I am looking at building a zip line in my back yard and using steel tubing as my end anchors with the following specifications
75' span / support 500lbs at the center / 1/4" steel cable / anchoring the tubing into a 8"x6' masonry wall and encasing it is concrete with an additional 4' of tubing exposed.
I was considering 2x2x.250 but I am starting to believe that might be to small for this. Would 3x3x.375 be able to handle this type of load? If not what size and type (round or square) would handle this. Appreciate any advise on this. - JD
