My Climbing Net

Oh, I'm so proud of myself! I've been looking online for one but they're obscenely expensive. So I did a search on this board and found a link to some easy instructions on how to make my own.

It's my first attempt, I'm pretty sure can make an even nicer one next time. This one will do until then though.

Yay me! Yay Disco!

Very nice! A whole heck of alot cheaper than buying one. I like the way you hung it up. It looks good.

That's great! I need to try to make one of those. I certainly can't bring myself to buy one. I agree with you..."obscenely expensive". Nice job!

Thank you!

Here is the link on how I did it. I used sisal rope though and tried to make the spacing larger. I found this link on this very board, somewhere.

CPTT...lotsa knots

That's great! Thanks for the link I had some thick cotton rope lying around and made one too, the instructions were really easy and mine looks like crap at the top and all neat when I got the hang of it at the bottom. Next one I'll plan out better, what a fun activity though (ow my fiingers!). When my grey deigns to use it in a month or so maybe I'll take pictures heh. I probably should have just made myself a hammock. Thanks for the idea! I kind of want to hang fish from mine.

That's really awesome! I would love to do something like that, but I swear Poppy is such a sissy about "rope"! I paid what I feel was a lot of money for a boing & he is petrified of it!

I am very impressed. I have no hope I could do it though.
