The idea of a zip-line in your backyard may seem daunting at first, what with calculating the slope and sag, as well as the height requirements, and if your home can even accommodate a backyard zip-line kit or not. But there are some basics to help you install a zip line design safely and reliably, which will satisfy your entire family for years to come. So while installing any zip-lining Los Angeles, first check for the location. The ideal part of your property should have two trees that have a direct path toward each other.

And while the trees can be chosen by their distance, they also need to have strength in them to endure up to 3,000 pounds of horizontal force to be exact. So your trees should not be old or rotten, have cracks or loose roots, and most of all, both trees must have at least 12-inch diameters around their trunk. Another thing while installing any zip-lining Los Angeles is that there are height restrictions of about 7ft clearance around the zip line. This area should be free from branches, rocks, or any other obstacles.
