Luke: Wow! Do you have any other good stories about making rope nets? electronic group, Modestep, performed their new single Higher, while suspended over a one hundred foot drop. The net was shipped out to the mountains of Queenstown, New Zealand where the U.K. Together we built a spacenet that was around 20x30ft for Jaegermeister's yearly Ice Cold Gig event. August of 2017, I met up with Brian Mosbaugh and some of the Moab Monkeys. Will: I have had some pretty cool projects in this last year. Luke: What has been your favorite project or client?
Spacenet gym for free#
I try to use static rope when I can, but typically I get the dynamic for free from climbing gyms. The backrests and retaining walls require less paracord, but I still go through a few thousand feet wrapping around a 10x10ft grid.Īs far as rope goes, I typically use climbing rope for both the perimeter and for the interior structure of the net. I like to make the holes in the grid small enough, so that someone won't put their hand or foot through the net. A 10x10ft platform would use somewhere around 3-4 thousand feet of paracord. Will: The amount of paracord I use greatly depends on the dimensions of the net, as well as the size and number of backrests/retaining walls. Luke: How much paracord/rope goes into each of these nets? I've only been doing space nets for about a year now, so that number will drastically go up with festivals and other similar events this summer. Will: Over the last ten years, I bet I'm little shy of 100 treenets and close to 50 spacenets. Luke: How many tree nets do you think you have made? My standard triangle spacenets hold 1-2 people and are small enough to put in a backpack and rig up in in various places. I make a standardized spacenet hammock, which has three anchor points where I use ratchets straps to get the net to the proper tension.
