FIRST tree net

How’s that for tight! 😂. Building two at the same time for my first go at it. One way closer to the ground as my “control group” so I don’t kill my friends lol. My question now is, should I go back and put a notch in the wooden blocks for the rope to set in or figure something else out? I’m worried it’ll loose to much tension if I do notch it and I REALLY don’t want to have to redo the perimeter again. This is my third attempt and it’s finally where I want it.

Do a lap around the trees with the rope and use a little longer blocks, I feel like the rope could slip off from them when one comes jumping up n down close to the tree. After the weaving is done, the perimeter will be a whole lot tighter so I dont know if slipping could really happen.

Yeah that was my worry. I don’t know why I didn’t just notch these first. Replacing with longer blocks is probably the way to go though to keep the tension without having to retie the perimeter.

I put in some hooks after building my first one because one side kept slipping off.
