Years ago, a friend of mine built one. I don't have any
photos. Not even sure it's there any more. He was quite
concerned about safety. Had to go up a ladder to get to the
top of the zipline.

Hey all....I was at a party at a friend's house on Saturday
and they
had a zip line for their kids in the backyard. It was about
15 feet
long about 6' off the ground when not being ridden. A steel
cable and
a zip carrier for the kids to hold on it with a little 2
stair unit at
one end. I have to build one now. Anyone ever try this?
Surely the
hardest part is getting the zip line itself tight enough,
yeah. Any
tips? I have lots of trees and am thinking about doing a
really long
one, maybe 70-80 feet.

Thanks for any info....

Mike
