Title: slack line
Post by: ouch on June 15, 2007, 11:47:38 am

I'm thinking of putting up a slack line between a couple of trees in my garden.  I've never been on a slack line but thought it would be a bit of a laugh and good for balance.

Is it as simple as tying a bit of old climbing rope to the said trees and getting on it?

Any opinions?  :please:

Most people use webbing to slackline. I'd imagine it would be harder with rope.
