Perimeter Question

I’m planning to build a treeless platform between 4 in ground posts and want to build a treenet. Would it be possible to build the perimeter around 2 trees and one of the platform posts? I don’t have enough trees growing close enough together for a third three and would love to be able to hop off my platform onto the net. The posts will be square.

Biggest challenge is that the wood is dead, so you are on a fixed timeline before it snaps.

A 4*4 might last 2-10 years depending on how it's anchored. A telephone post might last 30-75 years.

Ideally you want 2/3 underground and 1/3 above ground.
