Are the ropes permanently affixed or can they be changed out with real chain or a velvet rope? What sort of fittings connect the rope to the post?

You can use real chain or velvet ropes. I strongly recommend you use sand in lieu of water in the bases. You can purchase hooks at any hardware store or home center for the chain or velvet ropes.

The ropes are plastic accordion chains. They expand to the length you want and can be removed from the posts. Yes you can exchange them for another type of rope. They have a plastic thing around the post where you can clip the accordion chain to. The base/posts are plastic and they have to be filled with water or sand to hold them down.

The ropes can come off. They are an accordion style plastic. They work, but you could definitely make it look nicer with some sort of chain or velvet. You just need to be sure to fill the bottom of the posts with sand.

The ropes are separate and are attached with a brass hook to the plastic brass looking loop on the pole. Could be switched to something else. I'm not sure if you could take the hook off the plastic rope but I'll bet you could.to the pole plastic brass-looking hook. we have had water in our stands for over a year with no problem and they are easy for us old ladies to move inside our museum. sand would be better outside.

The are not attached permently. They slide on. No clips. You can use any other kind of rope, you'd have to tie it on though. It's hard to describe how it attaches.

They ate removable but I bought them for my grandkids. I did not see the details of what van hook to them.

Each of the ribbon posts have a large lip on the end of them. You do not need that lip, so I suggest that you cut off that lip, and the spool will come right off of the post.

Gibbon slack lines only need to solid posts preferably trees. The Gibbon I own now is my second slack line and works great. It has a little ware on it but ratchets are hard on slack lines, but there by far the most hassle free set up and take down and when it only costs about 100.00 you can afford to replace it in 5 years or so if you need too.

I agree with the others about setting posts further than the 12ft. I have chains attached to the house, about 1ft and then my posts are 14ft from the house also with some short chains. Rope is included with the shade to adjust to the correct distance, so my thoughts would be 14-15ft.

Nope, this is your basic replacement net, not the posts. Its only accessories are the cord and 2 dowels to attach it to your existing posts.

I had no problem replacing the quick release post on my old saddle to the new saddle. You will need a couple adjustable wrenches. If you are having a problem with the quick release post you will need to get one of those also since it does not come with this saddle.

Hello Merry and thank you for your interest in our product. We carry brass posts not gold, and these ropes (post and rope type) range from 6 to 6 1/2 feet only. Also the shortest post (post and rope type) is 34 1/2 inches. I do apologize for any inconvenience and as always do feel free to contact me for further assistance. Thanks again Andrea

I used nails. Tacked the top rope and then wrapped it tightly around the post. It was a two person operation for us. Wear gloves and in a garage or some place like that.

I was trying to pull some u post with rope using the hook but the rope kept stretching. I think if you can make an attachment point on the rebar and use chain it might work.

The metal ring is pushed back on the rope to adjust length. I'm not sure if the seller will provide.

Yes, there is a little wider spot in the rope that holds them in place, but they can be moved off the spot. (I know this because a little boy did it in my pool last week).

I don't know if they are permanent because I didn't use the hooks. I hung the mirror (using string) from one of the rings that holds my shower curtain. It gives me better control of placement.

I didn't use posts. I mounted a bracket to my house and used 3 trees. The ropes to the trees are about 15 feet long.

I have given 2 of these as gifts and have kept one for myself. The ropes are good on all. Even so, I just checked mine and the rope is attached by a heavy duty staple on the under side of the above platform.

Yes; This net is intended to be used in a permanent set-up, with a pole that has 1 fixed attachment point (for the bottom cable) & a pulley at the top & a ratchet about halfway down (for tightening the top cable). The other pole would have fixed attachment points for both top & bottom cables.If you want a portable set-up, then this net can be converted. I did it using 1 ½" electrical conduit for the poles; ¼" nylon rope for 8 stays (2 each, at top & bottom cable attachment points, on each pole); homemade wood tensioners; heavy metal stakes; eyebolts & snap hooks for quick net attachment; & a cable clamp (to form a new attachment loop at 1 end of the top cable to match the length of the bottom cable).

The 'top' of the post swivels up and down the pole depending on who is hitting the ball. There is no adjustment to be made. Just fill the bottom with sand or water, water being my preference as the bottom is also the storage 'box' when you put it away. All you have to do is put the pole together and fit it into the filled base. The rest is up to the players as to the ball wrapping up or down. Remember that a replacement rope and ball can be purchased after the kids wear the original out.

You may have to add rope to each corner as there is not enough to make the 20' length. The 10 foot dimension may make for a droop in the shade between the post. I am very happy with my shade!!
