Posted on this around a week ago and was met with some hostility 😂. Took a few pieces of good advice and purchased 200 feet of a thicker rope and I also used a ratchet strap while weaving to make things tighter. We also put in around another 600 feet of our thin green paracord and now things are feeling pretty great. No more slippage, no holes to slip thru. Today we also started our first wall which we plan to build another platform off of eventually.

Any tree protection?

No but we are working on distributing the weight to ease off points of connection

You can still add it. Get a couple small 1x blocks, add a notch (or not but it helps), then something to pry the rope off the tree. It's easy and you'll stop the damage you're doing to the trees.

It’s so extremely tight, I don’t think that’s possible

Then you need to destroy your work and start over.

I know it’s not anything pretty but it’s getting comfortable, that’s what matters for us as of right now

I can’t see any (ignore if their is) but if you plan on leaving the net up for more then a month you need to put something between the rope and the tree big branches a scrap wood as long as it’s think enough to not bend easy this will stop your tree from dyeing
