The Flite provides a unique opportunity for you and your friends to experience
the great outdoors with a whole new level of freedom and comfort.
Tentsile invented Tree Tents as treehouses you can take anywhere, combining
the versatility of a hammock with the comfort and security of a tent.
The Flite comprises of a double hammock, suspended in tension above the
ground and enclosed in an elegantly simple insect mesh top and rainy cover.
The unique design creates a comfortable base camp, irrespective of ground
conditions, as well as providing increased protection from insects, snakes and
other predators – if you venture somewhere more exotic.
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!
20 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.

strong as its weakest link and all instructions and
guidelines must be followed.

places signicant force on the anchor points;
great care must be exercised when using it to
decrease the risk of injury and/or death.

than 485lbs (220kg) 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.
