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...

2inch fits just fine. I have 4 battle ropes 2inch dia. in my fitness studio.

Be sure to pick the correct size I bought the 10 x 20 white and it works well, be sure to center it end for end before tightening the ropes.

What will I be hanging this on or from? I hung mine from a tree it's pretty big and the rope is long. All I need was a 2 foot chain link to connect around the tree with.

The rope I purchased was a 20 ft. rope. It is 20 feet long and still working well.

Sorry but rope would stretch too much! Must use at least 1/4 inch cable for children, bought cable at Home Depot in 125ft reel best buy that I found

I have it mounted to a 7ft high ceiling and I use maybe half the rope provided. In a pinch, your local hardware store run can easily provide you with as much rope as you need.

You bet. A great rope! I would recommend using only figure 8's since some of the mechanical belay or rappel devises are made for larger diameter ropes.

If this is your first time getting a battle rope, I would recommend a rope that is 1'5" diameter and 30 feet. It will be easier to handle and a good standard size for battle rope moves. You can always venture out into heavier ropes after getting use to using ropes. Hope this helps!

2 inch size is good for quick flattening, I would surely recommend 2 inch instead of smaller one.

The directions say 32". (FYI, narrower gets you more inherent instability to stabilize in your exercise; wider gets you good burn in the chest for pec flyes, etc.) So considering that you'll be stuck with one distance, I'd go with Lifeline's suggested 32", which is TWO standard wall or ceiling beam distances part. That's the distance I just used in my basement and it works very well.

at my gym, they said a good "rule of thumb" to determine proper length, is to stand on the rope and pull your hands (with the rope handles in them) to your eye level. That would be proper length... that being said, i prefer mine slightly shorter than that and adjusting this rope is really easy. Since you'll want it much shorter than mine, i would think you would want to trim the excess rope because it will be clumsy and annoying to work with but can easily be done with some sort of plier or snips. hope this helps...

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.

You shouldn't have any issues using the rope. Cut your rope short, I'm a six foot male and the the rope length I use is about 30 inches. When the rope is shorter you use your legs as well as your arms to help draw the string back. I hope this helps and if you have any other questions ask away.

Many sizes are available, and what you plan on doing with your rope has a lot to do with it. Most standard rope movements for a beginner could be done with plenty of intensity with a 30ft long 1 & 1/2 inch rope. Intermediate and a good rope to have is a 40 ft. long 1 & 1/2 inch. 2 in. diameter ropes are for those with some established rope training and are heavier causing more intensity during workout.

It's a cable, not a rope. The unit I received was a piece of junk that didn't work at all, so it wouldn't have mattered whether the cable was 1 foot or 50 feet long.

Your 15.5 gauge staples will work but remember it has to be 1/2 in width too.
