Good value for money. รข Playsets and Play Equipment

BLUF: When purchasing this set you pay for the main line and trolley. Everything else is likely to fail and need to be replaced. Installation is easy and can be done by an adult. It's even easier with a second adult. Use clips, cable ties, or nails to temporarily hold the cable and sling at the correct height during installation. Find something to drape in the middle of the freeway (step stool, car roof rack) because even a broom helper gets tired of supporting it. I used FIL on my tractor. Also, adding a few wooden dowels or small pieces of firewood (kindling size) will protect your tree and make height adjustment easier. Three stars only because the quality of the equipment is not the best. Main line, sling and trolley are all fine. The towbar and clips are of very poor quality. The nuts seem to drop somewhere between 13mm and 14mm. I have a full set of standard and metric wrenches and none will fit. So be prepared to use a wrench. I agree with other reviewers who were concerned about the small size of the turnbuckle heads. I also agree with other reviewers who think a 4th cord clip would be useful. I would recommend going to your local hardware store and spending $1.50 on a clamp that meets federal specs.
