Is there a way to adjust the length overhead line besides wrapping it around the tree? What if I have 43' from tree to hook in the side of my house?

It comes with these screw hooks that you could screw into the tree and then you could make a small loop at the end of the line (you can cut it if it's too long) and fasten it using the clamps they provide in the kit. The way we did it was to loop it around the tree once, and then fasten the end back to the line using the clamp

You could also wrap the cable around the tree, of course the diameter of the tree could determine how well that works. That's what we did camping, when I didn't have tools to adjust the length.

Naturally there's a way to adjust the length. It comes with a standard piece of wire hardware for each end, which is how you connect the wire to the eye hooks. You loop the wire through the eye hook back with the incoming wire, and they both go through the U-shaped hardware that snugs with a nut on each side of the U. You can see this piece of hardware in the picture.

Hello Dimitrios, the whole trapeze is about 3 m long (1.5 when half bended/hanging),there are 2 parts with handles that you can adjust.Also we send 2 nylon ropes wit the trapeze in case you would have higher ceilings or want to use it over the tree, it will help you.Thank you!

We used a large I hook on the side of our house and then stretched it across to a telephone pole at the end of our driveway. Everyone's circumstances will be different of course depending on what you have available at your home.

yes adjust the rope, right side or left sided, to make swing level, then clamp it tight with the hardware supplied with swing. I placed a level on swing when I hung it from the branch of my tree. 2 people are best. I did cut excess rope after making sure it was level

I guess you could tie the line to the end but why? Might as well cut a 4 or 5 foot branch off a tree. Its shorter than the usual rod. Its designed for a reel, I use one.

Why would you want this so high? Thinking of hanging lights or what? You would have to modify it by buying a smaller size and use the pole from it inside of this larger one and use a pin to secure it when at a desirable height. Or there are other more expensive stands that I know can adjust 1 0r 2 feet taller than this one.Hope this was helpful.

if it is a little stretched and you prefer it is not i would just suggest buying two big s-hooks and maybe two chains from your local home improvement store or amazon. you could even ask what your local home improvement store employees would suggest. :] hope that helps.

I have cathedral ceilings and I had to cut quite a bit of cord off to make it hang where I wanted it. Lots of cord to work with

If it is of shorter distance to an outlet & no way to hide or decorate the cord?You may need to shorten as it is over 4ft.of electrical cord.

You can adjust it to any length you want. You just have to pull the wires up through the top and tuck them into the housing. It's pretty easy to do. I love my lights.

The version I got was adjustable to 45inches from the ceiling. You have a few options.

As a matter of fact I used 6 x 50 watt lights. I took the line of 100 feet and cut in half and have about 50 feet going in each direction attached to the Power Supply. The supply is attached to the back of a tree out of sight. I screwed a piece of wood, 1/2" x 3" x 12" to the rear of the tree to prevent sap from dripping and collecting on the power supply. I hand wrapped the two ends of the wire together and attached to the power supply, 50 feet going each way. It is working very well.

Depends on your situation....I used two carabiners and hooks on the house side and a long rope to reach a tree across the yard for the last corner.

No it cannot. you might try using a shorter extension but am not the expert. So, i recommend you speak to an electrician.

Hi Brian, No, I would not recommend shortening this wire, esp. since it has a warranty. When we purchased this product, we thought it was going to be too long for the designated overhead portion of our roof, but turns out it fit perfectly. Once we looped the wire up and down to cover the entire area we wanted protected, the length actually turned out to be perfect.

Our cord was long enough to hang the lights from a 14 ft ceiling, about 7 ft off the floor.(I believe the description says it's a 50" inch cord) I don't know if you could replace the cord. The wires were covered in a cord that matched the fixture (oiled bronze). We had the electrician that wired the addition install all the fixtures and I don't think he had any issues with these. I posted a picture of one of the lights. I saw where they are $7.99 now so you wouldn't be out much if you wanted to try a longer cord. (Ours were twice that)

As long as (and this might sound obvious to some, but I never assume) you cut off the end opposite the power cord. Its not like Christmas lights where if one goes they all go. Make it as long or short as you need.
