TREEPOD LOUNGER/CABANA INSTRUCTION MANUAL
THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION AND GUIDELINES. BEFORE
USING THE TREEPOD READ THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY AND MAKE SURE
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO ALL WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, INSTRUCTIONS, AND SAFETY
RECOMMENDATIONS. PERIODICALLY REVIEW THE INFORMATION IN THIS MANUAL AND
INSPECT YOUR TREEPOD AND HANGING EQUIPMENT REGULARLY FOR SIGNS OF DAMAGE AND/
OR WEAR. DO NOT USE THE TREEPOD IF THE TREEPOD OR ANY PORTION OF THE HANGING
SYSTEM SHOWS SIGNS OF DAMAGE OR WEAR, BUT CONTACT SELLER TO DISCUSS THE STATUS
AND SAFETY OF YOUR TREEPOD IF IN QUESTIONABLE CONDITION. DO NOT USE THE TREEPOD
UNLESS YOU ACCEPT ALL RISK OF INJURY AND/OR DEATH THAT MAY RESULT FROM YOUR USE.
PARENTS OF MINORS AND MINORS: Minors should not use the TreePod unless they are under
constant competent adult supervision. Make sure that the TreePod is only installed in areas where
minors can not access it without such adult supervision. Minors should never install or adjust the
hanging system at any time. The TreePod should not be left unattended or set up for unsupervised
use by Minors. A lock on the door zippers may be used to prevent unauthorized use.
The TreePod was developed to accommodate one adult or a few children, weighing less than 500
lbs (227 kg) total, for use over a flat, even and soft landing area without any obstacles, people,
projections, or hazards underneath and/or nearby. A HANGING SYSTEM IS ONLY AS STRONG
AS ITS WEAKEST LINK AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES MUST BE FOLLOWED. The
TreePod must only be used in the manner described in this manual – as a suspended play house,
the bottom ring of which is no higher than 3 ft (0.91 m) o the ground and total weight of occupants
does not exceed 500 lbs (227 kg). USING ANY EQUIPMENT THAT IS SUSPENDED ABOVE
GROUND CAN BE A DANGEROUS ACTIVITY THAT MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR
DEATH EVEN WHEN USED PROPERLY. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND ALWAYS USE COMMON
SENSE.
• Make sure that the TreePod is hung only from anchors as described in the anchoring
section below. Do NOT attach the TreePod to ANY anchor point that is too weak to
safely support 1500lbs (680kg) or that is not fixed. Non-fixed anchors include but are
not limited to any vehicle, moving structure of any kind, slackline of any kind including
longlines and highlines, any structure that can bend or lose its shape with the weight of
the TreePod and its users or any animal; these are not adequate anchors. Public facilities
and infrastructure (utility poles, sculptures, playground equipment, sound equipment,
trac signs or signals, parking structures, bridges, buildings, etc.) are not suitable anchor
points for the TreePod.
• DO NOT set the TreePod at any height that will allow the bottom ring to be any higher
than 3 ft (0.91 m) o the ground.
• Make sure that there are no dangers, obstacles, hazards, people, animals or projections
underneath and/or in the immediate (10 ft/ 3 m) proximity of the TreePod that could injure
the user or users in a fall.
• Do NOT exceed 500 pounds (227 kg) in weight in the TreePod at any time.
• Do NOT allow sharp objects of any kind inside the TreePod. Fabric is under tension and
should never be in contact with sharp or penetrating objects including but not limited to
clothing, garments, accessories, tools and animals that when in contact with the fabric
LOUNGER / CABANA

