Description
Poles are adjustable length both in trekking and hammock stand mode, with a maximum hammock hang height at 56″, plenty for gathered-end hammocks up to 12′ long with room for underquilts. Accommodates bridge hammocks as well.
A ridgeline stabilizes the system when you aren’t in the hammock. Most camping hammocks have integrated ridgelines. If yours doesn’t, you will want to order or make one.
We warrant the system for users up to 250lbs (110kg). Ground anchor strength, rather than pole strength is usually the relevant weight limiter. Hiking out of very loose or muddy soil to firmer ground is advisable. The bundled Tensa Boomstake anchors can be pounded into extremely hard ground, which affords excellent stability. Bases of woody shrubs, chinks in rocks, additional or alternate anchors, and other opportune tie-down points can work where Boomstakes may not.
Poles can be assembled with on-the-fly height adjustment ranges of 33-38″, 41-47″, or 46-52″ with weights ranging from 332g to 458g, meaning that shorter hikers can get lighter poles.
Each system includes:
- 1 carbon fiber trekking/hammock stand pole
- 1 snow basket (enlarge the footprint of the hammock foot)
- 1 rubber tip (tarp protection)
- 1 tarp connector
- 1 top knob (orange, yellow, or black)
- 1 Treez Hubz
- 2 Amsteel UCR guylines
- 2 Tensa Boomstake anchors (30 or 40cm)
- 1 lightweight carry bag

Tensa Outdoor’s products are crafted with great care AND Cheryl provides personalized customer service before and after the sale that you simply won’t get from a “big” company. At one point I was having an issue with one of the very early production parts seeming to fit right and she scheduled a video call with me to “show” me how to easily make the repair with tools I had in my own home, avoiding the need to ship anything back to her (although if I had wanted to do that, she’d have done the repair for me herself, I’m sure).
