ProudGrandma Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 We bought this for our kids this summer, with the intent to put it between 2 very large maple trees in our yard, but now I am wondering whether or not it will danage the trees over time. I thought maybe about putting some sort of rubber protecting thing around the line part that goes around the tree...what do you think...will that work...or am I worried for nothing. When I say large trees, I mean VERY large...like 2 feet in diameter, large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarleneW Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 We know a family that has had one for years and the trees are still fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 We have gone through more than one zip line and they have never damaged the trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdogs29906 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 We wrapped our line in a bicycle tire at the point it went around the tree. We have a bit of damage to our trees ~ but they are Sweetgum trees... not exactly the strongest trees around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