TREEPOD LOUNGER/CABANA INSTRUCTION MANUAL
could cause it to rip and lead to significant injury or death.
• Do NOT use, refuel or allow ANY fuel-burning products including but not limited to
lanterns, stoves, heaters, and cooking devices inside or in the immediate proximity (10 ft/
3 m) of the TreePod. Use of fuel-burning products in or around the TreePod is dangerous
and can cause an accumulation of carbon monoxide and/or a fire which can lead to
serious injury, damage or death.
• Do NOT use or allow ANY heat sources or open flames including but not limited to
campfires, lighters, smoking of any type and candles inside or in the immediate proximity
(10 ft/ 3 m) of the TreePod. The fabric is flame-resistant not fireproof and use any open
flame or heat source in or near the TreePod could cause a fire leading to serious injury,
damage or death.
• Make sure the elements of the hanging system and TreePod have been installed
properly before use.
• Adult supervision is always required when Minors are using TreePod.
• Do NOT set up the TreePod in front of pedestrian, bike or other trac paths.
• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will cause fading and UV damage to the TreePod.
ALWAYS store TreePod out of directly sunlight to extend the life of the TreePod.
• This TreePod is not impervious to damage or wear. THE TREEPOD MUST BE PROPERLY
MAINTAINED AND INSPECTED BEFORE EVERY USE. FAILURE TO INSPECT AND
MAINTAIN THE TREEPOD BEFORE EACH USE MAY RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR DEATH.
FAILURE TO:
• USE COMMON SENSE,
• USE THE TREEPOD AS RECOMMENDED IN THIS MANUAL, AND
• HEED THE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH.
INTENDED USE AND NONUSES:
The TreePod is designed for gentle play and relaxation. NEVER stand inside, jump into or use it as
a trampoline or swing. It is not intended to be used for rock climbing, cli faces, or other areas of
large drops, or overnight camping. Do NOT attach or secure the TreePod to a movable platform or
anchor, it is not intended to be used for such recreation or activities. Do NOT attempt to use this
product for anything other than its intended purpose, and always observe height and weight limits.
The TreePod is not intended to be used in inclement, severe, or bad weather. If there is weather
that creates dangerous conditions, such as storms, heavy rain, high winds, and/or lightning, do
not use or remain in TreePod in or during those conditions! It is recommended that the TreePod
is taken down and stored to avoid remaining in and being subject to such conditions. Leaving the
TreePod out and installed in bad weather can lead to potential destruction and/or damage to the
TreePod. If the TreePod is subject to such conditions, it and its anchor/hanging system should be
inspected in detail prior to any future use. Be sure to thoroughly dry the TreePod before storing.
WHEN ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED, THE TREEPOD PLACES SIGNIFICANT FORCE ON THE
ANCHORING STRUCTURE, GREAT CARE MUST BE EXERCISED WHEN USING THE TREEPOD TO
DECREASE THE RISK OF INJURY AND/OR DEATH. OVERLOADING THE TREEPOD WITH MORE
THAN 500 POUNDS (227 KG) INCREASES THE FORCES AND MAY CAUSE ANCHOR, TREEPOD
AND/OR ANY PARTS TO FAIL RESULTING IN INJURY AND/OR DEATH.
THE MANUFACTURER AND RESELLERS OF THE TREEPOD EXPLICITLY DISCLAIM ANY AND
ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR ANY DEATH, PARALYSIS, INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE
TO ANY PERSON OR PROPERTY THAT MAY OCCUR THAT ARISES OUT OF OR IS IN ANY WAY
RELATED TO THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
AIRBAG: The bottom of the TreePod, the section under the bottom ring, provides both insulation and
an emergency safety feature to cushion a fall if the TreePod anchoring should fail. It is however not to
be made to suer intentional falls or relied on for regular use or entertainment. The cushioning provided
by the airbag is simply an added safety feature and does not promise to prevent any potential injury or
TREEPOD LOUNGER/CABANA INSTRUCTION MANUAL
death. If there are any tears or rips in the airbag they should be repaired immediately. If the airbag has
been used and/or implemented in a fall of the TreePod, it needs to be checked for damage (tears or
rips) and any damage should be evaluated and repaired before any future use.
MAINTENANCE: The TreePod should always be kept clean and dry. It is recommended to apply
after market UV resistance spray and mold resistance spray to protect the fabric from the elements.
Sprays should be reapplied every two months. The TreePod should be inspected for damage to
the fabric and hanging points before each use. Any tear/wear in the fabric should be immediately
repaired. For repair tips an instructions you can visit our website www.mytreepod.com or contact us
STORAGE: When not in use, the TreePod should be removed and stored dry, clean, and fully
disassembled in a storage bag, in a dry environment and out of reach of children, pets or other
animals. If the TreePod will be left out for extended periods of time, an additional cover may be
used to reduce UV damage.

TREEPOD LOUNGER/CABANA INSTRUCTION MANUAL
INSTALLATION
Needed to begin:
A steel, locking carabiner will also be needed if hanging between trees. ALWAYS use rope that is
rated with a breaking strength of at least 1500 lbs (680 kg). When buying the rope only buy a rope
that clearly states its breaking strength. We recommend using rope made of synthetic materials that
will be more durable when used outside. Rope should be inspected periodically for signs of mold,
fraying or tears and should be replaced if any of these conditions exist.
ANCHORING
The TreePod Stand can be purchased separately and provides a solid anchoring system for both
indoor and outdoor use. However, the TreePod can also be set up and installed to hang from a tree
or between trees (but not other objects, such as poles, utility poles, or other stationary man made
or installed structures), as outlined below.
ONE TREE USING A STURDY BRANCH
The TreePod must only be attached to tree branches that will support the weight and MUST always
also be attached to the trunk, the strongest part of the tree. The tree and branch must be alive, not
cracked, hard-barked, and hanging point should have a minimum diameter of 8 inches (20 cm).
DO NOT ATTACH THE TREEPOD TO ANY TREE THAT CANNOT WITHSTAND A MINIMUM FORCE
OF 1500 POUNDS (680 KG). Always protect the tree or branch being used as a hanging point with
readily available tree protection for slacklines, ziplines or hammocks or use a carpet scrap, felt or
cardboard. NEVER attach the TreePod to a man-made structure, other than the TreePod Stand.
1. Locate a suitable and safe location with an
accessible tree branch as described above with
no hazards, obstacles, projections, or other
dangers underneath and/or nearby.
2. Tie a figure-8 on bight knot, creating a loop on
one end of the rope.

BETWEEN TWO TREES
The TreePod can also be hung between sturdy, mature, healthy trees with trunks at least 10 inches
(25 cm) in diameter at the desired attachment points so that the TreePod hanging height follows
guidelines (the bottom ring of the TreePod MUST NEVER be more than 3 ft (0.91 m) high over
flat and unobstructed ground). DO NOT ATTACH THE TREEPOD TO ANY TREE THAT CANNOT
WITHSTAND A MINIMUM FORCE OF 1500 POUNDS (680 KG). You will need two pieces of rope,
one of them should approximately 2/3 of the length between the trees and the second rope should
be approximately 1.2 times the distance between the trees.
1. Locate a suitable and safe location with
accessible tree trunks as described above with
no hazards, obstacles, projections, or other
dangers underneath and/or nearby.
3. Position ladder to access the attachment point
of the tree trunk on one side and wrap the end
of the rope around the trunk using a girth hitch.
