How to Set up a Tentsile Stingray 3-Person Tree Tent 

Ha ha! Thanks Percy. That's very funny! Great sense of humour you have there.

You don’t want to plant oak. Maple is a much more solid tree.

Thats funny😂.

Dem, lol

😂😂😂😂

Very good.

lol lol lol..

Just buy the tentsile indoor propane tent heater.

😂😂

Yeah when someone stupid like doesnt think at ALL

The next version, is the octopus.

It's a good point. We will try and jump inside the tent at the end of demo vids in future.

We need proof that u could reproduce the planet in this thing, put up a demonstration

Simon WoodburyForget you don’t need to make a knot. If you watch the video properly you can see you’re just going through the loop that’s already provided. The ratchet tightening does the rest.

@@TentsileLtd Ya... nice promo video. Who packed up those three trucker tie-downs up those mountains? Not those two young women, I can bet.

Ha ha! We love sarcasm, great stuff. This video is called "Set up" so people can learn how to set up the Stingray. If you want to see people IN the Stingray, just watch one of the 9,261 videos that come up under the search "Tentsile Stingray." We will review the need to show in the inside and get back to you, Mr /Mrs Cattle. Thank you! :)

It's honestly not too tricky and you don't have to be a whizz at angles to figure it out. Just 3 trees in a triangle. Loads of people use them every year and haven't had any trouble with them.

Trees must all be within 90 degrees of each other. Like a spiders web external frame ( within which they make the spiral).

not as much problem as you think unless in a desert, ha ha ha Matt K.

Wooooooooooow

In my area it’s easier to find 3 trees than level ground I’m sold haha

Cool we'd like to see it 😊

Thanks Dan :). Definitely! But we also have lighter models for the hiking, backpacking explorer type. The 2 person Flite and the 1 person UNA.

Thank you!

they make an underneath gear layer

The ground dwellers lol

We've got plenty of videos with people in our Tree Tents: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hLWwzwbuKno.html but for the purpose of a quick set up guide we've tried to keep it to need to know :)

Thanks! We like to think there's a Tentsile for everyone.

It's only a good idea if a grizzly can't reach you. You're just hanging meat for all the predator's at 3 feet off the ground at night.

You will be able to drop a ratchet as you get more adept at setting up.

20 mins, max

Thanks!

We recommend 1 - 1.2m

Hi Paul, It's possible to peg out the wings of the rain fly to the ground to avoid condensation and maximise water run off :).

Oml, guess I'm not the only one that feels this way. Comment section is havin a great laugh aswell it seems

@@tokingwithspirits9215 Yes, I lot of very clever people.

Yes, you can and in the middle. Lots of choices!

Hi Robert, Thanks for your comment. It's not actually as difficult as it sounds, as the trees don't have to be perfectly placed. As long as the three points are all less than 90° from each other, you will be able to find an equilibrium point with your tent. Check out this video for more info :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-riy_1015TOo.html

I'm fabricating an attachment for the roof of my Highlander to mount this and my hammocks to, as I live in the desert and it would suck to use cacti...

Hi Paul, Yeah Cacti might be a bit difficult. Our tents can also be pitched on the ground if needs be but setting it up on your Highlander sounds cool let us know how you get on!

Paul Curtis yes, I’d like to see that too, as I’m thinking about doing something similar..

There are hundreds of trees in some woods. Idk how this would be hard

Could always bring a friend along for set up and sit back with those beers and watch :).

On the other hand, it also takes a lot of time to find a suitably flat and level area for a ground-tent.

Of course, it depends how cold it is, but yes, an air mattress is a good idea. We have special ones that fix in, but all makes will work.

Ratchet tighter

@@TentsileLtd lol...

Fine. Fully galvanised. Salt water will have an effect after many, many months. Rain water - years.

Yes, you can. As long as the angle between trees is less than 90 degrees, the length of the strap can be adjusted so that the tent finds equilibrium between them ( like a Spider's web - always between three point, finds space to make a spiral)

Smart cookie! Can happen after 2 days of non-stop rain... so we invented WaterGates...tentsile.co.uk/collections/stingray-accessories/products/watergates

multi level camp, away from mud, better rain run off, no level ground needed, no bugs, softer beds, fewer poles and more fun. What have the romans ever done for us?

We're sorry to hear you had a bit of trouble setting up. The straps are all adjustable so you'll be able to make them all the sam length. There is an underfloor strap so that the tent can be separate into different sleeping berth so it's comfy for more than one person. If you're camping in colder weather you can use a good down sleeping bag, or a SkyPad Camping Mat for extra insulation. It's also possible to put a Trillium hammock underneath the tent to create an extra layer of insulation at night and an extra hang out spot in the day :D.

in the same way you winter hammock, you would do here. It's not that difficult to setup or take down...

There are the ratchets that are on small straps with loops that you put through all the D-rings at each corner of the tent. Then 3 tree straps that are 6m in length so can definitely fit around an average sized tree. Recommended set up height is 4ft off the ground so you can easily hop in and out. Hope this answers your questions!

Tentsile Ltd not really, how do you put that 20ft up in the air?

Set ups that higher than the recommended 4ft have been created by people with climbing experience and equipment. Not one to try at home unless you're an expert. Our Tree Tents are pretty amazing but they don't give you the ability to climb 20ft up a tree without previous experience and knowledge. ;)

Yep and then in the middle of the night the chav family next door come and Nick your straps lol

Depends how big are the animals.

Yes, up to 440kg, is ok! :)

Thank you! :)

Or a smart phone which also has a built-in Level. iPhones have this, for example, next to compass.

Enjoy!

so wheres the review?

Will he reply 10 months later?

Structurally designed with anti-roll mechanism, 3 tree angles do not have to be perfect and straps are 19' so can fly out as far as you need. 10 mins set up

You get about 7 degrees margin of tolerance, but the tree can be further away if the nearest tree doesn't have a good angle. Also, with spare ratchet, you can using this to make a floating anchor point and pull a strap into the correct angle by using a side tree. It is a nice and simple ( and fun ) solution!

you should make a cold temp solution with extensions on the outer "tent" so it makes a closed air pocket underneath when attached together. Or perhaps you already have a solution for that?... ofcourse the condensation had to come out somewhere... why not near the three anchor points..

UV protection, weight and durability. Safari is meant for longer set ups and rentals.

Nawas there’s one for 90 bucks

It does have the logo on the front - which is almost the same thing, but backwards...

@@TentsileLtd You would have to admit, extra help is nice

Always. In everything

Yes, and in Winter!

Yes! You're right. You never getting flooded, Tree Tents literally keep you high and dry.

What about lightning thunder storms?

I agree with you on that one, Lightning can be pretty severe.

Very good performance!

Can be, in cold weather. That's why we can solution for this.

As long as it's tensioned properly that shouldn't be a problem. The length of straps and ratchets mean that it's very sturdy.

Raccoon bite you in the ass!

It gives you a more comfortable night sleep because you're up off the ground. Great for people who love camping but have back problems. You're not restricted by rough or wet terrain and in warm weather you can take the rainfly off and sleep under the stars! Plus who doesn't want to sleep closer to the canopy.
