Step 3. Attaching Obstacles
• Select desired positions for obstacles. Shorter
distances apart are recommended for smaller
users (approximately 16 inches apart is a good
place to start). First obstacle should be placed 6-10
feet from tree on the course line.
• With safety ring on underside of line, pull line
through safety ring to make a loop. See Images 1
and 2.
• Thread carabiner through the line looped through
the safety ring. Do not attach carabiner to safety
ring. See Images 3 and 4.
• Attach obstacles to carabiners in desired order.
• Use ratchet to fully tighten line before use.

Safety Guidelines
• For ages 6 and up.
• Adult supervision required.
• Weight limit 250 lbs.
• Adult assembly required, including site selection
and installation.
• Choose trees of at least 1 foot in diameter. Trees
should be between 25-55 feet apart.
• Do not attach to unhealthy trees, this may result in
injury.
• Load stress test must be performed before use.
• All watchers should maintain a 10 foot distance to
prevent injury.
• 1 standard length
monkey bar
• 1 long monkey bar
• 1 spinning wheel
• 8 carabiners
• 8 safety rings

Step 1. Determine height for obstacle course
• Line should be set so that the shortest user’s feet
hang 12 inches from the ground while hanging
from the gymnast rings.
• To determine the height of course, measure
shortest user from feet to fingertip with hand held
high, then add 24 additional inches. This should
include the 12 inch gap to ground, plus the length
of obstacle. For example, your shortest user is 72
inches from feet to fingertip, add 24 inches, the
height of the line should be 86 inches from the
ground.
• Special Note: The farther apart the anchor trees
are, the more the course line will sag in the middle.
This is normal, but should be taken into account
when setting line height.
• The line height may need to be adjusted for best
user experience.
Step 2. Setting up the line
• Wrap tree protectors around desired tree trunks at
pre-calculated line height. Use of a step ladder may
be necessary.
• Secure anchor line with ratchet to tree. Wrap line
around tree, then thread ratchet through loop on
the end of the line. Pull ratchet until line is snug
around tree with no slipping.
• Take course line and wrap around other tree. Pull
loose end through loop and tighten to prevent
slipping.
• Folding the line in half before threading through
loop will help line stay flat when connected.
