Tensa Outdoor and the commercial packable tensahedron stand

[cmc4free]

1. Stopper, but you can connect your tarp to that loop too. The light cordage is meant to convey that this top section is for tarp only, not hammock.

2. No, don't hang from the pin. Hang from the black continuous loop with toggle looped or lark's-headed over the pole. The pin just keeps the Amsteel from sliding down the pole, in addition to holding the tarp extension up.

3. See #2.

It's our bad for leaving these ambiguous. Finally it's super simple, but you shouldn't have to muddle. The stout pin will soon be replaced by a much less substantial pin that won't tempt you to think you should hang from it.

Got it; no further questions. It actually is quite simple once you know what everything is meant to do.

I just placed my order for the stand. Looking forward to hanging with it soon. I ordered directly from Tensa Outdoors. Hopefully they will ship soon.

Out this morning. Aim to please.

That was fast. Expected delivery is Monday. Not bad for ordering on a Friday night.

Thank you.

I'm pleased

Couldn't wait, so I set it up in the dining room. I just tied the foot tether to a small table, so I couldn't give it a full test but all the parts are there. I may have to take a lunch-time nap tomorrow

Just make sure it always wipes its feet before taking a place at the table, because slugs are disease vectors.

It's not exactly where you'd think to set it up, but I like how this photo shows the modest footprint.

Just be careful of ceiling fans when setting it up! I can only imagine THAT disaster!!

Can confirm 2 instances of product damage reported by customers seeking repair parts. One involved a lawnmower. Ceiling fan made me think of it. Amsteel is tough. Other involved attaching hammock suspension to both poles below the connector, so the suspension slid down the poles pulling them together with heavy user: bent.

We can’t help with lawnmowers directly. We hope a forthcoming change to pole connection style might make it a little harder to do the wrong thing, or at least most obvious to do the safest thing. Happy in both cases to have repaired all damage from our loose parts service: https://www.tensaoutdoor.com/product/parts-a-la-carte/

This was just posted on my YT video.
Is there an answer to the query?


Shug, I'm in need of a self supporting stand because I sometimes (kayaking) end up on a beach without trees. I used to have a handy stand - that one from U.K. with all the cords and anchors - but it depended too much on very secure anchors in the ground - difficult to do on crushed shell beaches or with the lava rock under the soil where I live. I understand the Tensa4 stand only uses anchors to secure the "tilt". So I could possible anchor the foot end on something heavy (bow of my kayak) rather than an anchor screwed in the ground. Soooo - do you have a scale you could attach between the orange anchor and the line and see how much pull is applied to that line in normal conditions. In other words, if I know the stand was putting 35 pounds of pull on that orange stake, I'd know about how heavy a weight (beach rocks/logs) I'd need to put on the end of the line without having to screw something in the ground,

Thank you for showing how the Tensa4 works and "taking one for the team" to drive home the lesson of getting out on the right side of the line (sounds like the start of a country western song; "... because your mine, I get out on the right side of the line ..."
