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.

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.
