Installing a 240' Backyard Zip Line video
Zipline Installation with video movie....The zip line rides begin! Checkout the zip line videos below.
Installing a zipline is not hard but, it does take some planning and time. Ordering a zip line kit was the easiest way for me to receive everything needed for installing a basic zip line. I ordered the 250' Quicksilver kit  from ziplinegear.com. I would suggest getting a bungee brake for your zipline. Mine works awesome. after I got the land cleared, I marked a point on the beginning tree approximately 12' off the ground. I then used an inexpensive site level to find the level point on the tree where the zip line would finish. There was a drop of  7 foot in elevation between the two trees. So I raised the point on the start tree another 3 foot so the zipline would have a 10 total drop from beginning to end...

I ordered the come-a-long with a cable puller from ziplinegear.com. It was truly a time saver. There is no way I could have pulled a 5/16' cable up above the ground 240' without it. They charge $150 for it but, if you return it they credit back approximately $125...I kept mine.
