Hang Frame

Hang Frame

The structure of a hang frame helps to evenly distribute the forces of a slackline. They also minimize webbing damage by removing the need to wrap the webbing around the wood support. The information shared in this section was developed by Bradley Duling. Check out his video for the full instructions.

Materials Necessary

  • 3x Pieces of  2”x 6” Studs
    Select a straight and clean wood planks
  • One sling
  • Hardware
  • Two 3 1/2″ long x 5/16″ bolts
  • Four washers
  • Two lock nuts

Tools Required

  • Drill
  • Saw
  • Ratchet or wrench to tighten bolts
  • Long string
  • Measuring tape

Building Instructions

  1. Drill a hold at 12 inches from the end of each leg. This will create the feet of the hand frame.
  2. Drill a hole at 8 inches from the end of the bridge on one side.
  3. Bolt one leg to the bridge.
  4. Lay the wood in the general shape of the frame
  5. Measure the distance for the spread of the feet. Around 48 inches.  Use that as an approximation to drill the bridge’s second bolt.
  6. Bolt the bridge to the second leg.
  7. Attach a string to the midpoint of the bridge and extend it toward the head of the frame.
  8. Use the string to mark the wedge cuts on the head.
  9. Trim the wedges off the head and the excess length of the bridge.
  10. Mark the center point of the head pieces for the alignment hole.
  11. Drill the hole evenly through the head.
  12. Feed the sling through the head

Installation

The installation is very similar to installing an xframe. The major difference being that instead of wrapping the webbing around the frame, the sling is wrapped on either side of the head and a shackle is used to connect the hang sling to the anchor and the webbing.
