I’ve been binge watching all your videos from over here in Europe and plan to get going in the trees once spring arrives. First off thanks so much for all the super valuable info! I’ve known about space/tree nets for a long time (we probably know some of the same people from the highline/climbing/base jumping communities) but have just now gotten super excited about them thanks largely to discovering your content. I’m really interested to see how this progresses with such intense UV that you get. In particular I’m curious to see how the poly vs nylon paracord does. I’ve been reading up on this quite a bit as before investing in materials. Anyway… thanks again and very interested to see results! Cheers!
Same! I’m more interested to see how the perimeter rope does after many years in UV since Paracord in the treenets is EXTREMELY redundant anyway. But while we’re at it it’s good to check the Paracord too 😊
@ Just out of curiosity… have you noticed any significant difference in sheath deterioration on poly/nylon paracord on any of your clients nets or personal nets?
@@treenetweaves Thanks for the reply. 🙂 Good to hear you haven’t noticed any severe degradation. I ask because I’ve been reading a lot of conflicting statements concerning poly/nylon paracord longevity. Since the paracord, like the perimeter rope, get its strength from the core I’m mostly concerned with sheath covering properties which inevitably will end up being the deciding factor in overall integrity. At least I assume anyway. Thanks again!
Yes very true! I just want to see experimentally how the ropes do after 5-10 years. I’m thinking I’ll retire half of these frames in 5 and the other half in 10 to see how they do in a break test 😊
@@treenetweaves Also if you want you can put those test frames under an "intense" daylight like those use for growing indoor gardens and keep it on for 24 hours. Each day would be equivalent to 2 days. If you increase the intensity, it would be like each day would be 3+ days. So in 1 year under intense light for 24 hours a day, it would be like 4 years worth of "being" outside. Just a thought.
What would interesting is to somehow measure the forces put upon the static lines, but I don't think there's any way of doing that, not unless you had multiple tension force dynamometers,...but even still. 🤔

Can't wait for the net updates.
This channel is totally under-rated. Can't wait to build my own treenets this summer.
Thank you! 😊🙌🏼

@@XoshBitt Not yet.. Most of the nets I make I try to ensure that they’re properly shaded and not being torn up by the UV rays

Just started my first treenet couple weeks ago 👍👍
Sweet!!! 🙌🏼
@1:15 - Manufacturer say retire rope after 10 years. Alonzo recommend 5 years.

@@treenetweaves Maybe you can go to your previous clients and ask to check out their treenets and give updates on those in the meantime.

We do need to keep the cost of this experiment in mind@@lancemcque1459

Yeah that would be tough… I do plan to break test all the components in a 5-10 year lifespan!
