Tensa4 Setup

Grasp the outer tube and pull slightly. Line up the holes on the adjacent tube and pull until the

button engages. Repeat until all sections are extended. See Fig. 1

Connect the 4-section pole to the 3-section pole at the open ends. Repeat until you have 4 long

poles. See Fig. 2

Lay all four 7-section poles next to each other as shown, and connect 2 poles to each end of the

baseline. Then connect the other end of the poles to the ridgeline similarly. This should make a

floppy diamond, not two sets of 2 poles. See Fig 3 and Fig 4a - c

Page 1 Tensa4 Setup Grasp the outer tube and pull slightly. Line up the holes on the adjacent tube and pull until the button engages. Repeat until all sections are extended. See Fig. 1 Connect the 4-section pole to the 3-section pole at the open ends. Repeat until you have 4 long poles.
Page 2 Set the anchor and attach the guyline to both the anchor and to one pole with the ridgeline. See Fig 5a Unfold the stand and adjust the base position and/or guyline length so the tethered (foot) end is higher than the free (head) end. See Fig. 5C (no fig 5b)
Page 3 Loop the hammock suspension over one pole at each end and adjust the suspension and baseline length for your desired hang angle and sit height. See Fig 6 Enter the hammock with your weight on the un-tethered (head) end. See Fig 7...
Page 4 Many users find it helpful to hang a counterweight, such as a pack or water bladder, from the head end apex, to improve stability. If the ridgeline goes slack when you recline in the hammock, lengthen the hammock’s suspension. If the ridgeline becomes extremely taut, shorten the suspension. If your head or feet touch the poles while laying in the hammock, widen the base.
