Floor Strap
Calibration
23
Tentsile Trees Tents come pre-calibrated, but stretch over time,
so you will need to tighten the underfloor strap, using the
buckle every so often. Here is how.
When the T-Mini is up, the centre (underfloor) strap should
provide a clear delineation between both hammock berths.
To increase this tension (and therefore separation between the
two hammocks)
just tighten or loosen the adjuster buckle strap on
the underside.
This re-tensioning will need to take place every so often as the
materials stretch into full size over time.
If you are using the T-Mini alone, you can slack off this
strap completely and have the whole floor as a large single
hammock berth to yourself.
How to use the Ratchet
24
UNLOCKED
LOCKED
Crank the ratchet handle back & forth 7- 9 times to increase
tension to straps.
1) Take tail end of the long strap around your trees and
thread through the loop and away from tree, towards your
Tentsile Tree Tent.
2) Thread loop of the ratchet through the D-Ring at each
corner of your Tentsile Tree Tent and take the buckle through
the loop.
3) Take long strap tail and thread it through the ratchet buckle
spindle, pulling through all excess orange strap. Crank ratchet
until the orange strap has gone around the spindle at least
1.5 full revolutions to underlock it. This will prevent any
slippage before moving to the next corner.
4) Repeat step 3 at each corner, trying as much as possible
to keep the corners pointing towards their respective anchor
points.
5) Revisit all corners and adjust as necessary.
Use line of sight down each strap to centralise your
Tentsile Tree Tent between your chosen anchor points.
You have about a 7º degree margin of tolerance in each
direction.
6) Tighten ratchets as much as you can.
ENSURE RATCHETS ARE IN LOCKED POSITION BEFORE
ENTERING THE TENTSILE TREE TENT.
7) Roll and tidy up strap ends to avoid any
possible trip hazzards.
