The return zip line is 430 feet long and the riders skim just a few feet above the water. Once you come to a stop, you unhook and hop off the seat.

  • @OutdoorsIsFun If you have enough sag in the line, it might be, but I would never recommend 1/4". 3/8" is generally the minimum a reputable zip line installer would use commercially, and 1/2" will provide a smoother ride, although it's more expensive. Your question is best answered with more questions about the engineering of your zipline, but I'm not going to continue this conversation on a public forum...

  • @treehousebuilder im planning to use 1/4 for mine, so I think ill be ok. 1/4 will be strong enough right? ours is going to be 410 ft.

  • @OutdoorsIsFun I think that one was 3/8", based on the way it moved during the video, but if not, it was 1/2".

  • @treehousebuilder haha thats not a good sign for me because all I have is a comealong. What size cable did guys use?

  • @OutdoorsIsFun We used a combination of hand pulling, Winch on ATV, cable puller/come along, and a boat! It wasn't easy!

  • how did u guys get the cable tight?
