No trees?
No problem!
You can still learn and practice basic slacklining indoors in the comfort and privacy of your own home even during the harshest weather that mother nature can send our way.
You can purchase an indoor slackline set that can be set up on the ground in your home that doesn’t require trees, ratchets or other equipment. If you want to start slacklining and quickly learn how to get your balance, it’s a great choice for a beginner.
Why get an indoor slackline set?
There are actually several reasons why you might consider purchasing a quality indoor slackline set:
You’re afraid of falling
If you’re afraid of falling off a slackline rigged to trees or poles, you’ll quickly see that an indoor slackline is inches off the ground. It’s designed to be close enough to the ground that even if you do lose your balance, the distance you’ll “fall” is less than the distance between the average steps on a staircase.
The main purpose of an indoor slackline other than the convenience is that it enables you to practice getting on the slackline and keeping your balance before graduating to an outdoor set.
You don’t have access to trees
Not every home has trees and even if you do have them, they may not be big enough or the proper distance apart to set up a slackline.
You don’t have a backyard
If you live in a condo or apartment or otherwise have no backyard, you don’t have a private place to set up a slackline. In this case, you might have to search for a local public area to set up your slackline. However, what if…
You don’t have access to a public park or other public area
If you don’t have access to a nearby public area to set up a slackline, an indoor slackline set is the next best thing. Some local jurisdictions crack down on public slacklining or otherwise limit your ability to set up a slackline, too. Then again it might simply be that time of the year and the weather isn’t cooperating…
It’s winter and you’d like to practice indoors
If you are already an avid slackliner, you might like to keep in practice during the winter. What can you do if you don’t like the idea of slacklining in the snow or otherwise during harsh winter weather?
You can set up a slackline indoors and leave it set up for as long as you like.
You want to practice without a crowd
Not everyone likes performing in front of other people. If you’re the type of person who gets overwhelmed by other people watching you, learning slacklining in public might not be your thing.
Having access to a slackline inside the privacy of your house that you can use at any time of the day might be the best way to get started, on your own.
You want to set up a slackline and leave it
We already discussed considerations for why you don’t necessarily want to leave a slackline set up permanently especially in a public area. There are legal and safety reasons, not to mention the fact that the slackline equipment deteriorates with weather damage. If you have room to set up an indoor slackline set, you can leave it as it is for as long as you like and use it when you wish.
