will this work with Yellow Braided Polypropylene Rope? if so, up to what size diameter rope
2039602
It comes with a yellow poly tow rope.....ours broke/shredded after several uses. We prefer a softer white nylon rope. We have two zip lines. The first zip we got had a nylon rope that has held up much better.

No. polypropylene rope shreds,will fly off into child's eyes. Find a coated type of rope. don't know diameter size. hope this helps

I would not recommend using rope. You need some type of steel strand which needs to be as tight as possible between two trees.

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

Technically it could be however, polypropylene rope is not UV resistant (ie will rot in the sun), will stretch and will be quickly damaged by friction. I would STRONGLY suggest metal cables if you are using this as a person trolley. 3/8" or less works well regardless of material.

I've got this for my kids. I wouldn't advise it. The friction created would be problematic. We used a metal cable.

¼ to ⅜ inch should work fine...but it might be difficult getting the proper tension with rope over cable...

Sorry but rope would stretch too much! Must use at least 1/4 inch cable for children, bought cable at Home Depot in 125ft reel best buy that I found

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".

The cable is 3/16" I've had the cable out 40' and still had plenty on the spool. I see no reason why the cable couldn't be replaced with nylon rope.

I use a 1/4" rope and that works fine. The distance across the top of the groove is about 3/8", but I'm not sureit would handle a 3/8" rope all that well.

Just buy some heavy duty braided rope...like para cord, 50 or 100 ft. for just a few dollars, much better than a cheap plastic rope.Hope tis helps

The rope is nylon and about as big as a pencil lead. What gauge that is, I don't know. I like it. If I need more I am buying this stuff. It works great for my outdoor chicken area.

Tool works well for cutting rope, line, and paracord made from nylon or Dacron. I have plastic funnels which It would cut easily, and then there are others it would not. Your material is the key.

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.

It should be fine. What the picture does not show is the chain on the end of the rope that makes it adjustable and easy to attach. I have mine attached with a carabiner.

I never tried that with any thing other than rope. It might work. It's quite flexible material.

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

I'm not sure, I use it to cut styrofoam , but if the rope is plastic fibers I don't see why not, but I noticed when I cut through thick styrofoam I have to cut very slow to get through.

Yes to the length, I have used it for 3/32" to 1/4" wide tie wraps and it works fine. I can check to see if the design is such that it will accept anything wider on Friday if that will be useful.

the wire is about 3/8 inches thick. I didn't measure it because I cut about 8 foot to use. The length is about 20-25 feet long. As far as using nylon rope, It would depend on the thickness and length.

The rope that comes with it is very sturdy, and the hook is well made and also sturdy, BUT I have no idea if it would work for your purpose, since that would be determined by your weight and other factors. Wish I could be more helpful, but I use it for tree trimming.

I purchased separately on Amazon. High temperature will work. The color on the rope is dark. I installed myself. Fits you'll have some left over. Hope this helps.

It actually works ok for short keels, but gets very heavy if you go too long with it. So just make appropriate lengths for the power / size ratio of your foil/kite and youll ne ok. Also, it may shred a bit if you do a lot of overlapping spins where one rope rubs the other
