Backyard Ziplines

Backyard ziplines: does anybody have one? Let's see some pics. Looking to build one myself and need some inspiration.

 

sub'd.

 

Yep, Victory Pond.

 

Most def. When I hit that sucker one February there was a nice skim of ice on the pond. Was still fun as hell!

 

Sadly I no longer have pictures, but we use to have one set up off the top of a 20 ft cliff. It ran over a small river. We used an old ski rope handle pulley and large steel cable. We alson had a small rope that you had to ball up in your hand when you went down the zip line. Rope was long enough to reach the water to pull the zip line back. As long as you were careful not to get the rope tangle around you there were no problems. Hope you get your zip line built they are lots of fun.

 

I've got several trees picked out, just need to do more research on buying the right zip line kit, then build platforms, etc. I got to make sure whatever I go with is going to be safe for the kids.
