W4 Tent Suspension Bands - Black, 5 Pack

Product Information

Camping above a waterfall or a ravine might seem really cool, but it won’t be if your tent suffers a catastrophic failure in the night. Although tree tents are designed to be super strong and reliable, anything can happen out there, especially if human error is introduced into the mix. Most tree tents have a maximum weight capacity and for good reason – no one wants to break their tent in the middle of the night. In general, it’s best not to exceed 80% or so of the tent’s maximum capacity to ensure that you don’t have any potentially dangerous mishaps in the middle of the night. Suspended models, which include all of Tentsile’s offerings, are very strong and stable. They can often accommodate hundreds of pounds of weight, making them the better choice for longer camping trips in remote environments with large groups. Sleeping Capacity/Weight Capacity

2. Lawson Hammocks Blue Ridge

Fun for kids: Kids love tree tents! They are fun to climb around and will leave them with endless hours of entertainment. Clean: Regular tents are flat on the ground so you end up getting dirty and stepping into the dirt every morning. Tree tents are suspended so they stay clean all night. One advantage of using rope suspension systems is that they offer better grip on smooth surfaces than webbing straps do because they’re able to wrap around objects more tightly. However, ropes can cause damage if left tied around trees over long periods due to friction wear against bark; thus many parks have banned their usage altogether. Rainfly Construction: The Safari Stingray uses a 8,000HH (hydrostatic head) rainfly with PVC-coating for UV resistance. The standard Tentsile Stingray has a 5,000HH PU-coated polyester rainfly Once a network of cables is suspended from suitable points of support, the miracle fabrics can be hung from it and stretched across the relatively small distance between the cables of the network. The German architect Frei Otto has pioneered this type of roof, in which a net of thin cables hangs from heavy boundary cables supported by long steel or aluminum poles. Following the erection of the tent for the West German pavilion at Expo '67 in Montreal, he succeeded in covering the stands of the Munich Olympic Stadium...in 1972 with a tent that shelters eighteen acres, supported by nine compressive masts as high as 260 feet and by boundary prestressing cables of up to 5,000 tons capacity. (The spider, by the way, is not easy to imitate — this roof required 40,000 hours of engineering calculations and drawings.)"
