So last year was my first with 3/16ths on gravity. LOVED IT. I made the HUGE mistake of taking my lines down. Now I am replacing taps while sitting inside, Oh what a tangled mess. I have tried to reroll on a chair back to make hanging this mess a little easier. It's not working. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am thinking of starting all over with new lines at this point

I've had the same problem and learned the hard way. I take my lines down every year. Now when I put my lines back up and unroll them, I am very careful to keep something in the middle of the roll at all times. Like an arm. There is probably a better way but at least it avoids the dreaded tangles.

I take down the lines that you can see from the road every year. What I do is start at the bottom and roll them up in a large roll until it starts to get hard to handle. Then I put on about 3 wire ties, then roll some more up and ad more ties to keep the roll in order. In the spring start at the top cut a few ties and get going on down the line.

This is how i do it. I've got about 3/4 of a mile of tubing on there. I number my trees sequentially with dog-tags and then number the runs

WOW! I did number my trees with tree tags. But that looks really good, but heavy.

no way I could get something like that to my runs. I just leave them up and repair before season, much easier for me.

But that looks really good, but heavy.It works pretty well, but the roll can walk on the frame and get a little jammed up when you're pulling it off the roll. rolling it all in is definitely a work out! Better than a pile of spaghetti in the truck to try to sort out.
