CUSTOM NET INSTALLATIONS
What are your lounging nets made of?
We use 3/8-inch static rope (rated to 4,000 lbs) and 550 paracord for the custom weave pattern. All materials are UV-resistant and weather-durable, designed to last in outdoor environments.
How are the nets attached?
Nets are securely anchored to trees, platforms, posts, or structures using professional rigging hardware that minimizes impact to the environment. We assess each site carefully to ensure safety and long-term integrity.
Are your nets safe for kids?
Yes! Our nets are designed to be strong and secure. We can customize the design for child safety, including higher sidewalls, smaller weave spacing, or softer rope blends. Always supervise young children during use.
How much weight can the nets hold?
Our nets are incredibly strong. A standard full-size net can comfortably hold several adults at once— well over 1,000 lbs in distributed weight. We adjust the rigging and support system based on your specific site and needs. In a nutshell each net is as strong as it anchors.

ZIP LINE INSTALLATIONS
Do you build zip lines?
Yes! We design and install zip lines for residential properties, retreats, and eco-adventure sites. This can include water landings, tree-to-tree rides, or zip lines that start from elevated platforms.
Are your zip lines safe?
Safety is our top priority. All components meet professional adventure park standards. We use rated cable, harnesses, and braking systems, and every install is tested thoroughly before use.
Can we combine a net and zip line?
Absolutely! We love creating full adventure builds. Many clients choose to pair a lounging net with a zip line, rope ladder, or swing for a fully immersive outdoor setup.

Keep in mind this is a handwoven piece of art, and is very time consuming to create. Given the complexity of each project, there are many variables that factor into the cost of your web. We work endless hours to complete you vision of your elevated space.
What’s included in a build?
Every project includes:
• A custom design tailored to your space
• Professional materials + rigging hardware
• Full installation by Shane and Kelsey
• Optional add-ons (lighting, access ladders, water entry points, zip-lines, hammocks, swings etc.)
How do I book a project?
Start by filling out our Contact Form. We’ll follow up to schedule a consultation, discuss your vision, and provide a detailed quote. A materials deposit is required to secure your project on our calendar.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance, especially during busy seasons. Last-minute bookings may be possible depending on travel and material availability.
What if I don’t have the perfect trees?
No problem! We can build custom posts, deck attachments, or platforms to support the net—no trees required.

MAINTENANCE & CARE
How long do the nets last?
With proper care and darker colors, our nets last 7–10 years or longer. We use UV-stable rope and rigging designed for long-term outdoor use and tree longevity. High-traffic installations (like resorts) may need touch-ups or tightening over time.
Do you offer maintenance services?
Yes. We offer annual checkups, re-tensioning, cleaning, or upgrades. Let us know if you’d like to set up a maintenance schedule for your net or zip line.
Can the net stay up year-round?
Yes! In Hawaii’s climate, our nets are built to stay up through sun and rain. For other locations, we may recommend seasonal care tips.
