TREE PROTECTION
The TREE PROTECTION by EASY SLACKLINE, with a length of 1.5m, serves as a perfect protection for bigger trees for longer and heavier Slacklines or Longline set-ups.
Super light and very easy to install or adjust, thanks to the special 4 sewn loops, your sling will never drop to the ground during installation.
The very resistant sewing will avoid any slipping off or down during heavy sessions and can also be used nicely for heavy highline set-ups.
Tree Protection: Slackline - An environmentally friendly Sport
We are working together to keep the sport an environmentally friendly activity and recommend therefore to all users always set up your slackline with special TREE PROTECTIONS (we offer seeveral types and versions in S, L and XL).
How the trees suffer!
Practicing slacklining without necessary precautions can result in extreme harm to the trees. Indeed, due to this important impact within Europe we can find easily areas, even complete cities, in which the Slackline activity has been banned and prohibited completely. These are the unfortunate consequences of past carefree slackline activities.
Your own slackline behaviour is therefore really important because it can affect a whole community of Slackliners.
Our TREE PROTECTIONS greatly exceed the minimum requirements to prevent and guarantee the safety of trees.
The right choice of trees
The right choice of the most suitable trees is really important. Follow these simple precautions to select the proper tree:
- The diameter of the tree should be at least 35 cm;
- The bark should be quite thick, because thin bark tress are the weakest for our sport.
- Pay special attention to the choice of the tree during the flowering period between January and May. During this period the tree creates a membrane in which flows its sap.
Are these TREE PROTECTIONS suitable for all slacklines?
Yes, of course. This protection system can be used with the 50 mm and with 25 mm slacklines.
Important: Don't use a simple rope as a slackline's anchor. Its limited surface does not avoid the tree damage.
Moreover we recommend to completely avoid any contact of a rope with the bark.
Good idea
Good ones for tree protection. Vertical stripes useful to put all up if you alone.
