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...

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

Pay attention to tensile strength and working load the working load of a rope is usually 1/5 the breaking strength so if a rope has a breaking strength of 1500 pounds you can safely use it for something around 500 pounds. like two or three pre-teen kids and a big tire. So if you get a 1000 pound test rope you have to remember if you weigh 200 pounds once you use the rope as a pendulum you weigh more than 200 pounds when you swing. so get one that's at least a 1200 pound rope.

It depends on length of the run as well. Look online and there are good resources to help you determine if 1/2" is adequate for your job. I decided against using it at my house because I am in lightening alley in Florida and I did not like the pictures I found of appropriately grounded hose getting blown out.

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.

I got the 15 meter and it works great between two trees in my backyard... and trust me, it's still longer than I can transverse without falling off.... that all said, if you don't care about the extra cost, having the extra length is always useful...

I don't think 2.5 inches will work. My bar is a standard 3/4 inch pipe which is 1.05 inch nominal outside diameter. The handles seem designed for about that size. I think a 1 inch standard pipe, outside diameter 1.315 might work, but no larger.

Go with two 25 footers. If you ruin one end, you've only lost half of the hose.

I have used this type of rope for climbing. I bought some grip tape an wrapped it at intervals the length of the climb. It worked fine. 1.5in dia. is the most common for climbing.

No--Would not use for any rope over 1/2 unless you plan to insert the rope thru the opening and tie a simple knot.Bug-SC

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.

Aloha,Well you got me there.I sent mine back for lack of power, any pressure on the belt brought it to a dead stop.But if I were to hazard a guess I would say 2".I hope that this will help with your question.

1 30/40' rope. However, ropes are long enough to loop around a stationary object and forming a pair for bilateral upper extremity usage. Trust me, the BLACK MAMBA will rock your world.

I honestly don't recall how long the provided rope was because I replaced it with a stronger, smaller diameter rope immediately, which permitted me to use a 16 ft rope.

Diameter of the rope...sorta. I got the 1/8" ones and the rope is just a little thicker than 1/8", more like 3/16". I have seen the 1/4" ones in a store and they were almost 3/8" thick.

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.

I replaced mine with a slighty larger, stronger rope - personal preference only - the cord that comes with it is plenty strong and is long enough for almost any application.
