Almost Two Years in and still a hit with the kids!!
I installed this zipline kit back in early July 2022, and I as well as my kids and their friends have absolutely enjoyed the snot out of this! First off, installation was a breeze. If you watch the installation video and pay special attention to the amount of sag in the line (very important if you don't want the kiddos flying off at the end), all will go well as it did for me. Once installed I swear it was like the pied piper for the neighborhood kids, as I often looked out the window to see my kids, their friends, and their friend's siblings on it taking turns and coming up with games to play on it! Durability has been excellent considering every single piece has remained outside during that time, through hot summers, rainy days and cold snowy Ohio winters. The only issue I have had only a few days ago is the stop spring finally broke, but fortunately I have a new one on the way from Hyponix for $20. For reference it is mainly 10-11 year olds and the occasional "big" kid (looking at you daddy) that use it a few times a week. Looking forward to the lasting til my youngest outgrows it!

Enjoyable but GET THE EXTRA SPRING!!
Definitely buy the extra stopping spring! (Trsmima Heavy Duty Stainless... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086GDDRL5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share based on another review)Fairly quick installment, about an hour for two adults. Very glad we listened to another review that said to buy an extra spring - kids would be running into the tree otherwise. Enjoying it so far!

Awesome Zipline! Needs an additional spring.
The media could not be loaded. Awesome product!! I highly recommend this zipline if you buy an additional stopping spring (suggested for kids, necessary for adults). It’s so amazing to be able to set up a cost effective zipline fairly easy in your own backyard. I bought the 100ft zipline and it was perfect length for me!

I installed it quickly and kids love it, but it isn't perfect out of the box...
I almost gave this 5 stars, not because it was all perfect outside the box, but because I had what I needed or bought a few easy pieces of hardware to make it perfect. Given some of the cons, I decided 4 starts was more appropriate. I would buy it again, as long as you don't mind buying a few things you need that aren't included in the box. you might spend as much money on add-ons as you spent on the kit.I previously purchased the Jugader 160 ft zip line and set it up on a 120 ft span. My review references the Jugader and compares this to that one. This one was set up on a 135 ft span. If installing on flat land, you need to know that the zip line needs an 8% fall, which means the starting point has to be very High. That seems so obvious when you think about it, but that caught us off guard.Pros:-1/4 inch line. Much heavier and better quality than the jugader, and higher weight capacity.-All hardware appears to be stainless steel. The 1/4 U bolts appear to be less than half the size of the 1/4 U Bolts at the hardware store, but they seem to work just fine. Better U bolts than what came with Jugader.-You feel safer letting the kids go on this one than the Jugader.Cons:- There was no cable gripper or come-along in the box. There's no way to install this without a way to tighten the line. Jugader had a cable gripper included, so I used that one .- The turnbuckle needed a better bolts and nuts instead of the included hardware, which I was concerned wouldn't hold up very long. I bought at hardware store.- The turnbuckle feels a little undersized, but includes a backup safety cable in case the turnbuckle fails.- The instructions weren't very good. I knew how to assemble it because I recently assembled the Jugader one, so it didn't bother me. I'm glad I didn't need to rely on the instructions, though.- The trolley isn't removable from the line on this one. On the Jugader, you can remove the trolley when you are done, which keeps kids off the line and keeps the trolley indoors when not in use. I used the trolley that came with the jugader one. it would really stink to get the whole thing assembled and then realize the trolley has to be installed on the line before you tighten it.- the plastic seat was better on the jugader. we used that one along with the jugader trolley.- Both Jugader and this one have a very bad backup harness.- It says 150 feet. I don't think there's any way it will cover a 150 ft span. My span was about 135 feet and I don't think there was enough line left over for it to cover another 15 feet. I just had a few extra feet left over.Recommendations and other thoughts:- Over 130 feet, my zip line start 17 feet high. If my kid falls off the seat, I don't want a belt jerking their hips, stomach, back, or rib cage. Invest in a real climbing or safety harness!- you'll need a friend to help install, and a come along or cable gripper and strap to tighten.- Buy a better trolley that you can remove from the line easily.- This is really designed for kids. there will be a lot of sag, even if you tighten it up to where it is straight. Just because you are under the weight limit doesn't mean it will work as good for the grown ups. This is great for kids to use, but once you get over 120 lbs or so there's going to be a lot of sag and you'll probably drag the ground even if the finish point is 6 or 7 ft high.- I built a wood platform about 10 ft off the ground using 4x4 posts for better access to the starting point. think about how kids are going to get to the top, especially if the ground is flat and the starting point is 17 feet high.

Company cares
I bought this in January and opened the box in May. Some of the line was frayed. I contacted the company and told them I thought I could just snip with wire cutters and maybe tape. They said NO and quickly shipped me replacement line.It’s fun for the whole family, especially myself! I bought some additions which I think are essential. I don’t like the trolly that came in kit. It’s fixed to line and there are safety reasons for wanting to remove trolly when not in use. I added a removable trolley and handlebar. A lot of fun if you have the space.It’s not easy for one person to assemble and will take you several hours at least. But I did it myself and 2 people would be better. Even the YouTube videos don’t show an easy assembly. But if you’re patient it will come together.

Well put-together kit
The kit is well put together and the quality of the equipment used seems to be very good. I am happy with the purchase of this kit. The only thing is that they should list the assembly requirements (size and height of tree(s) needed and so forth) so that consumers can make an informed decision. The trees that I had initially intended to use do not meet the requirements they suggested.

NOT SAFE! Pls read!!!!!!!
Not safe at described! I bought a 200ft long zip line and the string that "stops" is too weak the end of the ride shaked my 8 year old so hard that the cable almost ripped his ear off, then my brother 16 y/o tried and he fell and got his clavicle broken BROKEN !!! Hes back had multiples "copresion fractures" cuz when it stopped he flew away like cartoons ..... now I have to buy a bungee brake to stop it and make the landing not that horrible and traumatic that cost another 200 bucks, plus all the experience in the ER and therapists sessions!!! carefully you all.Oh and the blue seat got broken in half!
