Turnbuckle eye and Jaw (sold individually)

A turnbuckle is installed on the lower end of the zip line, the end opposite the come along (ratchet) and sling. The turnbuckle is hooked up to the zip line cable in it's fully extended state. The zip line cable is then attached to the high tree on the other end and the cable is tightened down with the come along. The cable is then secured to the high tree with cable clamps in rows of three. Once the high end is secured, now it's time to tighten down on the turnbuckle. The turnbuckle is twisted until the zip line cable has reached an ideal tension. Once the installer is satisfied with the zip line installation, the turnbuckle is left as it is at that specific tightness. The turnbuckle remains hooked up to the zip line kit, while the come along and nylon sling are taken down once the initial installation has been completed. Turnbuckles are an integral part of zip line kit installation, and really come in handy in tight spots and short runs under 150' where come alongs aren't necessary, but where getting the cable to a proper tension is required.
