    Question on Turtledog Stand Restrictor Cord

    My TD stand is made in such a way that it doesn't need restrictor cords. However, I would like to experiment with making it stand taller. I'm not sure how much force will be put on the cord. What strength cord do I need? What would you recommend? Will a biner work to connect the cord to itself instead of a knot and if so, does it have to be climbing approved? Thanks for your help.

    No real force will be put on the cord unless a leg tries to slide. If set up on the ground or grass there is little chance of that happening, so tech line or similar is plenty strong.
    If you prepare for failure you will probably succeed.
