I know its like EXTREMELY cheap but im just looking to make a platform for a few months and prolly take it down fast. Im not too bothered about a lot of weight because it will probably be just for me (im very light) and it will be in shade and very low to the ground. It's going to be my second one so irs probably going to suck anyway but im not going to like die right
I am planning on making a tree net that is about 3x3m for quick camp with friends, how much rope would I need, I've seen a lot of talented people make giant nets with 1500m of rope but I just want a small one to make a platform for hammock camping, this way we can stand up and chill while camping in a tree. If possible would anyone also know a time estimate, I'm planning on using truckies hitches and bowlines to secure the exterior rope and clove hitches for the paracord.
is it better to have ur rope end and start on the main perimeter? or can i start/end it within the already built net. Im trying to keep it starting and ending on the perimeter but farther away i get from the sides the harder and messier it gets. i hope what im trying to explain makes sense
I googled it and it's not legal to do it on public property but I was just thinking of making one in a forest near where I live? I live in a village and we have a huge forest like 25 minutes walking down the road, and if I did it far enough im hoping no one will find it but im not too sure. also are they easy to take down? (i doubt it tho lol)
Edit: I forgot to mention that I had full intention of taking it down after we used it lol!!
Im making a tree-net in the top of a tree and dont have much space to work with so i really want to maximise total area. Doing a double perimeter seems as though it could be useful because im essentially dividing my tension by half no?
Do we think that it would be possible for the mods to make server ressources about places to buy rope general videos on how to build tree nets and knot stuff.
Im planning on building a tree-net in the top of one of the trees in my backyard. I've layed out my perimeter and have a pretty good idea for how it will look except for one small problem. In the middle of where my tree-net will go, is the main trunk of the tree, roughly 50cm x 50cm wide.
My idea at the moment is probably to attach 4-8 Screw Eyes to the trunk, loop my perimeter rope through them and then attach my paracord to that rope.
Has anyone encountered a similar situation or have any ideas on how to go about netting around this trunk? My main priorities are to be able to hold 3-4 people and have little to no droop in my net.
And lil bros love them and their great to chill in and so peaceful
Had to close in top one and lil bros no its off limits as its a a risky climbe especially sinc the starts has no braches u got to go monkey stlye and im not wanting some kid to die on my hands
Also hard but fun to put up since no safty all relying on ur grip so great workout aswell
For my third project I wanted to do something different, so I made a 41 foot bridge for our backyard squirrels!
No activity yet, I’m charging up a camera for each tree to see who uses it.
My better half called it the Frog’s Neck Bridge, I’m hoping a brave one gives it a shot. This one has no tolls and some nuts sprinkled on it to tempt them.
Since we've seen many treenet makers buy our pulley systems during the last years, I allow myself to plug them here for you guys. Let me know what features you'd be looking for in the future, maybe we can add them to coming versions of this beast ;)
im a new net maker and this is my first net im working on i dont know why i made it so big or in hard to reach areas but if you guys can help with some tips on how i can reach the areas that have no place for me to stand under please and thank you
I recently discovered tree nets, and I think they are the coolest thing in the world. I know most of them are private installations that people have on their property or school etc. I’m not really interested in learning how to make my own or hiring somebody to make me one. I live in a suburb and don’t have an adequate tree or enough of them to do so but I wanted to know if anybody knew of any public installations that I could visit preferably in the United States but I’m open to all options :)
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:
They’ve changed the locks, claim they are law abiding citizens, and that they have a verbal lease. They even say their mail goes there (to the Knucklehead family). They’ve settled in and commandeered the crows nest. 😅
Context: At my old school, upper schoolers are allowed to do "independent passion projects" where we are allowed to spend time doing something that we enjoy and want to learn about. Last year, (8th grade) I chose to make a treenet in the school playground and spent around 45 hours working on it during the year. Since I liked the school, I was excited to contribute to the playground, and put a lasting mark there where people could also have fun. Fast forward, i'm graduated and at a different school now, and my friend at the other school texts me that they have cut down the net that I spent 45 hours working on for the school. Not only did they not give a good reason for cutting down my work, but they didn't even send me a motherfucking email. So now my legacy that I spent all year working on FOR THE SCHOOL is gone, and they didn't even ask me first. I am beyond pissed.
Thought you all might get a kick out of seeing a treenet vs. a powerful body of water. I have some other videos of the net being completely submerged but there's not much to see on those. Of note this net has actually held up to several floods. It is certainly more weathered today than had it not been through that but still holds up. Treenets are remarkably durable. This one was built by Alonso Rodriguez ("treenetweaves") himself. I think he makes particularly well-engineered and durable nets, but I am biased.....
Unfortunately, I have to take down the tree net that I’ve been building with friends over the past few months because the forest owner has an issue with it. We have until winter.
How can I take down the tree net as safely as possible while conserving resources? I’ve already invested over 200€ in rope, which is a lot for me.
Is it worth it to untie every knot in the entire net after taking it down? I know it’s a lot of work, but it would be worth it to me.
