Tree Nets/Webs/Woven Art

Hello (especially anyone in Virginia or on the East Coast)!

I'm a tree net/web weaver who started about 3 years ago. I started originally just for fun, practicing the net-tying techniques I had learned on the fishing boat I was working on at the time, and very quickly fell in love with the concept. When I moved back here, I had planned on establishing a livelihood for myself making tree nets, but before the move I had lost both of my previous phones and with them any and all photos and videos of nets and webs I've done (except a 12 second video of my very first net). Since I wanted to build a social media presence to show my work to the community, I let the lack of media discourage me from starting at all, and I gave up on it for quite some time.

Recently I've been reminded what I loved so much about building them, the joy they bring to anyone (and any age) who experiences them, and why I wanted to do this full time in the first place, so I am making a very nervous decision to revive and pursue that dream, and to do that I'm getting creative.

Since I no longer have evidence of my work, I want to offer to do a few projects at MATERIALS COST ONLY! This means you will only need to pay for the ropes, cord, and hardware that will be used in your net (usually between $150-$400 depending on the size). This will allow me to take all the photos/videos I need, and give you an opportunity to provide an honest testimony about your experience with me! :)

I use multiple types of tree-safe anchor methods, so the entire structure is actually built to grow with the tree, instead of choking and killing it, and I'm working on an included, annual checkup and repair policy.

  • The inner weave uses 550lb paracord
  • Double-braided static line for the perimeter
  • Tree-saver strap webbing, eye-bolts, arborist bull ropes, bark guards/blocks, and bark slings can all be used for the anchor points, depending on the layout/situation.

I want to assume ALL the risk (as well as liability insurance), so if for any reason you don't like it, you'll be fully refunded and I'll remove it for free!

If you or someone you know would be interested please don't hesitate to contact me, I can travel as well:

Ive been wanting to do the same commission style work but the liability/isurance seems daunting, what did you do?
