It would be amazing if you could do like a 5 minute supplementary to this one where you demonstrate the tensioning and then tying the knot so that you can release the tensioning system with minimal loss of overall permimeter tension.

It's great to get a recent update on this! My parents moved to a new house with some trees in the back that would be PERFECT for a little tree net setup. I'm thinking of doing two levels of triangles so people can just hang out together out there and I'm hoping I can do it myself. I'm a pretty crafty person so I think I can learn the techniques if there are detailed enough videos.

Man I wish you included footage of you tightening and then tying the ends together before releasing tension. Seems like the most important part. And a link to the pulley system you’re using! Would really help non climbers

It took me a day of researching general climbing stuff to get a better idea of what you’re talking about. Think I’m gonna go with a $15 ratchet strap and see how that goes lol that pulley system is nice and maybe eventually if I get more into climbing or slack lining I’d invest.

Or is that too much force for a prusik to reliably hold? Is there a line locking device that like clamps on? I see in my head now how I’ll use slings to attach to perimeter rope and crank tension.

Thank you so much for answering!! God bless you. I’m wondering about the little pieces of wood you put up to protect the tree. That wouldn’t be able to happen (in the crape myrtle) because it would be more like building a circle inside of one tree (verses connecting trees with ropes).

Can you cover the different ways to actually tension the perimeter. Specifically without any mechanical assistance. What kinds of knots you use and how you start/end the perimeter. I'm working on one now at ground level and I think it could've been tighter. I want my next layer to be done better.

@treenetweaves

You could maybe use a turn buckle to get tension without pulleys but I think some sort of mechanical advantage is necessary in getting it tight enough :) Use any knots that solidly join ropes together. I like the double fisherman’s and the double sheet bend personally 😊

Awesome videos, I think I have watched all your videos related to spacenets and trees… So ready as I am to start my tree net and weaving, I came to a budget problem. I am new to this “certified climbing rope” … I went to ebay/amazon to buy 12mm rope, and then 8mmfor the skeleton, and then 1500ft of paracord… all for a total of $100. I read about that rope being a scam… and so my proyect went up to $400 … I am in Colombia/southamerica… Can I use steel wire instead? And for the skeleton 8mm, and weaving with paracord… thanks in advance!

These can be very expensive but it’s well worth the investment… I’m sure steel wire is strong enough. I’m just worried that it’ll cause excessive abrasion to the rope that you tie to it. I can’t say for sure but the 8mm skeleton and paracord weave are definite yeses 😊🙌🏼

Why do you not recommend zinc ? My experience is that zinc plating steel massively helps corrosion. Which is exactly why it’s so popular in all types of engineering.

@treenetweaves

4 ай бұрын

It’s my understanding that anything outdoors should be stainless steel. Especially in areas that’ll see water… Zinc is much more susceptible to rust when exposed to moisture vs stainless steel which will last much much longer. It’s common practice in rock climbing to avoid zinc plated steel in permanent fixed hardware for this exact reason.

I think it depends on location tbh. I live in a moderate rain, high humidity, high salinity area and my experience has been that zinc corrodes pretty quickly. I think material choice is probably best chosen based on research for your personal area?
