I am 5'5 1/2 tall what length rope should I be using?

Add roughly 2ft 10 inches to your height and thats how long the rope should be. Another way to adjust would be by standing straight while stepping on the rope under one foot. The end tip of the handle should reach your armpit while your arm is extended out horizontally. Hope this helps. If anything, there are good videos on YouTube on how to do it.

These ropes are easily adjustable. Originally it was a little long for my 6'4" height, but I could adjust it to the appropriate length for me. You can do the same thing Michelle.

The rope will fit your size once you trim it. You'll need wire cutters to adjust the length of your rope.

Hello and thank you for your interest in our product, unfortunately we do not have a 5 foot rope available. I do apologize for any inconvenience and as always do feel free to contact me for further assistance. Thanks again Andrea

Depends on where you are going to use it. If you are not going off paved or level surfaces. If so go with the shorter one. It should be about level with your shoulder. Try the 48"

Hello Nicholas,Thanks for the question. I bought this rope to include in my emergency kit and have not opened it, but the wrapper clearly states 3/8" x 25ft. It is one single rope and does appear to be of good quality. The packaged rope is 12" long, has 12 complete loops and several bindings, so I'm pretty sure it's at least 25ft. I am of the opinion that the picture featuring three ropes is to clarify that there are several colors available. My particular rope is green, but I wasn't given an opportunity to choose a color. For the price, this rope is very good value for money and arrived quickly. I have no complaints.Regards and Seasonal Greetings,Ray. Hello Nicholas,Thanks for the question.

owners manual for af (alien flyer) says " 7x19 GALVANIZED WIRE ROPE 3/16 TO 7/16 DIAMETER WIRE ROPE" I used 3/8 for a 50 foot run and tightened it with a "come along"

If you're using that many then yes 3/8 rope will be fine. 2 or less you'd want bigger size

Siamak, I don't think your size really matters. It is your fitness level that will determine the rope size. The thicker the rope & longer the rope, the higher the difficulty level. Shorter/thinner ropes will allow longer exercise durations, while the opposite will yield shorter & more intense workouts. The 40' 2" is a good in between difficulty level rope. But like anything else, it's not so much WHAT you use, but more of HOW you use it.

Based on my experience using the rope, I would say yes to both. Very durable. If you have the skill to criss-cross, it's a fast rope and will work.

1 1/2" X 40' is what I have. If you are a world class athlete, ultra marathoner, MMA type, you might want a 50' rope. Great addition to workout regime. 10-12 minutes gets every muscle you missed with your regular exercises, and gets you so revved up that you have energy to spare. Not sure why, but even though you are fatigued after use, you do not get tired/sleepy--maybe it's the endorphins or something, but different from every other exercise technique I've ever done.

I would get the longer one. I'm 5'6" and need every inch of the long one. You can't go shorter but you can always work with longer.

My ceilings are 12 feet - there is at least six feet more rope left fully extended. No problem.

I like a good nylon rope that is no less than 3/8" in diameter. Any smaller than that then the rope cuts into your hands when you hoist up the anchor. If you go too big of a rope then it won't fit through the anchor hole plus you waist you money. Good nylon rope is not cheap. I think 3/8" to 1/2" is fine for me.

The rope I purchased was a 20 ft. rope. It is 20 feet long and still working well.

Not this particular rope, you'll need something thicker made from manilla. If it's for lifting stuff find som3thing at a higher gauge if you need it to.lift people or animals ect find a nice synthetic.

You also have to look at how high the seat of the chair you will be sitting is. I have 32 inches of play on the rope.

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.
