Haha. Check the support page for link to latest Tensa4 docs: https://www.tensaoutdoor.com/support/
Shock cord is only on stands sold a short while in autumn 2018. All told there’s been about a dozen changes mostly minor since then.

What would be the recommended way to secure an amsteel guyline to an anchor or balcony railing?
Shug mentions a toggle in his video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PlOp6NPOuA, but it seems like the newer ones don't come with these.
My understanding is that the amsteel that comes with the stand is Dyneema. From what i've read in the ultimate hang, it seems like I shouldn't be tying any knots in amsteel? Is that right?
You can lark’s head the whole guyline around it, or use a toggle. A toggle can be anything: a pencil, a shoe, a key, a rolled-up magazine, an orange screw case... or you could tie a knot. I wouldn’t given the ease of a toggle. Knots lower the breaking strength of Amsteel, yes, but the line tensions in Tensa4 are nowhere near that limit, so some de-rating is fine.

Thanks guys! Very helpful!
So I asked this because I recently broke a wooster paint pole based "collapsahedron" trying to set up the amok in a tensahedron-2 configuration But I put together one of the EMT designs on the TensaOutdoor blog over the weekend and was really careful with the guylines. Had a great night's sleep in the backyard.
When I'm not in the hammock it definitely favors leaning one direction and that guyline is very loose. But once I'm in it, both lines have a little tension. I can lean hard to the left and that ends gets just a little slack again; poles look straight and I feel level and balanced; doesn't teeter-totter when I move around. Feels great. Only time it was a little scary was getting back in without spilling coffee in the morning.

Bobpaul, nice setup, looks very comfortable indeed. I like your coffee mug holder.
Has anyone tried cerekote the tubing? I was not sure if that was possible.
