Treehouse Net

After four months of planning and nearly 1 year after the start of construction the #wiltziustreehouse is officially finished. No screw is left unclocked, no piece of trim out of place, and no knot untied. It’s done!
The net was provided by netting.com at no charge as part of a contest winnings. It is a proprietary shrinking net. The design was reviewed and approved by an engineer and I did all of the construction and installation.

one of the best tree house build series I have seen on KZbin. Amazing. Hope to copy your methods one day.

[@samuelwiltzius]

Thanks! I recorded video so my kiddos could go back and watch it when they are older and hopefully think I used to be cool 😎

[@hairlessharescrambler56]

Usually its cold water that shrinks things 😆 awesome build👍

[@ignaciodepuig2505]

Not plastics or nylons

[@ZzzzZz-pk2yq]

This is unreal! Watched the whole build and loved it!

[@samuelwiltzius]

Thanks!

[@RetreatHacker]

[@welkerroad]

1:35 drop them in vinegar for 3 days then paint

[@chinitaperdida]

Woooo! Amazing

[@user-ct4ce1rl5y]

Looks good but you installed the cable clamps backwards

[@samuelwiltzius]

They are installed according to the guidance of a engineer who reviewed the materials and design. They are installed correctly.

[@imbatido]

Unreal man. I am copying it

[@jenniferwabasse9650]

You kinda look like my teacher Dave

[@theJonnymac]

awesome project, those stainless steel clamps at the end, where did you get those. I've been trying to find something like that.

[@samuelwiltzius]

They are left over from deck cabling hardware (spare pieces because I used screw eyes for attachment on the string lights instead) amzn.to/3yI05T8

Hello, New subscriber here. Cool tree house build, we plan to make one as well. Can you tell me where you purchased the big cargo net. We need one!

[@samuelwiltzius]

Thanks! The net is from Pucuda Netting (netting.com) and the net type is 'Shrining Net' - It is custom made to size. I found it very easy to work with them, just give them a phone call and go from there.

[@prasadbhangale]

Thanks for sharing this, it is very beautiful and inspiring. I am looking to have similar net in our backyard. What is the size of the shrinking net you’ve used?

[@samuelwiltzius]

My install is kite-shaped with a sides 7.5/8.5/18/15 feet with diagonals 11’ and 21.4’ - the actual net size prior to shrinking I’m not sure, that was left up to the engineers at Pucuda Netting.

[@prasadbhangale]

@@samuelwiltzius Thanks a ton, my trees are more sparse and make triangle of 45/50/20ft. I guess, the big size will make it pretty costly task.

[@RetreatHacker]

How has it held up? What would you do differently?

[@samuelwiltzius]

At this point it’s in excellent shape - I would not do anything differently. I wouldn’t mind the deck being slightly larger which would stretch the net surface area a bit but ultimately it’s still awesome as is.

[@bkpalos]

How much did it cost???

[@Sivakarthi2310]

Can you please let me know where I could get the brackets that attach the TABs to the Rope.

[@samuelwiltzius]

I fabricated them from 1/2” plate. A local metal supplier cut the pieces to size and I welded them at the desired angle. The holes were drilled using a Bridgeport milling machine.

[@hclchgm]

Shrinking rope?😮 where do I get that?

[@samuelwiltzius]

I think only Pucuda Leading Edge offers it.

[@hclchgm]

@@samuelwiltzius Thanks for the heads up appreciate it

[@handduggraverdronline]

Them brackets at the end are bout useless. Bet the snap at 2.5 KN

[@samuelwiltzius]

I worked with an engineer on the design. It’s overbuilt.

[@puaishibashi4396]

Aloha, mahalo for sharing, can you tell me where you got the cargo net from?

[@samuelwiltzius]

Pucuda netting, here is a link to the type of net I used: netting.com/amusement-park-netting/shrinking-nets/

[@doomguy584]

@@samuelwiltzius I like the little scale Model you built to help visualize the build that was pretty awesome I'll have to do that if I build anymore tree houses

[@CFCSvlog]

Where you get the net?

[@samuelwiltzius]

Pucuda Leading Edge - I worked with an engineer for the custom design and install.
