Three years after building our first zipline at The Sandy Ranch in the Texas Hill Country, we're building a new one! The entire kit came from ziplinegear.com, and you can read all the details at www.briangreenstone.com/zipline

hey, i am looking to build a zip line but i need some advice. how high are each of the connection points above the same horizontal line and exactly how much cable did you use? I know its a 205' run, but the amount of cable will be more than that due to slack, right? and don't be offended, but can i ask how old you are? my father is a little apprehensive about it but i hope this video will help calm his fears. I am only 16

just as a note, the top caribiner hole should at least have a steel caribiner so if the cable trolly fails, it has a back-up

I think that the tighter the cable is the faster your end speed is, but a loose cable will make you go pretty fast and you will slow down when you passed the middle, the cable will have a V shape when your in the middle..?

@blgreenstone I see. So More tension means more speed correct?

Dont you want the cable very tight?
MichaelJackson1428 9 months ago
@MichaelJackson1428 Yes, as was noted at the end of the video there was a lot of slack in the line that we needed to tighten up, but we had too much slope on the line so we had to leave slack to keep things from getting too fast. We later re-graded the whole thing and then tensioned it way up. Now it's perfect.
