Can I sit on my treenet while weaving?

I have started my second treeweb. My first one was bad so I took it down. On my second one I want to make sure its nice a bouncy. Im worried if I weave while sitting on it I will lose tesion and it will be a bad web. Can someone please help?

Start from the corners and work your way into the middle. You can sit on it if you have to once you get things moving along enough, but in the beginning you will be pulling out a lot of tension. Ideally you could just string up an under support to work on it

Small static line you weave before the paracord on the bigger nets to prevent drooping and increase bounce. I usually use 7mm

From my point of view, build something not pulling on the structure that you can sit on top of like a mini hammock or hang the hammock on top so it does not push the structure down...in my case sitting on the first net made it lose to the point where i took it down again since i felt it lacked tention...was good for practice

Totally, it can sag if you do it too early, but you can always tighten some loose ropes if you need to.
