How to choose Tree Tent Stacks & Bundles
Check what the stack adds under the tent. The 13 reviews here, all from Tentsile, are 5 ground stacks (a tree tent plus a Ground Conversion Kit and Double-Bubble Insect Mesh, $556 to $1,132), 6 two-level stacks that hang a hammock under the tent with a ladder ($932 to $1,837), a SkyRail backrest bundle from $576 and the $2,672 Trilogy Super Stack. The pages say a ground level doubles capacity, from 2 to 4 adults on the Flite, Connect and Safari Connect stacks and from 3 to 6 on the two Stingray ground stacks; the two-level stacks list up to 4, 6 or 9 people, and the Safari Connect Classic gives no head count. Total weights on ten listings run from 8.77 kg / 19.3 lb to 27.8 kg / 61.2 lb, and set-up times from about 25 to 60 minutes.
Specs are thin. Only the Trilogy Super Stack carries a full specification sheet (2,640 lb / 1,200 kg capacity, a 198.3 square foot floor, 12 doors); the other listings give, at most, a total weight, a set-up time and a rainfly rating. Some pages contradict themselves: the $933.60 Stingray Starter Stack calls itself the Stingray Classic Stack, which is a separate $1,124 listing; the $1,564 Safari Stingray Classic Stack describes 2 levels in one paragraph and 3 in another and says it sets up in minutes while its spec lines say 30 to 60; three Connect-based pages mention Tent Walls that their box lists leave out. Eight listings show a crossed-out price, such as $695 beside $556, and only the Connect Classic page states a saving, 15% off the bundle items. Few give tree needs: the Safari Stingray Classic asks for 3 trees of 40 cm / 15 in diameter.
Every review of this type comes from one store, Tentsile, whose pages say shipping is free over $199 to the US lower 48 and EU, for the first delivery attempt only, with 3 to 5 working days there and 7 to 10 for the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand; PO boxes are refused, and stack parts can come from different warehouses and arrive in separate packages. Returns are accepted within 30 days of receipt, opened products included, with a restocking fee given as $20 for an unopened box and $50 for a used product, although another line says $30 for all non-warranty returns; you pay return shipping on opened products unless they are defective or wrong. Products bought from Tentsile's own site after January 2025 carry a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects when used as the manuals say, with straps and ratchets covered for 5 years.
Look elsewhere if you need a capacity, dimensions or fabric for each part before buying, or a clear tree size and spacing: most stack pages give neither. The $1,837 Safari Stingray Classic Stack XL lists no weight, set-up time or size at all, and the Trilogy Super Stack page carries a double-negative note about 3 months of continual use, so confirm the limit with Tentsile.

Questions before you buy
What is a tree tent stack?
A set that adds a second level to a tree tent. On the 5 ground stacks (from $556) the tent hangs above an enclosed ground level made with a Ground Conversion Kit and a Double-Bubble Insect Mesh; on the 6 two-level stacks (from $932) a hammock hangs under the tent and a 6 ft / 1.8 m webbing ladder joins them. The pages say the second level doubles the sleeping capacity, for example from 3 to 6 adults on the Stingray stacks.
How much does a Tentsile stack weigh?
Ten listings give a total weight: 8.77 kg / 19.3 lb for the Flite Ground Stack, 15.2 to 18 kg for the Connect, Safari Connect and Stingray ground stacks, 17.1 to 22.7 kg for the Classic and Starter stacks, 22 kg for the Safari Stingray Ground Stack and 27.8 kg / 61.2 lb for the Safari Stingray Classic Stack. The Trilogy Super Stack lists a unit weight of 67.2 lb / 30.5 kg, and two other pages give no weight.
How long does a stack take to set up?
The pages say about 30 minutes for the Flite Ground Stack and Stingray Starter Stack, 25 to 40 minutes for the other ground stacks, 30 to 40 minutes for the Connect and Safari Connect Classic stacks, and 30 to 60 minutes for the two Stingray Classic stacks. One page's note says a first try takes longer, and three pages (the Trilogy Super Stack, the SkyRail bundles and the Safari Stingray Classic Stack XL) give no time.
Are the crossed-out prices on stacks real discounts?
The pages do not say. Eight listings show a crossed-out price beside the price, such as $857 beside $686 and $2,296 beside $1,837, and the text explains none of them. Only the Connect Classic page claims a saving, 15% off all items in the bundle, and the $932 price sits beside a crossed-out $1,165 without the page relating the two.
What trees does a stack need?
Most pages say only that the tent hangs from 3 trees. The Safari Stingray Classic Stack asks for 3 trees of 40 cm / 15 in diameter, the SkyRail bundles list a minimum recommended tree diameter of 14 in / 30 cm under the Trillium XL, the Safari Connect Ground Stack puts the tent 1 m / 4 ft off the ground, and the Trilogy Super Stack lists a set-up height of 1.2 m / 4 ft.
Can I return a Tentsile stack?
Within 30 days of receipt, including opened products. The page gives a restocking fee of $20 for an unopened box and $50 for a used product, while another line says $30 for all non-warranty returns. You pay return shipping on opened products unless they are defective or were sent wrongly, and pre-loved and clearance items cannot be returned.
