If two ropes are joined together do you need to use the "extension cord" between them or do they just fit together neatly?

Hey Angry... They connect to one another with the goofy and cumbersome round plug that is built in. It works fine as long as you don't mind looking at the big, goofy connector. Hope this helps.

The extension cord can be removed by unscrewing it and multiple ropes (i have 6) can be chained together using a single plug extension. Hope this helps.

they fit together. No extension needed. My only regret, while I've had no issues with this product, wish I would have spent just a little bit more for the LED rope lighting.

If your rope is smaller than this, then I would say, yes, put on the thicker rope.

I don't think there is a real issue with tangling. Remember that a large part of your cords tangling is based mostly on your body movement and the way you take them off and put them back on. Taking them off and putting them is when the tangling occurs so if you are mindful of that, tangling will be minimal.

If you understand that extension cords, like other forms of wire, as well as hoses, are manufactured in "coils", and like to return to their natural state when storing you'll be OK. You just have to let them naturally coil, as you wind it up. It will involve a little twisting by you, to get the wire to neatly coil, but it's not a big deal at all.

That is a very good question which I am not qualified to answer. I plan to use a heavy duty extension cord with my unit and will have it in service for six months.I feel it should be safe if the proper guage extension cord is used and the connection is kept out of the elements.

This connects the 2 ends of the rope together and pulls it tighter than tying the two ends together with a knot.

You must un-screw the neck. The neck is what the rope is tied to,RegardsAPW

I think a better answer is is you must run electrical or electronic cables side-by-side, to keep AT LEAST one foot of separation; if you must cross one cable over another, provide as much separation as possible and always have the cables cross each other at 90 deg. angles.

i did not notice anything about not using an extension cord in the info provided with the one i bought. i have it on a heavy-duty extension cord.

Yes, I connect it to a single connection point. 4 ropes are attached to 2 rings (2 to one, 2 to the other). As long as your single connection point is big enough to accommodate both rings, it will work.

The ends of the rope are at the bottom of each side with the top having about 3 feet of rope that loops up and over the top. You could certainly cut the top of one of the ladders and knot it to the bottom of another, so long as you measure and knot equally so it hangs correctly. (And you might also take into account that the second ladder will "reduce" the weight supported by the top ladder to account for the weight of the added one.)

¼ to ⅜ inch should work fine...but it might be difficult getting the proper tension with rope over cable...

Other than the fact of already having a 10' cord, and a 20' cord, and plugging them into each other, if you needed the 30' reach, it would be better to have just one single 30' cord, and eliminating the need to plug two cords together, less chance for rain or snow to get in the plugs. Less fumbling around in the dark, trying to plug two cords together. These plugs are big and cumbersome, and if stepped upon in the dark, could easily sprain an ankle, or possibly break a leg, or cause other bodily damage.

The ropes are long, but not that long. However you could probably extend them with your own cord.

It is unclear to me whether the knot would interfere with joining sections together, otherwise you could do it, but it depends on what you want to use it for and the stresses involved. The poles weren't really designed for that length, so might be too fragile for the application.

I used a pair of wire cutters; if the ends get flat a bit, it doesn't impeed the performance of the rope at all. Once cut, you place the cap back on the end.

It is very thin cord, so a little knot isn't noticeable. I've also used a little super glue and rolled the end to a point, if I need to avoid a knot.
