While technically it is possible to weave together your own slackline, we really wouldn’t recommend it. However, putting together your own slackline kit is possible, and provides a way to try out the sport prior to making the commitment to buy true slackline equipment. At its core, a slackline kit has the following things – a length of a line (rope, cable, etc.), a way to attach it between two stationary objects, and a way to add tension to the line. All these items can easily be found in climbing gear, or even at the local hardware store. The trick is to find materials that can support your weight, and the force of your movements while on the line. The kits presented here are designed to not only provide quite a few afternoons of fun, but they are also designed to do so safely. So while a homemade kit will serve you as a temporary fix, if you end up liking the sport, a professionally made kit is certainly something to consider.
