Thread: Ground Cable/Zip Line

    you can't use trolleys on a ground run. the trolleys have to be higher than the dog for the wheel to stay aligned on the cable. you will have to use something else probably.

    i don't nor do i condone it. But i meet a guy along time ago that bent rebar into to a little bit wider then a u shape and put a o ring in the middle and beat both sides into the ground and left just enough up just for the o ring to slide one enough rebar for the dog to run his circle. This was some years ago. They have yet to fail him. And he has had some BULLDOGS on it before. Like i said i don't recommend it or do I do it. But i have seen it done with success. BTW they were the inch round rebars and pretty deep in the ground as well.

    if on the ground the cable has to be low enough so the ground moves the chain, or the O rings off the same spot. If it runs on the same spot it will cut the link in half or wear the cable down, which ever gives up first. EWO

    You just need to smash the car axle shafts into the dirt. When the cable is strung, it will be pulled tight with a truck, and then the last axle shaft pounded while it is under some tension. You don't want a bunch of sag in the cable.
