AFM97XST10% offStart with how many people sleep and how many suitable trees you have. The 9 tree tents here, all from Tentsile, are 2 one-person tents (265 lb capacity), 3 two-person tents (485 lb for the two Flites, 880 lb for the Safari Connect), 2 three-person Stingrays (880 lb) and two larger ones, the 6-person Trilogy (1,200 lb) and the Universe, which the page says sleeps 3 adults in the air or 5 on the ground (880 lb). Floors run from 24 to 198.3 square feet, weights from 3.7 lb (a trail weight) to 99.2 lb, and prices from $329 to $2,090, with the Universe from $2,399. The pages ask for three healthy trees at less than 90 degrees from each other; the Trilogy asks for trees 10 to 14 m (30 to 45 ft) apart and at least 45 cm (18 in) across.
The listings state the figures unevenly, and some contradict themselves. The UNA (3.0) gives a 860 g tent body in its features and 5.1 lb on its spec sheet; the page calls the Flite (3.0) its lightest 2-person model at 10.4 lb while the Flite AIR lists 6.6 lb. A capacity of 880 lb appears as 400 kg on some pages and 440 kg on others, sometimes within one page. Rainfly ratings use HH (hydrostatic head, a water-pressure rating where higher means more resistance): 2,500 on the UNA (3.0), 5,000 on the UNA Air, Flite, Flite AIR, Trilogy and Universe, and 8,000 on the two Safari tents. The Stingray (3.1) listing gives no fabric, strap, pole or door details. Set-up is quoted as 15 minutes on a banner and 10 to 20 minutes in the FAQ, with the first time longer. We found no independent test of these exact tents.
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, with 3 to 5 working days there and 7 to 10 for the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand; PO boxes are refused. 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, and pre-loved and clearance sales are final. Products bought from Tentsile's own site after January 2025 carry a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects when used as the manuals say; straps and ratchets are covered for 5 years and a rainfly is meant to be replaced about every 3 years. Exclusions include poles and pegs, wear and tear, UV degradation, snow load over 1 inch and high winds.
Look elsewhere if you do not have three healthy trees at the right angles: ground use depends on a separate Ground Conversion Kit that the listings do not match to a tent. The Trilogy's page says Tentsile products are not intended to be permanent structures and carries a double-negative note about 3 months of continual use, so confirm the limit with Tentsile before planning a long stay.

Three. The UNA, Flite, Stingray and Safari pages ask for healthy trees at less than 90 degree angles from each other, and the Trilogy page asks for trees 10 m / 30 ft to 14 m / 45 ft apart with a minimum diameter of 45 cm / 18 in. For ground use the pages mention Ground Conversion Kits without saying which kit fits which tent or what it costs.
The spec sheets give 265 lb / 120 kg for the two UNA one-person tents, 485 lb / 220 kg for the Flites, 880 lb for the Stingrays, the Safari Connect and the Universe, and 1,200 lb / 550 kg for the Trilogy. Pages disagree on the metric figure for 880 lb, 400 kg on some and 440 kg on others, so ask Tentsile which applies to the tent you choose.
Tentsile's pages quote 15 minutes on a banner and 10 to 20 minutes in the FAQ, which adds that the first time takes longer. The UNA (3.0) page says 10 minutes after the first assembly, and the Stingray (3.1) page says 15 minutes, dropping to 10 after 2 or 3 uses. We found no independent timing of these exact tents.
Products bought from Tentsile's own site after January 2025 carry a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects when used as the manuals say. Straps and ratchets are covered for 5 years, and a rainfly is meant to be replaced about every 3 years. Exclusions include poles and pegs, wear and tear, UV degradation, snow load over 1 inch, high winds and products bought from third parties.
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.
Free over $199 to the US lower 48 and EU countries, for the first delivery attempt only, in 3 to 5 working days. Inside the US mainland below that the page gives a rough guide of $10 for most accessories and $20 for heavier items. For Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand it names no rate, only that rates are kept as low as it can, with 7 to 10 days. Parts can come from different warehouses and arrive in separate packages.
