Wooo! finally a video strictly on tensioning a full loop. I think I ended up coming up with this same solution using ratchet straps as you said. but damn the pulleys looks so easy. personally a fan of the trucker's hitch for its self tensioning and easy release
I have been working on building a treenet myself. My first knot that I had to perfect was the Monkeys fist. It'll always have a special place in my heart
Alpine butterfly! Tying it around your hand is really fun and doing it without looking really helped me with visualizing and tracking how knots work/the rope travels
One of my favorite knots to use is the truckers hitch, you can technical.y use it for a tree net if you don't have any tools but it doesn't get a lot of tension
Ugh I love knots. In fact I believe you can fix [almost] anything with the right cord + knot. Mt favorite knot is, How Knot to Become a Lions Lunch. I'll have to show y'all soon. 10 points if you know this one. P.s thanks for the tutorials! Stoked!!
Favorite knot is wire pulling knot! Super similar to the prusik/autoblock/klemheist knots you use for the friction. May actually be the autoblock but slightly different. Have you heard of it before?
@@treenetweaves ohhh I see it’s not like the prusik/etc because it’s used with the end of a rope, not a closed loop. Essentially does the same thing as autoblock in the end though
Thanks so much for the video, it cleared up a couple of things for me! I saw a guy using the trucker's hitch to tension his perimeter. What's your thoughts on that? Have you ever tried it?
One handed clove is my favorite knot. Harbor freight has a 1200lb cable puller for $20 that is safer than trying to do the same thing with ratchet straps.
Heaving Line Knot is one of my favorites it’s pretty easy and I love the look. Not sure if you do work in New Jersey but I would love to have a tree net done by you, let me know if you’re up for a new project. Also I don’t have Instagram but if I did I would tag everyone I know. Love your videos and looking forward to hearing from you!
Do you have a video on your pulley setup or a how to make your pulley set up you use in the video. A treenet would be sweet at my camping spot on the river we kayak to.
When you pull the tension in, then let go, the slack just goes back to its semi original state. With this set up, are those capturing pullys? Perhaps could add a gri gri, or temporarily the tie off the pulley. Or what other ways can we keep that tension set? Especially with a solo rig. Thanks!
Dude, would you please use a different background sound for your videos? I’ve been watching back to back and the same jingle is literally driving me insane.. gonna keep watching but good god man, please. lol
Just so you guys know, you need to use at a minimum, 1 inch webbing to make the perimeter on the trees otherwise the rope will cut in to and damage the trees. Also, make sure you take your nets down every 5 - 10 years to keep them from killing the trees even if you use proper webbing. I've tried to explain this to him before but he is still teaching people improperly.
Thanks for your comment. All of the nets we build do NOT touch the trees. We use wood block spacers to ensure the tree can still properly get its nutrients. I would NOT recommend placing even 1 or even 2 inch webbing directly on a tree. This will still kill it.
This is the video I have been looking for for YEARS.
I started my rope life sailing so a Bowline is important to me.

I will admit that the pulleys are VERYYYY nice 😉😊

nice finally! thanks for the video. My favorite knot is the double fisherman knot, i really like it to connect 2 ropes
nice video! as a longtime sailor i love bowline knot and the clove hitch. as a treeclimber prusik knot helped me a lot!
Really like your work. I’m so inspired by you and started weaving. Many knots are awesome but I do enjoy the bowline, pretty useful in life! 🫶👊
I like the reef knot and the clove hitch I learnt them in scouts and they have stuck with me ever since my dream is to make a tree net in my garden.

Omg yayyyyy!! Thanks SO much for making this video!! I’ve been waiting for this from you for so long now 😍 you’re the boss!!
You are so welcome!
Thanks Alonzo ! This is what I was asking about a few months ago
I got you!!! 😊🙌🏼
Thank you Alonzo! Great that you are willing to teach others, even if it's part of your business.
My pleasure!
Omg perfect timing! Im at camp right now and was watching your other video
One of my favorite knots to use is the truckers hitch, you can technical.y use it for a tree net if you don't have any tools but it doesn't get a lot of tension
can't you double or triple truckers hitch to get more tension?
Love the video! personally I'm a big fan of the clove hitch. It's so simple and satisfying to look at.

