How easy is it to cut this rope - and secure both ends so rope does not tear apart?

It's simple to cut with a sharp edge, then take a match or lighter and melt the end to prevent unraveling.

Just go ahead and start the melt to cut the cord. That will take care of the fusing step at the same time, and make the ends more durable.If you need a finer break (like a sharp angle for attaching a lacing needle, or a clean end), heat a razor blade or cheap knife and use it to cut and fuse at the same time.

Its fairly easy, all you need is a pair of scissors or a knife to cut it and a match or lighter to melt the ends together. Just a note, try to make sure the white strings are the same length as the outer rope because it will make it easier to melt together.

I cut it with a sharp pair of scissors, then melt the ends with a lighter. Melting the ends will keep it from coming apart.

The instructions only tell you the usual (stand on rope and adjust it so the end of handles are 6inches under collar bone) but if you're around 5'5 or under there will be lots of excess rope and this rope is not at all easily cut! Even bolt cutters wouldn't do it for me and when I eventually (finally) cut one end off I was left with a twisted mangled mess where it was cut!

It can be cut and no, it will not come apart. This netting is knotted together.

Melt the ends to seal the cut site. I also melt any holes I punch as well. Woven nylon fibers will always fray.

It is a little long, but I just put it next to my grip, got a rough estimate of how much to trim off. Laid it flat (squeezed it together) and trimmed both sides at the same time. So that it's the same on both sides. One cut. Make sure you're clear of your safety, on the back of the grip. I bought the grip tape, and put it under. It's not that thick. It keeps it in place, and it hasn't ripped or moved. And you can still take it off, if you want to.

Chainsaw: I don't feel you will have any problems with 1/2" rope unless the rope is frayed or a knot has to pass. Example: 1/2" nylon rope or similar with no loops, knots or frayed pass through it smoothly with no clearance issues.

very easy. May need a pair of pliers and a towel the first time, but after that hand tighten and you're good to go.

Tie one end off hard, rod rope through tensioner, so therefore you only need one.

The rope is wrapped very tightly and we haven't noticed any problems with it coming loose at all. This is a VERY sharp blade sword. Just FYI.

I wouldnt cut it down. There is a seam that goes all the way around the outer edge to hold the fabric together and probably keep it from fraying.

The outside sheathing on the rope is flexible and fairly coarse. I have not had any problems with knots loosening. This is a utility rope, not intended for climbing, rappeling. etc. I use it mostly when working up high to apply tension to branches to direct their fall after cutting. It is a good general purpose utility rope and I have used it for many things from tree work to camping to raising light loads. As always, use the proper knot for the application. Hope this helps!

I have cut mine to the length I need and I have not had any fraying. We use it to too our pergola and actually take it down for winter and put it back up the next year. The first time I used it it lasted 3 years before it needed replacing and we live in a very windy area.

Yes, very easy to cut. It works great, we love it for our little boy. He moves around a lot in the tub and doesn't slip at all!

Apply liberal amounts of (non-toxic) wood glue to the post. Then just wind the rope such that it wraps over the end of the rope. Keep winding until the entire post is covered and then one more unglued wind that you can tie off. When the glue dries hard, clip off the unglued loop and you're done.

Yes, that is correct...just "fold" the two pieces over on top of one another. There will be some tension but it will go...and don't worry about damage, they will stay as sharp as ever.

Check on the right hand side along the rail that the seat slides on. There is a zip tie that needs to be cut AFTER everything else is assembled. (There is a picture next to it of scissors cutting it). This is hard to cut, but once cut the rope will go in all the way. It took me a while to figure this out. For the record, I read the instructions multiple times and never found this in the instructions.

Yes it is relatively easy to replace the rope - we needed a longer one due to the branch height we were using and the age of the grandchildren and My husband had no trouble replacing it.
