Title: ? on tree tie outs Post by: make-em-squeel on May 14, 2020, 04:28:01 pm I am trying to purchase (not sure the name) the set up where a cable goes bw two trees, with a stopper on each end, to prevent the smaller cable thats on the dog attatched to the long cable stopping the dog from getting tangled around the tree.
Any advice is much appreciated on how to buy this set up. kind of like a tie out/dog run Title: Re: ? on tree tie outs Post by: Semmes on May 14, 2020, 06:41:23 pm Cheaper and better quality to buy components for a ‘cable run’ separately at a big box store like Lowe’s or homedepot than buying them specifically in a kit geared toward the application. All you need is the legnth of cable and gauge you feel apportioned for the dog. Two crips one for each end at the trees. And a pulley to run on the cable size you buy. I have attached a chain on a swivels to the pulley that is long enough for them to run and get in house and put a crip far enough from the trees so the chain will
Not be able to wrap around it Title: Re: ? on tree tie outs Post by: Semmes on May 14, 2020, 06:46:38 pm Buy four crimps. Use one in each end for cable to cable around tree. Get it good and tight with four wheeler or come along. And use the other two crimps to stop pulley at desired distance from tree dependent on liter chain legnth

I tore them suckers out.

They are high enough that the chains don't drag and mound up all the dirt down the center of the run and low enough that I can step over them and mow under them.
