Can you leave a slackline outside

[werd.]

I just got my slackline today, and setting it up is kind of a bitch because the tree that I wrap the line around is really thick and has a bunch of shit around it. Is it ok if I just keep the two separate lines (the one with the ratchet and the other with all the slack) tied around the trees? I somewhat remember hearing that the UV rays can damage the fibers in the line but I wanted to make sure. I googled and only found one yahoo answer article back from 2006

I left mine out for two summers straight and nothing happened. but it got stolen last weekend so I dont have it anymore.

I wouldnt leave it out during the winter due to rain and cold temps, but during the summer months for sure.

What are slacklines made of, isn't it nylon webbing? Nylon deteriorates from exposure to the sun, i wouldn't.

Typically nylon, or polyester. And no I would not recommend leaving slackline outside. I never do.

My fiend leaves has left his up in the summers in colorado for the last couple of years all summer, rain or shine. As long as the UV rays arent to intense it should be fine.

I'm probably gonna do what I said and then just lay a towel over the excess line on the ground, and use a towel that sags over the line as a tree protector. Don't wanna take my chances with that shit snapping while I'm on it, especially the part of the line the ratchet is attached to

They take like 30 seconds to take down... is it really that big of a deal?

this. Once you do it a few times it's super easy.
