- 1). Tie one end of rope to large object you want to move. Stretch rope out and tie a figure-8 knot in the middle of the rope leaving about a 4-foot loop in the rope. To make a figure-8 knot, grab a length of the rope and double it, leaving about a 4 foot loop at the end. Curl the rope you have in your hand under the section of rope that is tied off and loop the end of the 4 foot length between the tied off section and the rope you have in your hand. Pull length of rope all the way through, creating the 4 foot loop.
- 2). Take the loose end of the rope and run it around the fence post or tree mid-level height with the object to be moved and bring the loose end of rope back to 4 foot loop. Thread the end of the rope through the 4 foot loop in the rope.
- 3). Tighten up any slack in the rope so you can get a good grip. You will be pulling object along the ground, so make sure item to be moved is clear of any obstacles or anything that would get in the way of it moving.
- 4). Pull back on the rope and watch the large object move using the rope pulley system you created. You were able to use the leverage of the rope to create more power.
