This was very well structured and the step by step set up was extremely easy for me to understand. Thank you very much. 👍🏻
Glad it helped!
At first, I thought this was a stupid idea, but you convinced me. Selfmade with the desired qualities and properties: size, elasticity, material. Just buy the rope and make it in the size you need. One could search for weeks in the shops around to find what one wants. Well done. You encouraged me to reengage in DIY ... Thx a lot!
Thank you for the instructions! Especially feeding the ropes through each other. Custom-sized net, 50x90cm (6x12 ropes; bought 30m rope overall), made by complete novice in 1 1/2 hours :) came out quite symmetrical, even though I made it on the living room floor and not in such a cool workshop as you have. Good to keep in mind that the knots take up a LOT of rope length.
Best tutorial out there. Clear and precise. Only missing the instructions of how to calculate the amount of rope to buy, but it can be figure out. Thank you!
my best bet would be to tie a knot, mark it when it starts and ends, unravel the knot and measure the length of rope between both markings ;)

Inspiring. Thanks for doing all the prework for me. Greetings from Holland

Excellent video.. You made a great short video and made it look a great simple and so easy to follow.... Straight to the point
Thank you - hope it helps
Very informative tutorial ! Thank you, greetings from the Czech Rep.

Thank you. It's not that hard - just takes a bit of patience :-)
O melhor tutorial, rápido e objetivo!! Muito obrigada ❤️❤️
Great thank you so much! Will most likely be super useful to me on the future. Thanks again brother
Glad it was helpful!
Very happy to have found this video. Am I the only one who saw that the size of the toddlers head will fit through the square?
this is literally perfect thanks for posting
Glad you like it!
I made a net for my African grey and my macaws and they loved it thank you so much!! :)
Glad I could help!
Hello there! Thanks, I greet You from Puebla Mx. Clear and easy, have a great day.
Thanks, you too!
Very clearly done and interesting
Glad you enjoyed it
Perfect instructions. Except, how do I get one of those two legged creatures at the end?
Спасибо, всё понятно и отлично сделано! Красивая малышка)
Thanks, will be making this for my toddler soon.
Wonderful! Have fun
Great.thanks for your helpful video..
Awesome! Thanks Mak. So how much longer do you make the rope lengths than finished lengths desired? Knots must use up more than you think...
Measure your rope before and after tying a knot. Multiply the difference by how many squares down you need.
@@fckmunch great thinking thanks
Hi, thanks for the great video! Did you splice the horizontal or the vertical runs and does it matter which one to splice?
Doesn't really matter. Ideally you would do them all!
Good luck 👍🤝🙏
I love this. Thank you
Thank Sher
Thankyou! Made a net for my daughter
Nice Work!!
Thanks for the visit
can you upload a video for how to make an elastic baggage
So great thank you so much
Most welcome 😊
I'd not seen that done before. 2:39 is that claret all over the ruler?! 😬
Dude...that homemade clamp was off the chain yo! lol Thx for sharing! Is there a materials list?
It’s like watching a macgyver episode! Nice job!
Perfect!
How long did the manila last out in the elements?
No fluff? clear concise information? consider myself subscribed. Ah, and I see in your video library you like steampunk too, I reckon I'll be sticking around for quite a while ;) If you haven't heard of the web "comic" (really more of a graphic novel in my mind) " girl genius " you might enjoy it.
Thanks - I'll check it out
How would you do the finish loops if you didn't have or used any wire?
Leave enough length and use an eye splice. I didn't leave enough, so that's why I resorted to the wire!
Well done video however, why not splice the ends as it's stronger?
I didn't quite leave enough rope to do the splicing so I had to improvise!
rather than the end clamps an eye splice would be easier, if you use the metal clamps then it should have a binding over it
Yep, but rope was too short :-|

👏👏👏👏
I can't understand how to connect the two robe
What rope did you buy?
It's 10mm jute rope that I purchased via ebay
podrian especificar los materiales usados. gracias
rope, wire and some electrical tape
Can adults climb too?
Only if you want to
Fire pole for tree house
could be used for that!
You wouldn't want to make me one of these and I'll pay you right?
I have 500 MT cargo net rope
Great tutorial for the cargo netting, but its a really stupid solution to tie a hitch on the end of your ropes ends with a wire. Overengineered and slow, just tie a knot on the end geez louise
Yea but I just didn't leave enough rope on the ends for splicing or tying a knot - so I improvised1
glitch @ 1:50
Sorry but I think there is a serious risk of strangulatio or hanging with a small child whose head can go through the mesh.
Valid concern, personally Id just make the mesh small enough to prevent that.
I agree you could adjust the netting but also you could just watch your kids.....we played one these as kids and no one ever got strangled.
You'd be better off to Splice those Eyes, as apposed to Clamping them... A Splice is Stronger & Faster...
Yep, but I left the tailing rope too short so I had to improvise :-)
Don't put any metal clamps
Make my nets notless
