what size diameter is the rope?

I am not sure what the diameter is but it is the same as a ski rope. I have two and both have been used for anchoring kayaks. We have tied up to six kayaks on the Gulf Of Mexico and had no problems. The rope and the anchor should be fine for kayak and small boats. You will not be able to break it by pulling on it, unless you a superhero.

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 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.

Not sure how long rope is. It was plenty long for my 2-story home. Haven't used the kit in 5 years now.

The braided cable has a diameter of approximately 3/16". The length of the cable is difficult for me to judge (I have it installed in an attic and the cable is running through several pulleys along the rafters), but it is easily 50' and I would guess that it is closer to 60', but I am not absolutely sure. Yes, the wire could be replaced with a nylon rope, just make sure that you burn the end that is attached to the pulley (to ensure a stronger connection with the wedge used to tie the cable/rope to the winch.

The pulley system has fairly tight tolerances. It's hard to say for sure but my best guess is it won't accept a larger diameter rope. The rope that came with this worked great and held a large deer off the ground if that helps.

I have 2 of these pulleys and I use 3/8" rope and it works fine. Not sure how 1/2" would work, though. There doesn't seem to be much room when I am using 3/8".

I believe that the rope is 1/4 inch and is a hollow braid material. It is 25 feet long and tied with knots at the hook and the anchor. The knots are poor and the rope is really to short. The anchor system is good and well worth the purchase but the first thing I did was to change out the rope with one 50 foot long and of better quality .

My rope is 60' as purchased. Works well with my 24' boat. A longer rope would cause my riders to swing very far off to the side of my boat on tight, fast turns, so I am happy with this length.

to &#8540; inch should work fine...but it might be difficult getting the proper tension with rope over cable...

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.

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

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.

Cable dia. is 3/32 (.093); Cable length 50'. I see no reason that the cable couldn't be replaced by nylon rope.

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.

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

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.
