How do you tension this between two trees that are less than 25' apart?

Well, that's quite a question. You could try looping one end around the trunk or a branch then latch that end to itself. That could make the tie out too short. I'd suggest you get some screw rings (kinda like heavy duty mug holders) from a hardware store and use those in the trees for adjustable tension.

This is not the correct product for what you want to do (at least as inferred by your question). Search for a pet "trolley" such as this one: Four Paws Silver Heavy Weight 100 Foot Dog Trolley Exerciser Find the appropriate length main cable to tie off between your trees, then the appropriate length cable that attaches to the dog to cover the height of the main cable and a couple of extra feet for slack.

This is the line that attaches to an overhead line or tie out stake, not the overhead line itself. You can get cable from any home improvement store and some ferrules to attach the cable to the trees. The ferrules will let you tension the line before you clamp them down.

Mine is clipped onto a tie out cable that is mounted in the ground. I'm not sure what you're asking here.

I wouldn't. . You have to buy a seperate stake. You screw the stake in the ground and you've got a 25 ft leash. One hook at the end goes on collar other goes on stake. Not enough length

I take loose cordage with me and tent stakes and sting between trees and ground in whatever configuration is best for type of terrain or weather conditions. For more on this technique, you can YouTube "pitching tarps for camping" or "camping tarp configurations". And I'm sure you'll get some ideas

10 feet might be short, our trees are about 15 feet apart.. might want to look for a small Hammock.

The rope plus the clip is about 50 inches. You actual have to tie another rope from the tree branch to clip to the swing to make the desired length.

The straps should reach around a tree that is about 3 feet across. Otherwise you could always add another strap from walmart or something.

I used a length of chain around the tree limb that I closed with a quick link, and then I also used a heavy duty climbing rotor and 2 carabiners to complete my installation. The first carabiner attaches to the top of the swing and joins the ropes coming up from the swing itself to the bottom of the rotor. The other carabiner attaches to the top of the rotor and then to the bottom of the chain hanging down from the tree limb. I also used a piece of heavy duty black rubber tubing between the tree limb and the chain in order to protect the branch.

The easy way is use a fence stretcher. Its like a com-a long for wire fence.

Apologies in advance if this seems idiotically obvious, but I would screw on a frame of selected 2X or thicker lumber and attach to that. I would cut so any knots would be away from attachment points.

You certainly do not want to damage a young, small tree with nails and screws. I would suggest purchasing a wooden post, treated, and nail a square block of wood on the top of the post to accommodate the width of the feeder. If you dig deep enough the extra weight would not affect the balance of the post. It would look quite handsome beside your tree.

What ever distance you desire. I would keep it under 10 feet apart to insure lateral support.

I also had a long bow and string length of 4 inches shorter seemed to work.I was not concerned with the string tension. Hope this helps

I hang my hammock between trees and adjust the length by using a heavy duty rope - it works fine.

I have the tree branch wrapped with a tree strap... with 2 chains looped around the branch about 3 feet apart, closed with steel carabiners rated at 5000 lbs. the loops at the top of each of the green rope hooks into the carabiner

The bridge that I set up has nothing in between the units. I was told that if you have any obstacles between them it won't work. The receiving unit is in a hedge row, but there are no branches blocking it.

I used a hook to hang from tree but does have 1 already. I need to make a covering a bit over top as rain ruins seeds. Right now I fill it up some but not full.

I use mind for artificial trees. You could try drilling little holes in the bottom

Yes, my hammock is between 2 trees 11 ft. apart. My husband uses slings which are used to lift heavy equipment with shackles.
