Very good point...Have you experienced this rolling? Can you heat the clear vinyl as we do the shrink tubing with a torch to get a tight fit without burning it????secret said:if you read the link.... the i/d needs to be 5/8... outside is 3/4 rubber hose is a different size, the reason you use the clear tubing so when you boil it it gets soft enough to be pulled on the chain ....when it cools it is tight on chain...... my works perfect.... no noise! if you used rubber hose that wasnt tight... what would stop it from rolling on chain and making stand slip....you choose
There is no need to worry about anything rolling. The force of your weight down on the stand causes a cantilever moment arm, which pulls the chain in to the tree. The aluminum arms of the stand hold that chain up at a certain angle, and the weight keeps it snug against the tree. It isn't going anywhere with your weight on it, regardless of what you have on the chain.Born2Hunt said:Very good point...Have you experienced this rolling?
