Introduction Terms of Use

The UNA is our rst single-person Tree Tent with removable rainy, offering you the
chance to hike into the outback even further for a whole new level of freedom.
This single person model is the lightest Tree Tent solution in the world, perfect for
hikers and backpackers so they can walk further, carry less weight and get the most
comfortable night’s sleep imaginable.
It features a tensioned hammock bed with a large pocket on each side, full no-see-um
mesh top with a fold away door and a removable rainy for unbeatable views. The
rainy can be pegged out towards the ground, creating a large 30ft² / 3m² covered
area so you can use the ground to store your gear beneath the UNA.
This product was created because Tentsile loves trees and believes that if we’re all
hanging out in trees, they can’t cut them down!
18 trees are planted for every Tentsile Tree Tent sold. :)

Installation and use of the Tentsile Tree Tent may
involve heights, can be dangerous and may lead
to injury and/or death.
The installation must never be executed by
minors, and extreme care and caution must be
taken when executed by adults.
Do not use any other components, parts, tools or
materials other than those included in the Tentsile
Tree Tent package, recommended in this manual
or in other Tentsile literature.
A hanging and/or suspension system is only as
strong as its weakest link and all instructions and
guidelines must be followed.
The Tentsile Tree Tent must only be used in
the manner described in this manual. When
assembled and installed, the Tentsile Tree Tent
places signicant force on the anchor points;
great care must be exercised when using it to
decrease the risk of injury and/or death.
Overloading the Tentsile Tree Tent with more
than 330lbs (150kg) increases the forces and
may cause anchor, Tree Tent and/or any parts
to fail, resulting in injury and/or death.
The manufacturer and resellers of the Tentsile
Tree Tent explicitly disclaim any and all
responsibility and liability for any death,
paralysis, injury, and/or damage to any
person or property that may occur that arises
out of or is in any way related to the use of
this product.
Using any equipment that is suspended above
ground can be a dangerous activity that may
result in serious injury and/or death even
when used properly. Use at your own risk and
always use common sense.

Positioning the UNA
Tentsile Tree Tents need 3 secure and strong anchor points to suspend
from. The distances are marked below. Once the location is found, lay out
the UNA on the ground with the corners facing your selected trees.
Alignment Sight Tag
Use the sight tag on the side of the UNA.
Look along the tag and ensure it and the strap
are inline with the tree.
