My trees are 42 feet apart. Would the 49' line be too long and difficult to tighten?

We actually got the 80ft one cuz their wasn't much more in price difference. And this way in case you want to travel with it you have plenty to work with

Not at all. Just wrap the extra amount around the tree after passing thru the ratchet.

Hello! The slackline is easy to set up and there are many videos on how to arrange it on Youtube. 49' line is perfect for a 42' distance.

No it shouldn't be a problem, but truthfully, given the like 10 dollar cost difference between the 80 and 49 footers, there's no reason to not get the 80 just in case you find a bigger gap.

I would recommend the 82' gibbon slackline. More possibilities to better yourself that way. Also, once you get used to a longer distance the short distance seems like a breeze and you can impress your friends!

If you run stock shackles you should be close. I ended up getting a longer rear shaft to be on the safe side.

Our branch also is very high and we purchased heavy nylon rope to give the extra length needed. Connecting that rope to the swing and adjusting to the desired length.

My ~40 ft works fine. The wheels stay locked, but as the one gentlemen mentions try lowering it if it gives you problems.

I don't believe a 50 ft regular hose would fit and would probably be too heavy.

We hanged ours on our preexisted trees large trunks. The trees are about 13 feet apart and about 4 1/2 feet high point of where we have chains and hooks (the one that allows us to hook unhook kind).

The perimeter of the branch exceeds 36", so they won't go all the way around. I have screwed hooks into the tree, from which they hang. Seems to work fine,

There are no adjustments. But its probably 3 to 4 ft long. If u need it to be longer just add a leader line to desired length. Hope that helped

I would not recommend using rope. You need some type of steel strand which needs to be as tight as possible between two trees.

I only need about 50 feet, and that works very well. I know the hose will stretch farther, but I don't know how much farther.

Yes, you should be able to because you loop it over itself to secure it. If I remember correctly, it comes with an extender strap for thick branches.

Mine is very difficult to tighten, but I used slip joint pliers and was able to tighten it about 2/3 of the way in which seems to be more than sufficient.

Far as walking on it without a problem, it's very hard to do that. These slacklines aren't easy to master. The ten foot rack is easier than the free standing tree mounted lines are. More sideways movement with longer lines and much more bounce too. One of these days I will try to walk a long line.

Use wood lugs. Should be just fine. Make sure the lug is long enough to go about 3'' into the tree, through the bark.

All I can do is guess. 50 ' will stretch to 75 feet. I use it to hold a ball in a tree for my dogs to play with.

The answer depends on how far apart the trees are. You will get about a foot of chain with a screw anchor that comes with the hammock. What I did was utilize two separate sections of chain wrapped around each tree secured with a bold to form a loop around the tree. Then extend the separate sections of chain to each end of the hammock hook and just hook into the tree chains at your desired distance. Buy the sections of chain based on how far it is between the trees. I found rope was not satisfactory as it stretched.

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