I will be using this rope in my basement area which limits me to 15ft rope. Which rope would you suggest 1.5" or 2"?

Fifteen is kind of short. For me I'd definitely go with the heavier (usually thicker) rope.

Unless you have ReallyBigHands or are a very accomplished athlete ( w really good grip. ) the 1.5's would work better for you.

Hi, I would use a 2" rope. The reason The 2" rope is heavyer than the 1.5" rope. You will get a better workout.

The limitation of 15ft will not affect whether 1.5" or 2" is right for you. The only consideration is circumference to hand size and weight to length. It is difficult for an average sized, athletic man to climb 2" rope because the circumference makes grip strength a challenge.Most intermediate to advanced athletes would still climb 1.75". 1.5" is good for beginners. If you are only doing battle ropes with this, the added diameter adds additional weight over a given distance, making larger rope more challenging for the grip, as well as all other muscles involved. If you will be tugging (e.g. tug of war, sled pulling), the grip is, again the key factor. I suggest a demo, go get your hands on it. Or, failing that, roll a sheet of paper to a 1.5" and 2" diameter and see how your hand gets around it. For most 1.5"=beginner, 1.75"=intermediate, 2"= advanced... don't forget to purchase a length just over double the distance you plan to battle so you have enough...

I have a 40m rope and their is all kinds of room in it. But it is a 8.4mm. I have bigger ropes in the 10. mm range that should have no problem - in the 40m to 60m range.

2inch fits just fine. I have 4 battle ropes 2inch dia. in my fitness studio.

It is a fairly static rope with about a 2% stretch or so at the most. 2 feet will stretch about half to 3/4 of an inch when pulled hard. I don't know if it would stretch more with continues load but I don't think so

Pay attention to tensile strength and working load the working load of a rope is usually 1/5 the breaking strength so if a rope has a breaking strength of 1500 pounds you can safely use it for something around 500 pounds. like two or three pre-teen kids and a big tire.So if you get a 1000 pound test rope you have to remember if you weigh 200 pounds once you use the rope as a pendulum you weigh more than 200 pounds when you swing. so get one that's at least a 1200 pound rope.

I have used this type of rope for climbing. I bought some grip tape an wrapped it at intervals the length of the climb. It worked fine. 1.5in dia. is the most common for climbing.

I have 2 of these pulleys and I use 3/8" rope and it works fine. Not sure how 1/2" would work, though. There doesn't seem to be much room when I am using 3/8".

Best I can tell is 1 inch is about it. But like the other responder said, wrap a piece of chain around your 2 inch bar and hang the hook on that. The hoist is a good product for the money. I like mine. I use it for lifting 55 gal water barrels off the back of my truck.

The directions say 32". (FYI, narrower gets you more inherent instability to stabilize in your exercise; wider gets you good burn in the chest for pec flyes, etc.) So considering that you'll be stuck with one distance, I'd go with Lifeline's suggested 32", which is TWO standard wall or ceiling beam distances part. That's the distance I just used in my basement and it works very well.

If you're using that many then yes 3/8 rope will be fine. 2 or less you'd want bigger size

Many sizes are available, and what you plan on doing with your rope has a lot to do with it. Most standard rope movements for a beginner could be done with plenty of intensity with a 30ft long 1 & 1/2 inch rope. Intermediate and a good rope to have is a 40 ft. long 1 & 1/2 inch. 2 in. diameter ropes are for those with some established rope training and are heavier causing more intensity during workout.

Good afternoon, SopranoGI. The overall length of the rope is 83.5". Additional rope will need to be purchased. Thank you, Sarah | HearthSong Customer Service

The one I received is 2.03" for the rigid body length The bend radius of the cable is approximately 1 inch. The OD of the rigid section measured 0.396.I have run my through 2 inch PVC with 90 degree fittings but have not tried 1.5 inch.

the clip from inside spring to the pin to hold at the bottom is just under 1 3/4" so a 1 1/2 inch would be best but it stays on a wider belt pretty well even if it doesn't hook over the bottom edge of the belt. Fishing on the lake with a 2" belt, maybe better not try that....

My local codes were OK with 2" but if you have special area requirements yours may differ - such as in areas prone to high winds or costal areas with possible hurricanes. I like the 2" over 2-1/2" as they penetrate sufficiently to hold like crazy yet won't overpenetrate into wiring or other obstructions. If you have thick sheathing (my t-111 is my shear) then I would go with 2-1/2.

16 feet x 10 feetYour biggest problem is if it's too big if it's not big enough you can always use turnbuckles an extra length of rope to make it longer
