Set of 4 Yoga Wall Ropes

Set of 4 made to order wall ropes. Manufactured from 12mm double braid rope.

Each set consists of two ropes for wall hooks 1m from floor and two ropes for wall hooks 2m from floor.

Wall ropes help practitioners practice non weight vbearing inversions and dog pose. Also suited for use on therapeutic and restorative yoga.

Other lengths available on request.

Eye Nuts  and Lag screws are also available.

Colours: White only, white with blue fleck, white with red fleck, solid black

Allow 5-7 working days from order to dispatch.

Please consult a builder and/or engineer before fixing hooks to walls to ensure that the structure and proposed installation is capable of supporting the loads.

MADE TO ORDER

The following is offered as a guide only.

Design Loads
Anchor bolts - Minimum withdrawal load capacity of 200kg.
Anchor bolts should be steel with a minimum diameter of 12mm.
Walls - Allow 200 kg of horizontal force per rope set applied at a height of 2 metres from floor.

Location of anchors
Top ropes: distance from floor 2000 mm
Middle ropes: distance from floor 1000 mm
Bottom ropes (optional- Email for quote): distance from floor 40 mm
Horizontal distance between ropes: 450 mm
Horizontal distance between sets of ropes (minimum) 600 mm

Ropes
Top rope length: 1150 mm (When folded in two and drawn taut)
Middle rope length: 930 mm (When folded in two and drawn taut)
Rope material: 12mm double-braided polypropylene.

Wall structure
Ensure wall structure is strong enough for applied loads. Allow 200 kg of horizontal force per rope set.

Remember people are occasionally killed when brick walls fall on them. Slam dunking basket balls has caused this to happen! (This seems to happen with relatively unsupported walls of outbuildings. Be careful!!

Rope anchors
In masonry walls several types of fixing can be used.

The most common type is the "Dyna Bolt" available from hardware shops. These are best used in solid walls such as concrete or relatively solid bricks. Use 12mm diameter and take note of the recommended hole diameter.

Where the masonry wall has cavities such as in many clay or concrete bricks, it is satisfactory to use a special adhesive such as (Ramset) "Chemset" With this stuff the holes are drilled and then filled with adhesive before inserting the anchor bolts. The adhesive then sets fixing the anchor.

In both cases either 12mm eye bolts (bolts with an eye loop on the end) or plain threaded rod (studs) can be used. With the latter, an eye nut (12mm) is screwed on after the anchor is set.

In timber framed walls several techniques could be used.

1  If the vertical studs are conveniently space at approximately 450 - 600mm apart you can use 12mm lag screws  These are screwed directly into the centre of the studs at the appropriate heights (see above).  Eye nuts are then joined to the lag screws.

2  You can pass a bolt right through the wall from the other side. If the studs in the wall are conveniently place at the appropriate spacing (450mm) you can pass the bolts right through the studs. Coach bolts (12mm) are best.

3  An excellent method which also protects you plaster is to mount a large sheet of 12mm plywood, 1200 wide x 2400 high against the wall.  This is securely attached to the wall frame using numerous wood screws. Before mounting the plywood prepare by attaching the eye nuts to the board using 40mm long x 12mm diameter coach bolts.

The risks associated with the connections failing are great so we strongly recommend you consult a builder or engineer for installation.
