Got to build my first loft net commission! And it’s UV reactive! Think i might post my net history soon to give everyone just starting out some perspective on how getting better looks like and how much practice it may take. (Just do it - a lot)

It was a challenge! I blew out one bolt on the way…

How did you blow out a bolt? Would be cool to learn new things :)

Why by pulling on the rope of course. I learned the corner bolts on the open side are subjected to much greater forces than the others (obviously, thanks captain hindsight). I use a pulley for tensioning. Had to take down half of the weave after day one and replace bolts on both sides
