yoeddynz Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 There are some massive pines that line up perfectly for a flying fox! (Or zip wire as hannah the pom calls them) So does anyone have access to cheap steel wire?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelies Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 watch out, most home made flying foxes only need two trees in a line.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Could cut a rather large hole through each tree that is in the way with a massive holesaw then run flying fox wire through them. Would make for exciting ride (trip..) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLIZZO Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 As rookie said go hit up a local forestry contractor (hauler not groundbased), try nig bryant or the bloke something fraser from fraser logging. When their working ropes get a bit worn they replace them and the old ropes cant even be scrapped usually as the guillotines wont cut them and compactors cant scrunch them into balls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakesae101 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 or a lift company also usually just donate them to whoever as blake said they cant scrap them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I went on a DIY flying fox setup in Thailand, was cool, they must have bought a huge roll or something as it was one continuous cable with about 5 different sections running between platforms built into the trees. There was no runout area, just wore a leather welding type glove that you trailed behind you on the cable to slow you down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post yoeddynz Posted September 19, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2014 Tis some bloody good ideas above - cheers all. I will certainly go about asking for steel wire when time comes. Must line up and keep two appropriate trees intact! KK- here is a picture I drew a few months ago for Hannah's nana in the UK. Doesn't show the whole lot but gives you an idea of what we want to do. Shed to be ordered is now going to be 7.7 wide by 15 long and 4.5 high with a mezzanine down one side. I cant wait! 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Oh hell yeah.. I want at the very least an oldschool style library upstairs with old Haynes manuals plus other technical books (not really enough time for fiction..) and I want to build one of those steel ladders on rollers to scoot along and get a book from up high. Then I can do this..https://youtu.be/By5eEi8T5kU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
