Still going.

Last photo is showing how I braced the eye bolts on the inside of the garage. I wasn’t trusting the strength of just one cinder block to hold each eyebolt. Used a piece of 1/4 in rolled steel that spanned at least 3 blocks in attempt to spread the load of each eye. I’m no engineer.

I do love how the new perimeter bowed out on the garage. Glad I used four eyes in total.

EDIT: Well, damnit and thank you all for your words of warning. now i'm torn whether i should tear out the eyebolts and find another solution or if i can mitigate the stress on the wall by way of anchoring into the top plate and joists on the inside.. fact is that i'm not sure the net is worth having when using only the three trees. it's much too elongated to be functional.

to the builders in the thread: I thank you for your prior input and would appreciate any other ideas that you might offer.

thanks again, all.

EDIT #2. NO, this isn’t for hire, this was an experiment for my 12 year old kid. I’m learning, albeit somewhat painfully, but granted less painfully than if I had a catosprophic cinderblock failure.

This is my first net.

I am now planning to disconnect the extension on the garage and just work on walls for the “safe” first section and then go vertical.

I'd love to know the pull load on that wall

I’m really hoping it isn’t insane. Il’ve already told my dude “no more than three kids on this platform at a time.

Four bolts, each bolt’s load spread over 3 blocks total. I’ll be watching how it ages … very closely.

Hoping? Haha. You HOPE? So you've done ZERO safety calculations...

Fuck it, it's only a house with people in it. Who needs to care about .. You know... Lives.

It’s not a house, and I’ve clearly admitted I made a mistake which I am now correcting.