P.s thanks for the tutorials! Stoked!!
This is the video I needed to see.
I used to braid bullwhips, so I liked the pineapple knot to cover the end.
Awesome!!!
very nice tutorial , finally! i gotta say i make myself laugh everytime i trick my friends with a slip knot xD
Finally. After gleaming the basics from your how to series this was the main thing I was wanting to improve upon. Thank you.
Of course! 😊🙌🏼
Alonso, you’re the bees knees man! 🐝🥳❤
Yaaaaaaasss!!! My favorite knot is the cowhitch...
I really like the trucker's hitch knot
My favourite knot is the bowline, it's easy, it's fancy, it hold well and can still be undone after puting a lot of tension on it!
Finally! Haha
Double fisherman’s knot for sure
Buterfly knot is my lersonal fave, although sheel shanks are lots of funt too
My favorite knot is definitely the alpine butterfly, so fun to tie 😁
muy buenos videos Alonso! Felicidades!
The cobra knot✊🏽 might not be the flashiest of knots but my dad taught me that knot
Butterfly knot is my favorite knot.
Favorite knot is wire pulling knot! Super similar to the prusik/autoblock/klemheist knots you use for the friction. May actually be the autoblock but slightly different. Have you heard of it before?
I’ve never heard of it! I’ll have to Google it 😊

Favorite knot is the Quebec variation of the double bowline .
This video is best 🤩i love your content. My favourite is clove hitch☺
Thank you! 😊
Thanks so much for the video, it cleared up a couple of things for me! I saw a guy using the trucker's hitch to tension his perimeter. What's your thoughts on that? Have you ever tried it?
That works pretty well if you don’t have pulleys 😊 It won’t work great for really large nets but it will work really well for smaller nets
One handed clove is my favorite knot. Harbor freight has a 1200lb cable puller for $20 that is safer than trying to do the same thing with ratchet straps.
Heaving Line Knot is one of my favorites it’s pretty easy and I love the look.

Hey! I absolutely do work in NJ! Let’s chat 😊 Send me your contact info and I’ll reach out to you 🙌🏼
my favorite knot is a simple box knot
Klemmheist is my way to go!
Do you have a video on your pulley setup or a how to make your pulley set up you use in the video. A treenet would be sweet at my camping spot on the river we kayak to.
Hey! I use a really efficient 5:1 pulley system with a 3:1 multiplier 😊 It’s pretty standard and you can buy this in many places!
Nice one!!
100% awesome skill thanks
No problem 👍
When you pull the tension in, then let go, the slack just goes back to its semi original state.
With this set up, are those capturing pullys?
Perhaps could add a gri gri, or temporarily the tie off the pulley.
Or what other ways can we keep that tension set? Especially with a solo rig.
Thanks!
These pulleys have a capture in it to hold all the tension but yes you are correct 😊 You need something that holds tension
Hi, would you ever use a truckers hitch to pull out tension?
Yes absolutely! It’s not as good as pulleys but it can get the job done in a pinch 😊
my favorite knot was the clove hitch until i had to tie probably 1000 of them for my 22x22x22 space net lol
Hahahahhaa nice! 👏🏽🤣
Clove hitch and dobble fisherman 🪢
Is it feasible to use something like a truckers hitch to tension the rope?
Yes absolutely! 😊 It works better for small nets but definitely works!
Will you define "small"?
if you just have rope and no gadgets, a rolling hitch will grip rope and tension it, or the old truck drivers load tying trick, the dolly knot
Good tip!! 😊
Sheetbend/Bowline
Couldn't you use a truckers hitch for a 'no-tools' effective way to tension?
Yes! 😊 Truckers hitch works better on smaller nets but 100% is a good option!
Fishermansknot🎉
I just had to take down my net because of the lack of tension, week earlier and I would have been fine hahahah
Oh noooooooo 😅 At least you know now haha
My favorite knot is the one i get when i mess up a shoe lace because its one of the only ones i remember 😅
