lowering rope ?

[White Noise]

Anybody off here use that 16mm polysteel rope off the flea bay . Its mainly used for anchoring lines and the like as its rated at 5 tons . Ive checked over at tree world and some guys are using it for securing the flying capstan to the tree. Any feedback would be good cheers . Its for the old poplar takedown I mentioned a few months ago which is situated in a water flooded field

I have been using 12mm Marlow anchor rope for 10+ years. It is cheep, the last one cost £45, and it is slightly streechy, so it produces less shake and wibble wobble when snatching. Can not fault it.

Go for it

I've used polysteel for the last couple of years. It's good strong 3ply if you want to dismantle without the gagetry. drop it over a couple of strong high folks, wrap it round the trunk if you need extra friction and it will do the job.

Sounds good so far . Has it got any stretch ? What size are you using ?

[Wolfie]

Not really. I think i'm using 20mm.

That's all I used for years does the trick mate. Do you have a link? might get some. It's good for pulling stems over with van etc stuff you wouldn't wanna use your expensive ropes for:biggrin:

Sorry Lorry no link . Although one of the ebay sellers is listed as tyne and wear 16mm x 50m long is £ 47 Breaking strain of 5.45 ton sounds ok .

 

would you go for a fatter one

[Lorry thompson]

That sounds canny enough with that stuff I like the 20mm stuff mate the 16mm is probably strong enough it's just that's what I'm used to so I'd have peace of mind:thumbup1:
