We have it set up between two trees on a semi-permanent basis. I'm sure it would work fine if you used concrete footings, but with the amount of traffic ours gets, I doubt polls buried in the ground would last long. Best of luck!
Ours had one slack line and one teaching line, with one end looped around the tree and through the slack line's loop, and the other end wrapped around the tree and through the ratchet and tightened. It's perplexing at first, but once you've gotten the hang of it, it's simple. Perhaps you simply received an extra slack line by chance?
If your trees' trunks aren't too large, it should be enough to get around them.
Personally, I would not do so. Unless you have a bolt that will go all the way through the hole. When you tighten the strap, a lag bolt or screw hook, I believe, will tear out.

I've had it for a little over a month, and my 7 and 8-year-olds have already played with it with a few friends. After the second use, the slack line snapped! I'm having a hard time getting ahold of the supplier, or anyone else, to see if they'll replace it. I'm not sure if the one I received was defective, and if they replace the slack line, I'll remove this comment; however, if you still see it here - Look for a different brand because this one isn't reliable or stands behind their product.
The advertisement stated that it was made of nylon with a maximum weight of 800 pounds and was made in the United States, but when I received it, the maximum weight was 250 pounds and it was made in China, with no nylon label.
If I had more experience and knowledge of. It exceeded my expectations and was a great deal of fun to play. I'm sure I could have put one together for less money if I was more handy and familiar with the equipment, but I'm not, and I needed peace of mind while multiple small children played on it. This is the one I'm glad I picked. I really wish the rope didn't say "slackers. " Maybe cool for an older kid, but not so much for a group of 7-year-olds or their parents. I had no idea there was a limit. The diameter of the tree to which the larger rachet section is attached should be between 1 and 2 inches. 2 feet. It can't be too big because it won't fit around it, and it can't be too small because it will damage the tree. The size of the other end tree is entirely up to you.
This was a huge hit with my kids. It could accommodate a large number of adults and children. We bought it and hung it from two trees in our yard, which were quite far apart. My brother-in-law, who weighs 250 pounds, and my husband's friend, who weighs close to 300 pounds, both tried it out and said it was fine. My five children also played on it at the same time. We had 40 kids come to our house for the party we had planned, and it was completely full all day. We left it on our trees all summer before removing it for the winter. To set up on your own, it takes about 10 minutes. It took two of us to get it to the proper height for my children, so I assisted my husband.
During a camping trip, the kids had a lot of fun with this. I brought some tree wraps with me, and I'm glad I did because the trees were covered in sap, and the wraps kept the majority of it off the slackline (but not all of it). I'll have to figure out how to clean up the slackline's remaining tree sap; it's a disaster. br>After 20 minutes of use, I tightened the line, and it seemed to stabilize, and it was strong enough for adults to use.
So, back in 2016, I bought this. (It's now 2020)br>br>I bought it for my son's birthday party, and we've used it at three scout events (between 20 and 75 kids) since then. There will be a few more family gatherings. as well as in the house br>br>We've had it up in the yard full-time for the past few months "at home," and it's still going strong. It's still being used by the kids. (At this time, they are ten and thirteen years old).
This slackline is a hit with our family; my kids, ages 14, 12, 10, 7, and 5, all enjoy playing on it, and it's simple to set up. My husband taught our older children how to set it up, and now my 10-year-old son can set it up at the local slackline park by himself. The teaching line makes it enjoyable for people of all ages. My husband and I, as well as my 14 and 12-year-old daughters, enjoy practicing without the teaching line, and no one can resist trying it out once it's set up. When Grandma and Grandpa came to town for a visit, they wanted to try walking the line. We were all laughing hysterically! The product arrived on time, and the storage bag comes in handy when it's time to put it away.
I'm not capable of doing it, but my children are, and they enjoy it. There are no limits to the amount of time you can spend having a good time. My children are improving every day. After trying, my back hurts for the rest of my life, but perhaps you'll be more fortunate.
