Q: What length of zip wire do I need? 
 

A: Firstly measure the distance between your two anchor points then add a further 3-5 meters to ensure you have enough cable to wrap around your second anchor point. So for example, if you had a 25 meter run, you would be best purchasing a 30 meter zip wire kit. 

 

Q: What's the best angle for a zip wire? 

 

A: For an average speed ride, you should be looking to achieve a 3-4 meter drop based on an average 50 metre kit installed on flat terrain.
