Step 1

You’ll want to check for wear and tear on all parts before you begin each time. Wrap the tree protector around the tree and fasten it with Velcro closure on one side/anchor point. Repeat the procedure on the other side/anchor point.

Step 2

Wrap the tree trunks you have chosen around both halves, ratchet end, and webbing sling end. Fold the portion where the slackline webbing comes into contact with the sling in half.

Step 3

Repeat the procedure in reverse, starting with step 2. Wrap the tree protector around the tree and attach tree/anchor slings using a Velcro fastener first. Then connect the ratchet to the sling using the second stainless steel bow shackle.

Tip: Loosening the bolt a bit makes it simpler to remove later. The webbing loop of the ratchet should be placed over the shackle bolt. For simple tightening, make sure that the lever of the ratchet is facing up.
