Custom treenet structures, designed for real environments.
Every project is shaped by the site, the trees, and how people will move through the space. Below is a selection of recent treenet builds, each designed to balance safety, function, and connection with nature.
Rainforest Lounge in Bulli
This project involved the design and installation of a suspended treenet platform, adjacent to client’s deck structure. From the deck you climb into the net.
The net was woven using existent structures and the original tree layout, minimising impacts to the space.
Arthur was an absolute delight to work with, so polite, warm and hardworking.
We absolutely adore our new treenet. It has opened up a vibrant fresh space and opportunity for us to enjoy the beautiful nature that is on our doorstep, in our own backyard.
Every morning I sit up there and drink a cup of tea to start my day and it fills me with joy and serenity to be up with the birds in the tree foliage .
On the weekends, my husband Nick and I like to take a pillow out and nap in the treenet or read a book together enjoying the serenity. We feel very blessed to have received Arthur’s worksmanship.

View Platform to the Escarpment
This lovely treenet was designed and built to serve as a viewing platform to the property and to the cliffs up on the Escarpment.
The client has chosen Burgundy and Dark Olive paracord to blend in with the environment. Built as a more open treenet experience, this build focuses on free movement rather than a fixed path. The layout allows people to sit, pause, or move slowly through the net, creating multiple ways to engage with the surrounding environment.
Care was taken to balance stability with gentle movement, so the space feels responsive while remaining safe and comfortable.
The Treenet is 2.5m off the ground so We built a small rope ladder access to get up to the platform.
A custom treenet style Swing was also installed for the grand daughters to play on.
Arthur did an outstanding job setting up the treenet for us! His attention to detail and creativity transformed our space into something truly special. We couldn’t be happier with the result and highly recommend him for any future projects!

Quiet nook outside the house
This Treenet sits 2.5m off the ground and is placed behind the house for maximum privacy.
A large rope ladder has been woven for access, making it possible top enjoy ocean views from the top of the platform and resting moments under the canopies.
Our tree net is a super cool addition to our garden area by Arthur of Slackmate Weaves. Thanks so much for our awesome tree net, we’re so happy with it and stoked to be some of the first to have one of these made by you here in the Illawarra. Hours of fun, outdoor play, relaxation and appreciation of our bushy garden already. I highly recommend Arthur and his tree nets!

Best ocean view
This project was built 3m on top of a wooden platform, which elevates the treenet platform almost 10m off the ground.
It enables the owners to enjoy the ocean view to Coledale beach and 360 views to the property.
A lovely place to unwind and enjoy a cup of tea under the beautiful trees.
The tree net Arthur made us is like a work of art. Our kids love it, their friends love it and we love sitting up in the trees now with a book and cup of tea on the weekend. It was lovely getting to know Arthur as he was creating the net, and the end product is beyond anything we could have imagined!

A space to reconnect
We created a space where this beautiful family can get together and enjoy their backyard.
Different patters
We use different weaving patterns like the one pictured in the image above.
Tree Care
To avoid disrupting the tree’s nutrient supply, we use timber blocks to distribute the load evenly around the trunk’s circumference.
Attention to detail
Every detail of the build matters to us. It’s our way of ensuring safety, longevity, and respect for nature.
Weaving magic
This isn’t just a build—it’s a quiet collaboration with nature, shaped by hands that listen.
Creating with care
From bark to branch, we pay attention. Because building with trees means building with reverence.
