Creating a treehouse with a net
Table of contents
Among the equipment and tips for creating a raised garden shed, or a treehouse, the outdoor net is a practical and aesthetic solution.
Creating a net platform
Making a large platform out of solid wood can be expensive. In addition, large solid wood planks are heavy, which increases the load to be supported.
Using a catamaran net as a suspended floor lightens the weight of the construction and saves money on wood. The look of the treehouse becomes original and unique with this platform partly made of netting.
Securely attached to the joists and beams that form the structure of the treehouse, the suspended net is safe and very resistant to the weight of children.
Corderie Gautier's residential nets can withstand a load of 700 kg / m2.
Make sure to choose sufficiently strong wooden beams.
This airy floor formed by the net is very popular with children.
They can see through the meshes of the catamaran net and feel like they are suspended above the ground, almost as if they were flying between the branches of the tree.
Creating a net railing
To climb into the treehouse, or to move around it safely, it is highly recommended to install a railing.
The railing must provide real fall protection, but must also withstand bad weather and climatic hazards. Most often, expensive stainless steel railings are used outdoors.
An alternative that is both economical and very safe: the railing net.
The railing net secures the staircase used to go up and down the treehouse, as well as the balcony or platform.
The small, tight meshes of the net prevent children from passing even an arm or a leg. Toys, balls, and other soft toys will not pass through the meshes of the net either.
For parents, this is a guarantee of serenity, knowing that children can play without risking a bad fall.
Large treehouses for tourism
Tourism professionals who are lucky enough to own a large plot of land in a quiet and natural setting can also create a large treehouse to rent to holidaymakers.
The technical constraints are more numerous here, as the trees that will support the treehouse must be very large and robust. Old oaks, plane trees, or beeches are often preferred.
The outdoor net, whether used to form a floor or as a railing, is a real asset for tourism professionals.
Aesthetic, customizable in shape and size, very safe and weather-resistant, it allows for many layout and decoration ideas.
