    Rigging Rope

    Thanks Evan for your interest, Pretty bad form the way your comment was handled. I called my arborist supplier and asked, could you tell me the difference between the Buckingham portawrap 111 large and the Sherrill Tree 1V portawrap, he said that the Sherrill Tree portawrap is just an...

    Rigging Rope

    Dead Eye Sling

    This method is ok maybe if you had a short sling and you were stuck, I always come prepared with many slings of different lengths and diameters, I have been using the tried and tested Cow Hitch for years, it has never let me down. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Looks like a very...

    gonna get a rope wrench but i have questions!

    Thanks Tim for your speedy response, just viewed your link, rc2000 looks to be a superb piece of kit. My largest diameter rigging line that I use is 16m ( 5/8 ) so this is perfect. The bollard is 76mm ( 3in. ) , therefore Reg Coates recommends 16mm maximum rope diameter, ideal bend radius. The...
