I will be using this rope in my basement area which limits me to 15ft rope. Which rope would you suggest 1.5" or 2"?

Fifteen is kind of short. For me I'd definitely go with the heavier (usually thicker) rope.

Unless you have ReallyBigHands or are a very accomplished athlete ( w really good grip. ) the 1.5's would work better for you.

Hi, I would use a 2" rope. The reason The 2" rope is heavyer than the 1.5" rope. You will get a better workout.

The limitation of 15ft will not affect whether 1.5" or 2" is right for you. The only consideration is circumference to hand size and weight to length. It is difficult for an average sized, athletic man to climb 2" rope because the circumference makes grip strength a challenge.Most intermediate to advanced athletes would still climb 1.75". 1.5" is good for beginners. If you are only doing battle ropes with this, the added diameter adds additional weight over a given distance, making larger rope more challenging for the grip, as well as all other muscles involved. If you will be tugging (e.g. tug of war, sled pulling), the grip is, again the key factor. I suggest a demo, go get your hands on it. Or, failing that, roll a sheet of paper to a 1.5" and 2" diameter and see how your hand gets around it. For most 1.5"=beginner, 1.75"=intermediate, 2"= advanced... don't forget to purchase a length just over double the distance you plan to battle so you have enough...

Best fit is 1.25 to 1.5", but if you have a vise and a need, you can reform it to fit a 2" or even thicker.

My ceilings are 12 feet - there is at least six feet more rope left fully extended. No problem.

The one I received is 2.03" for the rigid body length The bend radius of the cable is approximately 1 inch. The OD of the rigid section measured 0.396. I have run my through 2 inch PVC with 90 degree fittings but have not tried 1.5 inch.

The total circumference of the grommet whole is the size of a quarter. Like the Navy Vet, I used bungee cords to tie down to my RV. If I would have to use rope I would use the 1 inch as suggested by the Navy Vet as I know that would fit the grommet.

The supplied rope is approximately 0.25" diameter. I wouldn't recommend varying very much from that size as it may effect the performance of the rope locking mechanism and the pulleys. The length needs to be at least 5 times the distance from the mount rail to the lowest point you want it to go down to. For instance, if you have the rail mounted to a 10' ceiling and you want the hooks to go all the way down to the floor you would need about 50' of rope. Unless you are lifting a weight higher than that of an average bike, you might want to wait until you see the supplied rope before buying the kevlar cord . . . the supplied rope is quite adequate in my opinion. Good luck.

I am not sure what size rope, but I have a three wheel bike up on it in the garage. My husband used an extra rope just to make sure it would not Give. It is up high now so I can't measure anything. To see it in use, Go to my Facebook Janice Larson Lundblad Dreier. The 300 watt light bulb obscures some vision.

I used a 1/2 " line (copper or black pipe) for 15 feet in my house and this fireplace works great. I would say that 1/2" line would be good for 30 feet. Longer then that, I would go with 3/4"' I hope this helps.

It is a fairly static rope with about a 2% stretch or so at the most. 2 feet will stretch about half to 3/4 of an inch when pulled hard. I don't know if it would stretch more with continues load but I don't think so

It depends on what you are trying to make. At The Home Depot you can get 100 feet of 7/16 inch rope for 20.00$ and it has a work load limit of 300 pounds with a break strength of 3000 pound so that should work for what you are trying to make, that is what i use for swings though if you are making a rope swing you will want it to be no thinner than 5/8 inch and with a break strength of 10,000 pounds. I use a 3/4 inch 3 strand rope from The Home Depot with a break strength of 12,000 pounds 5 years still holding strong. WARNING! Don't get rope from Lowe's.

owners manual for af (alien flyer) says " 7x19 GALVANIZED WIRE ROPE 3/16 TO 7/16 DIAMETER WIRE ROPE" I used 3/8 for a 50 foot run and tightened it with a "come along"

You are going to be really squeezing it. I don't think it will work for you, as I am 6,1 and I must be at least 7 feet high when I am on the up and up part of the dip.I am so sorry, you can't use it in basement, maybe somewhere else, because it is definitely worth it.Good luck friend.

the clip from inside spring to the pin to hold at the bottom is just under 1 3/4" so a 1 1/2 inch would be best but it stays on a wider belt pretty well even if it doesn't hook over the bottom edge of the belt. Fishing on the lake with a 2" belt, maybe better not try that....

Hello, I have 2 inch incoming and 1.5 out going. I use my pump for for a booster pump for an R.O. System. Works great.

Not this particular rope, you'll need something thicker made from manilla. If it's for lifting stuff find som3thing at a higher gauge if you need it to.lift people or animals ect find a nice synthetic.

I actually used a 1/8'' piece of cable with mine. However you should be able to use a 1/2" piece of rope. I am not sure but 3/8 would either be the max on size or perhaps to large. Hope this helps.

I use a 1/4" rope and that works fine. The distance across the top of the groove is about 3/8", but I'm not sureit would handle a 3/8" rope all that well.
