Ridge? Monty? Steve? Anybody want to run it by their husband? Anybody else with a mechanical type mind?
So we're building a playscape in the spring for our kids. So this lead this lead me to want to build a small zip line for the kids to play on too. I'm looking at 20-30' long using aircraft cable with a trapeze that is connected to a proper zip line pulley.
I found 6"x6"x12' posts that I was going to use. My question is...will those be strong enough? I was going to run eye bolts through it with large washers and connect the cable to that.
Posts would be sunk into the ground at 36" and the eyebolt would be at 8' high. I had planned on building a short ladder with 2x4s to climb up, grab on and down the line you go. Incline wouldn't be too crazy but enough to let gravity work.
Was pricing the stuff out online it wouldn't be bad to build and I know the kids would have a blast with it.
Anything to keep them busy especially with another one on the way!!!
I really appreciate your help on this.
