[@quill6211]

Finally a manila rope video that shows the size and explains what size should be used per your application. Appreciate it!

[@tim7even]

Finally someone made a good video for this project. Thanks 👍

[@RightRopeOfficial]

Glad it was helpful!

[@meeshlog1318]

Great, detailed video covering lots of info! I especially appreciate you including the measuring tips and which screws and tools to use. Thank you!

[@webslingernz]

This is how a "HOW-TO" vide should be! Well dome Sir.

[@MrLucidjake]

This is excellent. Simple and clearly demonstrated examples that are doable for novices like. Thanks a lot and I look forward to more content.

Glad it was helpful!

I understand you guys are promoting your product, but your videos are highly underrated. You are talking about one of the most essential products ever used and needed by man. Cordage and rope was a mainstay of prehistoric humans and its use is still necessary in the modern era. Practicing knots with a rope is a form of meditation for the wise.

[@RightRopeOfficial]

Thanks! We share your appreciation for rope!

[@Chebva]

@@RightRopeOfficial Thank you for your response. I took knot and splice classes in college. It's a skill I always appreciate. I subbed and will watch your videos.

[@RightRopeOfficial]

That's awesome! Never knew such classes exist. We are looking for another splicing technician to bring on staff, and that skill is hard to come by. Thanks for your support!

[@danb821]

Thank you for putting out such a high quality instructional video! Gives me more confidence ordering through you once I’m ready to start my project.

[@RightRopeOfficial]

Glad it was helpful! You can do it!

[@dreamcatcherdb]

You just earned yourself a customer. Fantastic video. Excellent website. Great selection of products. Reasonable prices. Even happens to be a fellow Michigander ta boot. I’m smitten! Will be ordering soon.

[@RightRopeOfficial]

Awesome, thanks!

[@delphinemcnielwilson]

This is a very good idea for our deck. I’ll show my husband. Good job

[@rosedunham9323]

Excellent instruction! I like the transcript too!

[@chasemacinnis6526]

This video nailed everything I was wanting to know. Quality

[@newhollywood5stars166]

THANK YOU SO INFORMATIONAL I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS...

[@chrisprosonic2159]

I know it is personal preference but I like the look in the video. What is the recommended post spacing and how should each rope be.

[@shirleyoxford6451]

Love the video! Very informative.😃

[@KaylamalonegarzaBlountCoTN]

This was very descriptive and informative! Thank you sir! ❤I reallllly think I could do this myself… I’m wanting to do about 200 yards on each side of our walkway .. and attach some lights to the top of post or maybe zigzag some string lights .. or both 😅 depending on our budget 😂 might have to hit up our local cotton mill to see if I could get some rope from them cheap

[@carlspackler91]

Thanx for the tips!

[@RightRopeOfficial]

No problem!

[@amarko87]

I've been trying to find a better way to make a portion of my planned rope railing 'removable' so I can take a section off when the dock goes in in the summer. Do you have any ideas for something like this? The current look will be square posts drilled straight through, with 3/2" manilla rope.

[@RightRopeOfficial]

We have seen people put an eye splice on the ends of a rope and put the loops over the top of the posts. Also some people use hardware to hang the rope in place, or install hooks on the ends like in theater crowd control.

[@amarko87]

@@RightRopeOfficial I was thinking that a splice could work for the top rope, but since it's also going into a corner, the bottom will have to be done differently, as an eye splice won't be able to go over the other. Thanks for the ideas!

[@paulagibilisco992]

Thanks! Very helpful for my rope and post project!

[@RightRopeOfficial]

Glad to hear it!

[@MC-ww4ol]

What is the size of the square post shown? What size rope do you recommend for a 4x4 square corner fence? Thanks very much!

[@MC-ww4ol]

Just rewatched and see you answered this in the beginning. Apologies and thank you for a great video! Looking forward to working with you guys.

[@Dfig84]

How far do you recommend the post spacing and height of rope off ground for top rope, on average.

[@RightRopeOfficial]

Hi Dan, the spacing and rope height is all about what looks good to you. The posts in this video were about 7 feet apart and the holes were drilled about 42 and 21 inches above the ground.

[@eswifttt]

Great question! Just what I was looking for

[@gayalivingston9032]

Hi, is there a video on how to secure those posts to ground.. trying to use it to divide a concrete driveway , neighbors and ours. Wants to keep the pole looking clean because I can't put anything on the ground to hide the bottom of the poles. Thanks

[@RightRopeOfficial]

We don't know of such a video, unfortunately.

[@metelskiy]

I think you can use concrete mix from Home Depot just as they use for fence posts

[@gfunk5261]

Thank you for this very detailed video, it gives me hope being able to tackle my project to install stair railings with ropes. Just let me ask you a question when you don't mind. ...How do you drill the holes into the post for stair railing for the ropes? Horizontal or in an angle? Thank you again. G

[@RightRopeOfficial]

Great question. It is definitely easier to drill square through the post instead of at the angle and it will look good either way. If you are pulling the rope tight, the angle looks better, but if you are allowing some sag in between posts, drilling square looks good.

[@gfunk5261]

@@RightRopeOfficial Good morning, and thank you so much for the quick response and your professional opinion, highly valued. 👍

[@toddott633]

For a 1 1/2 inch cotton rope would I use a 1 1/2 inch bracket? The rope fits in a 1 3/8 hole and probably a 1 1/4. should I still get 1 1/2 bracket of 1 1/4?

[@RightRopeOfficial]

If you got the 1 1/2 inch rope from us, I would purchase the 1 1/2 bracket!:)

[@RightRopeOfficial]

If you got the rope elsewhere it might be harder to tell.

[@toddott633]

@@RightRopeOfficial It is pretty snug in an 1 3/8 test hole, but I think I can fit it in a 1 1/4. Thank you.

[@RightRopeOfficial]

@@toddott633I don’t recommend a 1 1/4 bracket for that, I recommend calling our warehouse and they can give you expert advice : 616 577 5105

[@toddott633]

I have an 1 1/2 cotton rope and want to end the rope inside the post. Cotton doesn't melt, so how would I do this?

[@RightRopeOfficial]

I highly recommend an end bracket for that! rightrope.com/product/rope-brackets/

[@toddott633]

@@RightRopeOfficial Do I do anything with the end of the rope, or just screw in the bracket and insert screw? How well do they hold? Do I buy the same diameter bracket as the rope diameter? I live in Grand Rapids. Does it have to ship or can I pick it up?

[@RightRopeOfficial]

@@toddott633we are quite a bit outside of Grand Rapids, so I recommend shipping! And the bracket just needs the rope to be placed inside, and then the screw to be screwed into the rope. It should hold well :)

[@toddott633]

@@RightRopeOfficial So, for a 1 1/2 in cotton rope would I use the 1 1/2 bracket?

[@patrickbanker9046]

What do I do when it rains and my rope gets super tight and pulls my post out of plumb.

[@RightRopeOfficial]

If you are using natural fiber rope, you need to add 10-15% extra length/sag so that it doesn't happen. If it is too late for that, meaning this is actually already happening to you because the rope is too short, there isn't much you can do about it unfortunately. We recommend using the synthetic ropes for this reason.
