When choosing the right zip line kit you must consider what you will be using it for. Of course you're going to be riding it but in what conditions? Are you putting it over top of a lake? Is it for kids? Is it going to be strung up higher so you will need a platform and ladder to access it? Some people don't have the perfect sloping backyards and they WILL have to build a platform. Sometimes this is more fun because it creates anticipation as you climb to the top and have to release your body from the stand. I remember I went on a zip line in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and the platform was probably about 100 feet up off the ground, meanwhile the zip line was probably 500 feet. I'm not even going to lie, it was scary- but i LOVED it. My son also when on it and thought it was one of the best times of his life. So even if you have to build a platform, don't be discouraged. If you do have the perfect sloping backyard you'll need to decided how long you want your backyard zip line. Many people choose the 200 foot zip lines just because they are pretty much the maximum amount of cable that one can fit in a standard backyard. Also, the longer the more fun! If you have smaller kids the 75 foot zip lines are good because you don't want your 4 year old flying down a 200 foot zip line. That's scary, unless per say they are a daredevil. So in a nutshell you have to decide exactly what type of property will be accommodating the zip line, as well as how long you want it. Hope this helped!
