Floor Strap Calibration

How to use the Ratchet

23

24

UNLOCKED

LOCKED

Crank the ratchet handle back & forth 7- 9 times to 

increase tension to straps.

Note:

 All Trilliums come pre-calibrated direct from the factory. You should only need to calibrate the floor again after 

many uses. Due to the fact that over time, the fabrics stretch but the seat belt does not, you may need to carry out this 

procedure once a year to ensure that the floor is kept in equilibrium and tight on all sides.

If the outside edge of the Trillium is looser than the 

underfloor straps, you will need to loosen the underfloor 

straps. Getting the right balance between the outside 

edge (periphery strap) and the underfloor straps may 

take some practice but you will know when you have

got it right! This procedure should be carried out if 

ou feel like you are rolling outwards ( towards the edge ) 

or inwards ( towards the central hatch ) while using

your Trillium.

1, Loosen all floor straps by feeding 3”/10cm backwards 

  through the adjuster buckles under each corner of

  the Trillium.

2, Set up as normal, to the point where you have raised  

  the Trillium off the ground by pulling excess orange 

  strap through and have cranked the ratchets to hold 

  the Trillium off the floor.

3, Trilliums should be raised, and set at half tension ( you  

  should still be able to flap it up and down quite easily  

  by about 1”/30cm ).

 

4, Pull underfloor straps through adjuster buckles at  

  each corner, past the crease left from earlier use by  

  about ½” / 1cm on each corner.

5, Ratchet to full tension and check all sides are of

  equal tension to each other and equal to the under  

  floor straps.

6, Repeat procedure until you have the right balance  

  between each edge of the Trillium and the underfloor  

  straps that divide each hammock berth inside.

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.
