Tensa Outdoor Tensa4 Manual

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

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)

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

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.
