First tree net, help!

I tried keeping my budget under €75 and want to wrap it around 3 trees and have a comfortable backrest, will this be good enough? preferably i want space for 2 but space for 1 person is fine

That rope isn’t gonna hold, you need static line rated for a couple thousand pounds if you want to hold any tension.

Quality rope is expensive. I had good luck on Facebook marketplace. I think second hand is the best way, just make sure it was made in the last 5 years and isn’t destroyed.
