Solid, high quality product. Excellent customer service.
The zip line hardware is of excellent quality, thick and sturdy steel. The trolley itself is heavy and solid with nice, high quality seeming rubber grips, and the trolley doesn't flip over even if there is no seat attached.The customer service is as good as promised - I sent them an email and they emailed me back by the next morning.It was "relatively" easy to put up. The assembly is straight forward enough. The hard part is getting the slack out of the cable, which weighs a ton. I did it by myself once, but it was quite a bit of work, loosening one U-bolt, pulling as much cable as I could, re-tightening the U-bolt, maneuvering a ladder around under the middle of the cable to lift it up, etc., to get it as tight as possible by hand, and then tightening down the top turn-buckle nearly all the way.The second time I did it (we moved from one set of trees to another), I borrowed a ratcheting tool specifically designed to pull up the slack from a friend who also has a zip line. That made it MUCH easier, although its an expensive tool that you basically are going to use once or twice. So I would recommend just trying without the ratcheting tool, but probably two people to get it as tight as possible.Ours came with a heavy plastic block attached to a thick bungee cord as the brake system. The plastic block has a hole in it through which to thread the zip line and then it slides until the bungee reaches its limit. It seemed pretty solid and worked well, but after about 8 months, the zip line started cutting the hole in the block wider. I contacted customer service, and they emailed back right away and said they'd switched to a steel spring brake system and would send me one right away. Sure enough a few days later it showed up, no fuss.The zip line is a lot of fun. It was a hit at our daughter's last birthday party and inspired some friends to get one (the friends who have the ratcheting tool). And its pretty good exercise probably - like with sledding, once the kid has ridden down, they have to run back up the hill with the trolley in tow.Grown-ups have been known to take a turn now and then as well.I highly recommend this product.

Great product for the price
I settled on this set after reading various reviews that discussed it as being of high quality and sturdy construction. After installation and 100+ trips down the zipline by the grandkids and their friends, I agree with that assessment and am really happy with the purchase.I ordered a cable that was 10 ft longer than our run required and was glad I did. It gave me the wiggle room I needed to wrap it around the end tree and then attach the cable to a nearby tree using a 2 inch tie-down strap as a come-along tool of sorts. Installation was made easier with two adults. We were able to create a loop at the end of the cable using one of the supplied cable clamps. With the loop attached to the come-along tool, we pulled the cable snug and then used the two other cable clamps to hold it in place. Then we detached the tie down device, removed the cable clamp releasing the loop we made, and installed the clamp between the other two so that all three were installed per the instructions. Once the cable was secure, the supplied turnbuckle tensioner worked great to tune the cable to our desired tension.The trolly is well built. The seat base and rope are a tad flimsy but adequate. After several runs, the kids complained that the skinny rope was hurting their groin so we added a cushion of sorts (an 8 inch piece of a foam swim noodle) and that solved the issue. Also, the cable is only 3/16 inch diameter so it's a tad more stretchy than a thicker cable would be. It's great for kids (8 - 12 year olds in my family) but an adult or older youth would probably have their feet dragging the ground when in the middle of the run.When I purchased this unit, I was content with the price. When I went to my shopping cart to check out, there was a $50 discount coupon that made the purchase a no-brainer.

This is a lot of fun
We have the 95' line and are using about 80 feet of it due to tree locations on the property. I originally set this up at a lower angle than the instructions specify. It went slow but picked up speed and the spring brake did it's job without a massive jolt. We decided to set it to the instructions and lets just say it could use another brake at this angle.....we will be adjusting it to somewhere in the middle. Installation was simple as I cheated with tightening the cable. I used some heavy equipment to take all slack out of the cable, it nearly remains straight with the kids on it. My weight will cause it to droop a bit. The tightening turnbuckle works just fine and the cable clamps all hold the cable in place. The trolley and seat are both great and are good quality. If your child doesn't have a lot of grip strength you might want a harness, this is something they could easily fall off not just at the brake but at any point. I have placed an order for a 200' cable and we are going to give that a shot to get a longer ride out of it. Overall this is a lot of fun, even for us adults!

AWESOME!
Great addition if you have the space! Installation was fairly easy...expect to need a taller ladder than you think and a partner to help. Easily supports a 3-4 year old with assistance getting on the seat and a full-grown adult riding with kids. The spring break has a bit of a swing to slow down, so give yourself a good 10-15 feet from the receiving end connection and tell the little ones to hold on tight!

Totally worth it š
The media could not be loaded. This has been an easy set up. It is only set at about 3/4 of its actual length available. I am hoping to install a metal pole to extend it to it's full capacity.

great kit just need a ratchet strap!!!
Amazing Product and loads of FUN for the kiddos! you'll need a 6ft ratchet strap to tighten the main cable line. Very straight forward install took less then 1 hour to install! again youll need to use a ratchet strap to put around the starting tree and hook it on the loop of the main cable and tighten the heck out of it! and voila your good to go!!!
