I can't answer your question but I would advise taking a photo of the bed and all the dimensions and head over to a Home Depot manager and hopefully they can help. Good luck!

About 100' of the size which comes with it larger rope less rope. I wouldn't recommend more than 75 because it lacks the ability to control even loading bunches up sometimes and jams

I'd guess the rope to be 3/8". I would be hesitant to load it with anything approaching 500lb. The construction of the block & tackle itself does not look remotely sturdy enough to lift a full size car (the equivalent of about 4000lb)

Rope is long enough for 12 foot ceiling. I mounted mine on a 9 foot ceiling with plenty of excess rope.

You find three places as close to straight out from of the three ends that the ropes will reach with enough left to tie SECURELY !!!! And make sure the places you tie to can take a LOT I repeat a LOT of pulling weight. You are putting up a "sail" and it would move a small boat if you get big winds.If you need more clarity, ask me , Vern The other answer was good for detail,

Good afternoon, SopranoGI. The overall length of the rope is 83.5". Additional rope will need to be purchased. Thank you, Sarah | HearthSong Customer Service

The width of the pulley where the rope would ride is 1/4". I use this pulley with cable.

We got other rope that was stronger than what came with it and never really used the ones they sent. lI don't know if you can get them from the manufacturer.

Actually, I have all the reason to rope straight up is the easiest. If you have the pulley set to wide (wider than our object), it will take slightly more force to pull it up. The fact is you will be pulling 4 times the distance of vertical travel in exchange for using 1/4 of the force that is needed to pull. But besides properly place the pulley above, the easiest way to pull up the object of desire is to pull with one hand and put the object up with the other. I do it with my bike and it is rather easy. Perhaps you can ask for a second set of hands for help. Enjoy.

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.

I suspect that the seat is way too big for a bedroom. It's about 18" by 10" and the rope is 11/2"

The rope is heavy not to heavy i don't know how many lbs it is but it looks heaver than it is . The only problem is the handles are to big to hold it . I would not buy this item again because of it

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 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 just got this rope recently myself and it is fairly thick, maybe a 1/4 inch. Definitely good for hanging anything.

The easiest way is to pull the old one out and measure, if it was a similar system. If it was an old school pulley system that you're modernizing, then get some rope and lay it down along the proposed path, then measure. Maybe Teleflex has some more tips on their site

sold as a set. with the four poles (and stands) and three plastic, stretchy ropes you can rope off about 40 feet. we do this for a large museum display. you could also outline a path about 20-25 feet long with a rope on each side (with one rope not used). the further you stretch the rope, the moree weight you need in the stands. You fill them with your own sand or witrh water.
