Are the 16ft ropes long enough for double-dutch?

I gave them to my granddaughter and then didn't get to see what she thought. When I looked at them, I thought that they would be good for one person to jump into, not two. They seem to be of good quality.

The product description states each of the polypropylene lashing cables are 10 feet long. Actually, mine measured out at 9' 10" each. About ten feet SOUNDS like plenty, but when you realize that to hang the hammock you will need to double the rope in half and then knot it several times along it's length, you aren't going to have any too much, for sure. 14'-16' per rope would have been much more versatile and user-friendly.

It will depend on the length of the ropes that you used to hang the swing. We have 6 ft in front of the swing and 6 ft in back. With 3 ft on either side.

No they will not. Rope diameter is to large to allow travel though the holes

Yes. These ropes are actually the ones that I have used at my local gym. They are very durable but not super heavy. The handles are comfortable if you're using it for longer periods of time. Sometimes I use jump roping as my cardio work out for the day and jump up to 10 minutes at a time with no problems. I took them wrapped up out of the package and they "unkinked" in a day or two. I have had them and used them outdoors for about two months now and they have not worn at all. I would recommend these to anyone.

I got the longer one because (1) my grandchildren are between 12 and 16 years old. So thought if they liked it the 25 foot would be better. However, their father has yet to put the cable (or rope) for them to grab if they lose their balance. Since that has not been done I don't believe they are deriving the fun they would have had had the rope/cable been put up. In retrospect maybe I waited to long to get it. Having said that, I felt like if they liked it and used it a lot certainly the longer would be better. I'm just not sure this answer will help you.

¼ to ⅜ inch should work fine...but it might be difficult getting the proper tension with rope over cable...

Yes. You must consider most importantly the length of the run. I usually only run a max of 50ft for 16G and use heavier wire (14-12G) for runs of 100ft or more.

The Velcro Straps are 12" long, but you have to consider the overlap to secure them together... So, is around 16" or so long enough ?

I bought 2 of the two pack and the rope is plenty long even for a 15 feet ceiling. I have 11ft ceiling and when I bring the hooks down to attach to the bikes my rope are dragging on floor by a few feets so if you have 15 ft ceiling you will have enough rope.

To agree with the other comments, you will only need just a tad bit more room. You will be swinging a jump rope and in a couple of instances you will be doing broad jumps.

One rope, 2 plastic ends, 1.5 inch by 40 feet long. If you need two 40 foot lengths, you would need to order 2 ropes.

Actually it is. Since the rope was built for speed and its very lightweight I think you can do singles or double unders without a problem. Don't settle for just one trick, I'd recomend you try at least a few tricks because you would probably get bored doing the same thing even though you'll get better each time.

The rope I purchased was a 20 ft. rope. It is 20 feet long and still working well.

That's true but the ropes are pretty long and unless the swing set was way above the ground, it would not work too well. Ours is in a tree and the grandkids were thrilled with it when they came for Thanksgiving and gave it a great workout...very sturdily made.

I honestly don't recall how long the provided rope was because I replaced it with a stronger, smaller diameter rope immediately, which permitted me to use a 16 ft rope.

At both the houses that I've installed these, I've had to cut the ropes because they were way too long. I think that even with 15-ft ceilings you'll have plenty of rope to hang them. You can always buy longer pieces of nylon rope to use with it, since hooking them up is part of the installation anyway, but I think the included ones will be long enough.
