We have a 600ft 5/8” twisted nylon that we use when doing up to 300ft. We store 
it in one of those big plastic WalMart totes. We lay it in the tote in a zigzag 
pattern alternating long wise and width wise. I wish it was a braided nylon 
rope, but at the time I couldn’t find one. Most of the time on shorter towers 
we use a 500ft 1/2” braided nylon. The 1/2” should be plenty for what you need. 
I’d like to get a 700-800 foot 1/2” for some jobs.

Looking at rope to winch equipment (antennas, Boxes, etc) to top of towers None 
over 275’ nothing more than 100 Lbs.

 

Couple Questions.

 

What Rope do you prefer and size and what length do you recommend?  I have a 
400Ft Spool of 3/8 Poly double braided but its not long enough.  

 

How do you store your rope for transport to keep it untangled. 

 

What do you use as a throw line to get the rope to the top.   Most of my towers 
the climber cant pull to the top.
