CTSC Zipline for Kids and Adult, Zip line Kits for Backyard with Stainless Steel Spring Brake, Cable Tensioning Kit, Safety Harness, 2 Tree Protectors and Full Set of Zip line Accessories

The zip line hardware is of excellent quality, thick and sturdy steel. The trolley itself is heavy and solid with nice, high quality seeming rubber grips, and the trolley doesn't flip over even if there is no seat attached. The customer service is as good as promised - I sent them an email and they emailed me back by the next morning. It was "relatively" easy to put up. The assembly is straight forward enough. The hard part is getting the slack out of the cable, which weighs a ton. I did it by myself once, but it was quite a bit of work, loosening one U-bolt, pulling as much cable as I could, re-tightening the U-bolt, maneuvering a ladder around under the middle of the cable to lift it up, etc., to get it as tight as possible by hand, and then tightening down the top turn-buckle nearly all the way. The second time I did it (we moved from one set of trees to another), I borrowed a ratcheting tool specifically designed to pull up the slack from a friend who also has a zip line. That made it MUCH easier, although its an expensive tool that you basically are going to use once or twice. So I would recommend just trying without the ratcheting tool, but probably two people to get it as tight as possible. Ours came with a heavy plastic block attached to a thick bungee cord as the brake system. The plastic block has a hole in it through which to thread the zip line and then it slides until the bungee reaches its limit. It seemed pretty solid and worked well, but after about 8 months, the zip line started cutting the hole in the block wider. I contacted customer service, and they emailed back right away and said they'd switched to a steel spring brake system and would send me one right away. Sure enough a few days later it showed up, no fuss. The zip line is a lot of fun. It was a hit at our daughter's last birthday party and inspired some friends to get one (the friends who have the ratcheting tool). And its pretty good exercise probably - like with sledding, once the kid has ridden down, they have to run back up the hill with the trolley in tow. Grown-ups have been known to take a turn now and then as well. I highly recommend this product.

We purchased our zipline as a present for our boys a couple of months ago, but we did not get around to putting it up until a few weeks ago due to the weather. As we started to install the zipline, we realized the circumference of our trees (very large, old trees) were larger than the anchor sling provided in the original package. We reached out to the seller's customer service via email about our issue. We quickly heard back from them within less than a day and they asked for our information and quickly sent out a longer sling that worked for the size of our trees. It was an easy install, once we had the right slope between the two tree. Our boys and their neighborhood friends love it. The zipline is great quality and has with stood the the beating of hours upon hours of use from our boys and their friends, and a few adult rides ever now and then :-), over the past several weeks with no sign of wear. We love having such a hit in our backyard and cannot relay enough how appreciative we are for the ease of helping us solve our problem and what great service provided.

Very happy with this zipline so far. Took a couple of hours to set up. In theory, one could install this alone, but it is certainly helpful to have at least one other person. The longer the zipline (we only did the 80ft., for now...), the more help will be needed to pick up the slack for tightening the line. Do your kids a favor and buy a pool noodle from the dollar store, slice it length-wise and wrap it around the rope with tape to hold it on. Otherwise the rope will cause discomfort on their hands and other areas over time. Overall, it has been great fun for the kids (and I've been on it a couple times too)!

Everything was as pictured. All the components for the final setup. I bought the 250' system, but I set it up for 200' since I haven't got a second utility pole for the longer distance and I couldn't wait any longer to try it out. That said, You will need a way to take out about 4 feet of slack out of the line in order for it to not sag more than 5 feet in the middle. Also, know that you will be putting a lot of stress on whatever you connect this to, so don't expect it to be good on a 5" diameter tree or a 4x4 post. Anyway, I had a few family members who have ridden other professional ziplines and they said it sounded and felt about the same. (of course, theirs came with harnesses and other safety features this didn't come with. I did have one issue. One U-bolt clamp I used to temporarily pull on the cable while tensioning it stripped right off due to the force. The other was damaged so that it didn't come off easily. I don't think there was another way to accomplish the tensioning without really tightening up on these as they slid until I tightened them to where I did. I'm also going to buy another brake spring as the one I had left you with a pretty abrupt stop, so much so that I bruised my foot hitting the pole at the end. I don't blame the manufacturer for this, and for a child, they won't be going as fast and won't have as much momentum as my 170# body has.

