I need a 100 foot out & 100 foot back run in my yard, will this line work for such a long span without sagging?
1113937
It will eventually start sagging but I have used other types of line and they have all needed to be retighten at one point.
1113938
This product will definitely sag. I would use some type of steel cable instead if you don't want it to sag.
1113939
That is not my experience. We have had significant sagging with shorter lengths.

I use this in a 50 foot run with a support at the halfway point and have had to restretch it a couple of times already. I think part of the question on sagging depends on the weight of what you hang on it, but I don't know of anything lightweight enough that I would hang that it wouldn't sag at a much shorter distance much less such a long span.
1113941
A span that long will need to be supported about every 25 feet based on my experience.

No. Ours is about 30 feet and even though we finally managed to get it really tight, it will still sag a little as you put clothes on it. So we got a clothes pole to prop it up in the middle. Also since it will stretch over time anyway, we needed to retighten it every few weeks, although this seems to have been an initial stretching period as the wire bedded in. Now it only needs to be restretched every couple of months. And this is with only 30 feet. To get a wire that didn't stretch it'd have to be at least twice as thick. I fitted a cheap ratchet device that allows the wire to be tightened a notch really easily, so adjusting it isn't really any big deal and it's still miles better than using a rope.

I haven't had a problem with a 50' extension cord with 14 ga. wire. If you want to go 100', you should probably use 12 ga.

More depends on the vertical distance than the horizontal distance. I doubt 100 ft would be a problem if the hose were full of water to begin with. There would be some interior friction, but negligible. Again, my assumption. These pumps do not pump out fire house streams or with great pressure. If you look at the gallons per minute, you'll have a fair idea.

slim to none .. you are limited to 100 meters (330 Feet) before you need a Repeater/Router to extend it more than that.. so at a 1000ft you would need to install 2 Repeaters .. if it was me and i had to go 1000ft i would use Fiber .. there are Cat5/6 to fiber converters that are fairly cheap, and there is direct burial fiber cable that is cheap enough too .. using fiber @ 1000ft would be no problem then.

I find that it does sag due to stretch, but I just tighten it. I also purchased two rollers that connect the top and bottom of the line. That certainly helps, but limits use of the whole line.

I would use a 10/3 cord. For every 100 feet you should use 1 size bigger gauge.

without internal supports, I can almost guarantee any line like this will sag...also, your supporting poles on each end must be strong and deeply buried to counter weight and pull over such a long distance...good luck. You may even have to go to a larger diameter line to contain the line pull over such a distance without the line breaking.

Sorry, but I have not used it for a long run as a 1000 ft Try using a cat 6 instead.
340566
I have a run much longer than that but what I used was a HDMI to cat5 or cat6 converter this worked well for me. Works up to 100' if you use cat6 cable for the longer run. These were just over $20 + the cat5 or cat6 cables.

Absolutely not. This item is rated at 13A as its maximum capacity, but that applies only for short periods. Carrying such a load for 20+ minutes would overheat the cord, shortening its life and possibly causing insulation to soften, risking an internal short-circuit. Furthermore, with only a 50 ft. length, you'd be tempted to add on a second extension cord, which makes the overheating problem even worse. For 50 ft., you need 14 gauge (14/3); for 100 ft., you need 12 gauge (12/3); 200 ft. => 10 gauge; and so on.

The simple answer is that it depends on the length. The longer the run, the larger wire should be used. If it is a few feet, there will likely be no discernible difference. It it is 100' probably the reading would be lower due to the voltage drop.

I'm not sure if it's gonna work... On my house, I have the main station on the first floor, and the extender on the second floor. With that, I can go about 100ft on the street before losing it. I don't think it would work with 300ft.

I don't really know for sure, you probably should check with an electrician. I can tell you that I ran power to a detached shop from home breaker box. I used 10-3 outdoor grade wiring for the 100 foot span. Absolutely no problems.

Robert - p'raps it would have been sensible for me to check other answers to your question before firing off my own. Checking the original picture I posted, with how I have the hose installed now, originally loose, now more tightly wound, I have to say I think in the looser fashion you could accommodate a 100ft hose - not too sure about 150ft, unless it was one of the newer, lightweight, contracting hoses. This said, I do think it helps to have the unit mounted on wood, as opposed to vinyl siding, for added security.

It doesn't stay kinked, but it is only 25 foot long. I swapped it out for a 50 foot length of line.

I'm sure it will depend on output. I run 30 feet for an hour but not at full force.

The spool is pretty full with the 65 feet already. So I believe 100 feet might be to much.
