Disclaimer:
These plans are designed to be used in conjunction with the step by step text instructions of this model that can be found here: playgroundideas.org/designs/. The intended use of the designs available on these plans and the website is to provide ideas for the construction of playground equipment from local and/or recycled materials. They may, or may not, be suitable for your purposes. Further, specialised knowledge may be required to construct safe playground equipment based on these designs-for example, engineering knowledge to allow selection of appropriate strength materials for the purposes to which those materials are put, or playground layout expertise to avoid layouts which might cause risk of injury to users. The use of local and/or recycled materials carries inherent risks. Before using recycled materials in playground construction you should consider the source and properties of the materials (strength, contaminants, splintering risk, etc) and whether they are fit for use in a playground. Improper construction and use of playground equipment may cause death or injury. Please refer to the Playground Ideas Playground Safety Handbook here: playgroundideas.org/handbooks/.

[@razvantamasanu3909]

well done! thanks

[@nirogav4627]

Good on you mate nice explanation

[@norakeuyeuy9527]

I remember make net like this in the high school

[@graemej2599]

Using the knot as shown, the vertical line can move sideways along the horizontal line. To make a neat square you always will need to make adjustments to the vertical rope.

[@tom95521]

Did you have problems with the vertical ropes sliding sideways? Would a Chinese Crown knot be a better choice?

[@kmonnier]

Have a great day

[@playgroundideas]

you too

[@christinepowers4975]

What material is the rope made out of?

[@playgroundideas]

the strongest rope you can find! try going to markets that sell equpment for fishing boats and nets as these often have good quality rope.
