Standard Zip Wire Installation

As you can imagine, a standard home zip wire is a much more reasonable choice for children to use with minimal supervision. We always recommend the use of helmets, harnesses and adult supervision when zip wiring. But we know, in reality, this isn’t always going to happen because it’s up to each property owner to enforce. So for most zip wire projects, it’s usually a good idea to keep the ride to reasonable speeds, at reasonable heights above the ground at the start and finish, and to make it as easy as possible for zip wire riders to hold on by using appropriate zip wire accessories such as handles and seats. Most standard zip lines are about 20m to 80m long and have weight ratings up to 120 Kgs (17.5 Stones approx). These zip wire rides typically cost approx £2000+ (excluding take off and landing platforms), depending on specification and your location. Another factor in the price is the kind of launching platform needed – sometimes you can start the zip wire ride from the ground, and other times a platform must be built in the trees with a ladder attached.

A ballpark figure for example a 20m tree to tree with 1.5m x 1.5m take off platform 2m high, installed within 50 miles of Lymington, Hampshire will be £4200 plus VAT. This price is only an indication, other cost factors may apply.

Intermediate Zip Wire

For more serious zip wire experiences, we can install a zip wire that moves at faster speeds, are higher above the ground, and/or are in the range of 50-150m long. Extra precautions are taken to ensure safety, and harnesses and helmets are strongly recommended. We will teach you about every piece of equipment and how to safely ride and facilitate your guests on your zip wire. Along with a zip wire ride comes a level of responsibility: to either inspect and maintain the zip wire yourself, or to hire us or another reputable zip wire company to inspect and maintain the project on a regular basis. They are a lot of fun, but can also be dangerous and therefore deserve respect.

A ball park figure for example a 100m tree to tree with 1.5m x 1.5m take off platform 2m high, installed within 50 miles of Lymington, Hampshire will be £6470 plus VAT. This price is only an indication, other cost factors may apply.

Advanced Zip Wire

If an intermediate zip wire isn’t enough for you, then we need to make sure that you have tall & strong trees, the right environment and topography, and the right budget for this type of project. The most serious zip wires are primarily the domain of commercial operations such as adventure parks and tree top tours 200M+ in length.