With the expected assembly difficulty of a tree hung zip line, this is a very easy system to assemble with clear instructions. I had to build a platform at the START tree to make it possible for our grandkids to actually get to the zip line starting point without danger. It was over 15 feet in the air and not a possible tree climb. But, after building the platform and ladder, the entire experience has been amazing fun for all! I tested it (185 lbs) and it held me just fine. The only other thing to keep in mind is the height of the line on the FINISH tree. I put ours at 7 feet to keep the angle of descent within suggested parameters. It works flawlessly, except that the little ones (aka 10 year olds) are so light in weight that they don't pull down much on the cable so at the end they have quite a drop from the seat. To my surprise, they figured it out with no problem. I plan to build a small landing platform for that purpose, but that is tricky. Heavier users could HIT the platform (if the platform is too high), and lighter users will still have a significant drop at dismount (if the platform is too low). Just be aware of these physical realities and you'll be fine.

We purchased this zip line after hours of countless research on the internet for an affordable unit that comes with just about everything you need. Instructions in this thing are pretty straight forward. However, here is where they must think we are all Hercules. The cable stretched out (for us 85 ft) is extraordinarily heavy. They state in the directions that the kit comes with everything you need. To be frank that would be true if you have 5 adults helping you assemble. For myself, it was just my husband and I and our semi helpful 5 kids. It states the tension can be revealed upon installation by people holding sticks or brooms to support the weight as you stand on a platform/ladder attempting not to fall lifting what feels to be a million pounds tensioning the cable. I with the help of two kids lifting slack and my husband were unable to make it tight enough. DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR; BUY A CABLE PULLER AND A CABLE CLAMP TO HOLD IN PLACE UPON INSTALLING. Other than slightly tricky set up, it is AMAZING I highly recommend for the price! It has far paid for itself in the fact that my kids play on it constantly! It is very safe (when installed as recommended) and now that I know what i am doing and have the correct tools I would probably be able to get this thing installed in under 2 hours with one adult handy. SO MORAL OF THE STORY either have a lot of friends (strong friends) or spend the extra 50 bucks on the two other items needed to save you the headache! Other than that great product very happy!!!

I settled on this set after reading various reviews that discussed it as being of high quality and sturdy construction. After installation and 100+ trips down the zipline by the grandkids and their friends, I agree with that assessment and am really happy with the purchase. I ordered a cable that was 10 ft longer than our run required and was glad I did. It gave me the wiggle room I needed to wrap it around the end tree and then attach the cable to a nearby tree using a 2 inch tie-down strap as a come-along tool of sorts. Installation was made easier with two adults. We were able to create a loop at the end of the cable using one of the supplied cable clamps. With the loop attached to the come-along tool, we pulled the cable snug and then used the two other cable clamps to hold it in place. Then we detached the tie down device, removed the cable clamp releasing the loop we made, and installed the clamp between the other two so that all three were installed per the instructions. Once the cable was secure, the supplied turnbuckle tensioner worked great to tune the cable to our desired tension. The trolly is well built. The seat base and rope are a tad flimsy but adequate. After several runs, the kids complained that the skinny rope was hurting their groin so we added a cushion of sorts (an 8 inch piece of a foam swim noodle) and that solved the issue. Also, the cable is only 3/16 inch diameter so it's a tad more stretchy than a thicker cable would be. It's great for kids (8 - 12 year olds in my family) but an adult or older youth would probably have their feet dragging the ground when in the middle of the run. When I purchased this unit, I was content with the price. When I went to my shopping cart to check out, there was a $50 discount coupon that made the purchase a no-brainer.

Tons of fun for the kids! Surprisingly simply to set up and made from quality materials. Very happy with this purchase.

楽しく遊べます。終点でだいぶ跳ね返って大揺れするので心の準備が必要です。満足しています。 外に張りっぱなしにしているとやはりラインやボルト、ナットが錆びてきますね。張るときに引っ張るので力が要るので、女性一人だと少し難しいかもしれません。

Easy to set up with two people if you have some basic hand tool skills. Kids love it. I’m 6-1 200lbs and blue to use it no problem

easy install, well used by the whole family
