We’ve had rope on here before but it would always get loose and fray, I also always wanted to mes with rigging so decided its the perfect excuse to buy a crimper.
Drilled holes into the pipes to put the eyelets. Got two cables up for now, at least the hard part is done, running the cable and crimping isn’t so bad. The drilling and stuff was the hard part
a crimper can also be used to make DIY cable exercise equipment!
also, you may want to set up impending precipitation and/or extreme wind alerts for your phone :)
Haha I’m not sure I’d trust my crimps just yet for heavy lifting, or this cheap amazon cable.
Yeah like today was sunny but by the time I finished it was overcast, very bizarre. We are generally sunny most of the year so its only the wind. Another thing I bought with this stuff was some nice metal clothes pins so hopefully they are much better than what I’ve used in the past
My mental alarm is going off, but maybe unnecessarily. Please make sure they’re sealed and regularly check that there are no chips in the coating, because any iron in them is going to rust when regularly exposed to brief periods of moisture and leave stains on your laundry. If they’re coated in aluminum, they should be fine. If they’re entirely aluminum, I’d worry about their strength for things like duvets, but for regular clothing and linens in mild wind, they should be fine.
