The first time on the line can be very frustrating for most people; their legs will cause the line to shake back and forth. Also, slacklining without shoes on is the best way to get started. To mount the line for the first time, stand close to one of the trees and face the middle of the line.
Place the foot closest to the line on it; keeping your feet parallel to the line while walking is key. Also, pick a stationary point usually the far tree to stare at while on the line.
From here, jump off of the ground and transfer the weight smoothly from the leg on the ground to the one on the line and stand up. First, try to balance on one foot. Then, balance on the other foot. Once balancing on both feet feels comfortable, proceed to start walking! Patience and persistence are the keys to figuring it out. Question 2 years ago. This is great for practicing anyone's balance!!! I will definitely set it up in our yard when snow is gone! Thanks for sharing this brilliant idea!
We have a similar, but slightly more basic set up at home. We have a slackline, with a loop in one end or you could just have a rappel ring on the end and loop the other end through it. Then you just thread the slackline through itself around the tree and feed the other end of it into a ratchet, allowing you to tighten it with some ease.
Its great fun, and thanks for making this instructable for when we need an impromptu one! Reply 10 years ago on Introduction. Introduction: How to Set Up a Slackline. Did you make this project?

Recommendation: If you need to buy a slackline, the one I recommend to all beginners is the YogaSlackers slackline The quality is very high and the webbing is of low-stretch, making stabilization much easier.
This allows for more fun and less frustration! Even as you get more advanced, it remains a very fun line because it allows you to do more challenging moves without being overly difficult or dangerous to control.

This instructable will show you how to set up your own slackline. Here is what you will need. I got all of the supplies from REI, but i am sure there are many other places that carry these things.
Materials 1 inch tubular webbing- at least 70 feet carabiners - 5 carpet 1ft. The anchors attach the line to the tree or whatever you are slack-lining in between. Now, tie a water knot on both ends of the ten foot sections to make a big loop.
Keeping tension on the line, tie at least three half hitches around the webbing that is in between the sets of carabiners. I recommend tyeing them on a bite, this will make taking down the line much easier. Note that it will take a while for your line to stretch out, if you notice the line getting loser, it is probably the webbing stretching. Surprised I missed that original reply from so long ago, but since we're back on the topic In any setup where you have to use two slings, or have to sling an anchor such as a tree as in this setup, or around a boulder, etc , you HAVE to use two carabiners for maximum safety.
Any setup will load the carabiner s in one direction or the other on their minor axes, but the idea is to minimize this as much as possible.
My slackline method is thus: The anchor webbing is folded into a loop and a carabiner clipped into the end of the loop. I Muenter-hitch the webbing to the opposite end of the carabiner, pulling a loop in the tails through the last wrap of the hitch. The stationary carabiner from the Ellington setup goes into the rap ring and thus lies horizontally flat.
The same method is used on the static end of the line, using a flat line-locker hitch through that carabiner. As mentioned above, this gives me two locations to release line tension without damaging anything in the case of a long, tight line, or a jammed tensioning system if I botch the release.
The rappel rings ensure everything is loaded only along its major axis every axis is a major axis on a rap ring! There's a billion ways to rig a line. As long as you're safe and having fun, anything goes! A worthwhile consideration on this setup: these carabiners are tri-loaded.
In a shorter line as in this Instructable, that's probably not a problem, but consider other methods when rigging a longer line. Carabiners are rated to be loaded axially on their major axis along the spine from end to end and a tri-loaded 'biner will fail at a lower load.
Again, probably not a problem here. Reply 11 years ago on Introduction. These are loaded in the same way you would rig an anchor for climbing.
