3.1 ANCHORS/LOCATION:
The slackline should only be attached to mature trees that have a minimum circumference of
40 inches (1m) or 12 inches (30cm) diameter and a maximum circumference of 70 inches (1.8m).
DO NOT ATTACH THE SLACKLINE TO ANY TREE OR ANCHOR THAT CAN NOT WITHSTAND A
MINIMUM FORCE OF 2200 POUNDS (10 kN/1000kg). Always install the included tree protection
and/or SI TreePro, a carpet or soft rubber mat to protect trees and slackline from any unnecessary
damage due to abrasion. Ensure trees meet the size requirement, are sturdy and free of dry rot
before attaching slackline. If using trees in a park or other public area check local laws regarding
tree use to be sure it is permitted in your area and follow all guidelines that may be in place.
Slackline Industries recommends using as anchors only mature trees as specified above or anchors
specifically designed for slacklining. Please refer to our website for further information: www.

3.2 PREPARATION:
Locate a suitable and safe location with two
trees as described in subsection 3.1 above with
no hazards, obstacles, projections, or other
dangers nearby. Wrap tree protection around
each tree at the intended slackline height. If the
tree protection does not cover the full diameter
of the tree, add SI TreePro, carpet, cardboard
or another soft layer to extend the protection or
replace with SI TreePro XL. The ideal distance
for a primitive line is approximately 30 feet long.
3.3 STATIC ANCHOR:
Begin by creating a "line lock" using your
slackline webbing, Oval carabiner and round
ring. First take the end of your slackline webbing
and fold it back on itself about 1 foot to create a
"bight."
Put the bight of webbing into the round ring and
then fold the bight down and up back through
the round ring a second time and clip the inner
loop with an oval carabiner.
