The slackline was about a 2" (50mm) webbing strap, tightened with a ratchet mechanism similar to those used by truckers. Apparently it only cost £50 off Amazon.
Anyone here had any experience of this?

Slacklining is very big around here; we even had a slacklining workshop at our juggling+unicycle festival. I've messed around with it a bit, I can get up and stay there for 10 or 20 seconds. The fun/work ratio seems a bit low.
