Gibbon Slackline

When you are slacklining, tree protection is one of the most important things. You will probably damage the tree (which is vandalism), but it is also possible that you will damage your slackline!

The protection isn`t anything difficult – just use cardboard, carpet or similar material to protect the bark (see the picture). The carpet is more difficult to get but is not affected by rain or snow (as cardboard), so I would recommend it.

You can also buy a special tree protection from Gibbon – the "Treewear". There are two large pieces to cover the bark (take a look at the picture), also equiped with velcro so the fastening is much easier than with cardboard or carpet. You can get more information or buy the Treewear here.

And remember – do not anchor the line to weak or damaged trees! Use trees with hard bark and 12 inches in diameter at least.
