What the AI looks for in Slacklines

Webbing width
2-inch webbing is easiest for beginners; 1-inch is for longer or more technical lines Wider webbing is more stable underfoot.
Tensioning
Choose a ratchet with a safety backup or long ratchet handle A ratchet makes tensioning simple, and a backup prevents a dangerous release.
Tree protection
Always pad the anchors with tree protectors on healthy trees of adequate thickness Protection prevents bark damage and is required in many parks.
Length
Start short and low, about 15–50 feet Shorter lines sag less and are easier to learn on.

  • Slackers: Family and backyard slackline kits.

What to avoid
