Supremely ploppable couch
Really pleased with the way this couch turned out, very comfortable, very ploppable. Most walls in Monkeyhouse treenets can have a Monkeycouch woven in them. If you get all bounced out from monkeying around in the rest of the net and feel like chilling, they're great for that.

Magical entrance...
Here's the entrance to the newest monkeyhouse with a really cool curvy, climbable floor/wall combination. You can also see the new style of blocks that we're using to protect the materials we use and the trees that we install the nets on.
These blocks are really important to not only prevent scarring on the trees but also extend the life of the nets.
How do like this entrance and our new blocks? Let us know in the comments 👇

Finishing touches take a while...
All the last pieces of cord that go into a net can definitely be the most time-consuming, but like most crafts, that's where the attention to detail really begins to shine.

First monkeycouch sold!
I miss it being in the backyard like it is here, it really is my favorite morning coffee spot, but it's in a happy new home, and I'll also be weaving a new one again soon.

Final cord in a floor...
If you don't mind or even actually like tedious work, those parts for you. Finishing out of floor (the densest part of a tree net) can take quite a while, but if you're willing to get lost in the details it can be quite enjoyable.

What's your favorite thing about your craft?
This is one of my favorite rhythms to get into when I'm weaving. The way the hands start moving when it finds the right line to weave is just so fun.

Do you have a favorite knot?
There's just a handful of knots (and hitches) required to make a tree net, and everyone has their preferences on which ones are the best and their favorites. This one is up there for me. Points to the person that knows what it's called

It's all in the details...
Can't tell you how many times I wanted this in nets before I started building my own, so I figured out how to do it for monkeyhouses.

Great place to lounge
This Grove of trees was so perfect for a net, this is going to be a really good spot for these clients to chill out and lounge under the oaks.

Fun times weaving with friends...
It's silkworm season in Texas and they're gonna show up a lot while i'm weaving.
