With a Line Locker, it is possible to set up a slackline with no knots. Furthermore it will be perfectly flat with no twisting whatsoever. This method is just as easy to do as tying a knot (if not easier) and comes undone with little to no effort when you’re ready to take down your line. It consists of no more than a single link from a high strength chain. The material should be approximately 5000 pound working load high strength 3/8” chain. You can find this at any hardware store in most cities. Buy 1 foot of the chain and either cut every other link with a hack saw or beg the worker at your local hardware store to do it for you. Obviously you have to cut half (every other) of the links to get the other half free. You’ll get about 5-6 Line Lockers per foot of chain. We recommend painting them so they won’t rust.
