If two ropes are joined together do you need to use the "extension cord" between them or do they just fit together neatly?

Hey Angry... They connect to one another with the goofy and cumbersome round plug that is built in. It works fine as long as you don't mind looking at the big, goofy connector. Hope this helps.

The extension cord can be removed by unscrewing it and multiple ropes (i have 6) can be chained together using a single plug extension. Hope this helps.

they fit together. No extension needed. My only regret, while I've had no issues with this product, wish I would have spent just a little bit more for the LED rope lighting.

Hi Mark, I only used the rope with this unit and never used the tape. Depending on what you are using it to keep out / in, I am sure the tape works well but I don't know what distance will be lost if any.

No overlap is required but its faster and easier to do so. I usually do an inch or so. As far as stapling pattern, I do enough to keep the paper down. I tend to remind myself that its vapor barrier and more solid pieces down with least amount of holes. Hope that helps.

I use standard indoor/outdoor extension cords and it is a snug fit. I do not think larger connectors would let you close the box.

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

I think so, but I'm not using mine now. I think that worst case scenario would be that you might need to sit on a stool or tie on an extension to the rope. No big deal in my opinion.

Not rope but a nylon cord that is 1/4 " that runs the full length and sticks out some. So you can thread it easier.

It would be hard to attach this swing to a single rope. You really need two ropes spaced apart a similar width to the swing for it to work.

I do use a short extension cord. I don't have it anymore. It's not very durable. It started coming apart.

I used carabiners and bungee cords. I bought some camo bungee cords here on amazon. The bungees work out well because the give some flexibility in the wind. I started by planning out the connection at the house side, where I have 3 of them attached to a set of upright posts. At the end away from the house I was able to use posts attached to the fence, and spanned the gap with the bungees. But you have to plan it out or they won't hang right.

(1) They sell a separate extension kit that I have not used. (2) As long as you twist it the correct way, it will not come loose; you can tape over the joints with duct tape to keep it connected if you are concerned. Just do not reverse direction when you take it out.

I don't think so. All connections are click in type. The ropes are knotted by itself.

Its not very long or thick. You could link a few together to wrap around the extension cord....just that you'll need more to them to get the job.... : )

Please, it's just a string! Take a new piece of string a few inches long, tie a loop in both ends, slip out the original string (it's not permanently attached... it loosens very easily, no cuts needed), and loop your extension piece onto either end (exactly the same way the original string is looped around and threaded through the attachment point). Be an example to your kids (like Catherine) by having a positive attitude about solving simple problems resourcefully.

You must un-screw the neck. The neck is what the rope is tied to,RegardsAPW

There are two hooks on each side that hold the bungee cord, so you do not have to knot the end of the cord. I usually do not knot the cord, as that way the cord is adjustable.

The elastic cord just slips through an opening, then goes around a "clamp arm" that hold it. We just seared the ends of bungee to prevent fraying, no knots needed ( but you could put in a knot). Has worked well for us, as straight and looped bungees for a tarp.
