end of the slack cable and then unbuckle myself. article outside. We remove everything and put it back in the garage. This summer we look forward to thrilling rides at Backyard Thrill Park.
