How do the HANDLE ends of the cords (i.e.where you lift from) attach to the wall? Do they lock in somehow, or do you have to wind them on a cleat?

They lock in similarly to blinds. There is a hook that holds the cords out of the way

If the one you receive works properly, you will allow 8 inches away from the wall to work the blind-like mechanism to adjust each life to any desired height. In reality, of the three I ordered, only one had all three lifts working correctly. On the other two, one of the blind-like mechanisms failed to work and Greenway would not address the issue. So for those nonworking rods, I have to wind the cord around the cord holder that comes with the unit and use it like a cleat. Now, that's the real scoop on it.

The cords work much like those on a window blind, and the dangling cord (when the individual rods are pulled up to the ceiling) is held next to the wall by a cord holder. The "holder" keeps the cord out of the way, but the rod is held up by a cam-lock mechanism in the ceiling unit itself. It works very well and I have been pleased with mine. I like air dried towels and this really does the trick.

Cords are not wound on a cleat, rather they clip into a little plastic holder and hang down. The holder needs to be mounted within reach near the one end of the rack. So far it looks like a tidy way to manage the cords.Don

You will have a stopper for each cord and an attachment with hooks to fix to the wall. Hope it helps.

The tie down go from the back to front different from what one might think.. On mine I wrapped one over the top and one around the back. The rope one attaches the top and bottom if the bottom falls off the tree. The elastic is for the claiming foot holds. They go towards the forward edge leaving room for you boots to if in and not hang over the edeg. I dont use them. If you have a question email me. Kturner918@gmail

No the cooleroo has 2 bungy cord attachments at the bottom that keep it in place on windy days.It's a nice feature... you just lock them in to the brackets and attach the cords. There's a ball l at the bottom that locks into the wall mounts. It's nice and stays in place.Richard in Texas

there are hooks on the side that you attach the handles to. It works really well.

The reason for mounting these bolts onto plywood is that they are machine bolts and require T-nuts to fasten the climbing hold firmly. You might be able to find wood lag screws and screw them into the studs of the wall but the constant application of weight on the holds would loosen the lag screws and the holds would spin. Here is a nice video of how the bolts and holds are placed on the 3/4" plywood. http://www.threeballclimbing.com/hardware/t-nuts.htm. You could drill all the holes for the holds on the plywood like in the video, then place 2X4 studs between the plywood and the wall studs and lag screw the plywood onto the wall for a vertical climbing wall. Hope this helps.

The male end is the end with the screw on lock it goes into the electrical plug that is on your trailer or RV. The other end goes into the electrical hookup box at the pole and you are correct the other is just standard RV hook up end. The lock unit is nice to have especially with the handle hanging down it doesn't put stress on the cord it also stays secure when plugged into your trailer. Our trailer came with the Marine electrical lock system already so when our cord went bad I was glad to find one at Amazon it fits just right we have had it going on 2 years. The cord is also easy to wind up. Hope this helps you on your question. The male end is the end with the screw on lock it goes into the electrical plug that is on your trailer or RV.

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.

Hi Roberta, As I recall, you kind of put them over the end of the axel (the long stick), and just push. They'll click in. The stand is already installed - it just folds up and down.

I attach mine at the very top of the wall and run fleece bridges or stick perches a little underneath as my guys really enjoy climbing and jumping in. If you are concerned you can start it at the bottom, that way if they are not used to this type of wheel and happen to get pl overly excited and fall out, they have a place to land nearby :)

You tie down the corners to stakes about 3 feet out from the corners. Helpful in wind.

If you make sure the velcro net tabs are tight around the post you shouldn't have a problem. As for Jesse's question; There is a black perimeter around the bottom of the net. After setup place the black portion under the cleat on the bottom of the posts and the net will stay secured to the ground. Great Questions!

The handlebar's are secured by 2 bolts so they don't twist. They do move just slightly but it not a problem during the workout. Very stable and secure.

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.

Hey Tom: I'm not sure personally that I would trust clamps to hold this on, especially if you are hauling a canoe or kayak(s), which could catch a lot of wind and create significant shearing force that could destabilize the rack and cause it to slide off. I'm not physics major or engineer, but that's my two cents.

Where the 2 poles meet, there is a twist clamp to lock it at any height you wont..

The cords are already attached. I believe you can "tighten" it if you want the bounce to change if it starts feeling too loose after some usage. The only thing you will need to attach are the legs. It is very simple. No tools require. Just screw the legs in! Once in it is very sturdy. The legs can be remove for easy storage if you wish.
