Illawarra based. Sydney and Interstate projects by request.
What are TREENETS?
SlackMate Weaves creates custom Treenets—handmade from durable rope and paracord—that transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary elevated platforms. Perfect for lounging, playing, or simply reconnecting with nature, a Treenet brings a unique outdoor experience right into your backyard.
Each treenet is designed around your trees, your space, and how you want to use it. Whether it’s a backyard hangout, a kids’ adventure zone, or a quiet spot to read above the ground — it’s made to fit.
- Transform your garden into a stunning retreat.
- Create playful spaces for families and kids.
- Transforming a space in your backyard which wasn't given much thought into a lounge heaven.

Built for kids (and adults too)
Treenets create a space where kids can climb, swing and explore — while adults can relax, lie back and enjoy the view. The flexible rope structure moves with you, making it just as fun for play as it is for unwinding in the backyard.
Custom design, every time
No two treenets are the same. Each installation is designed around the trees, space and purpose of your backyard. The rope patterns, size and tension are all created on site to suit the environment and the people who will use it.
A real backyard feature
More than just play equipment, a treenet becomes a standout feature in your yard. Suspended between trees or posts, it creates a unique space that invites people to climb up, hang out and spend more time outdoors.
Made to be used. Not just looked at.
A treenet changes how people use a space — it becomes the hangout, the play zone, the “let’s go outside” reason.
FAQs
What are treenets made from?
Treenets are made from Static Rope and Paracord 550. We also use trees and structures as our reliable anchor points.
Are treenets safe and strong?
Treenets are incredibly strong and built with safety as a top priority. Each strand of static rope is rated to hold up to 1,500 kg, and every string of paracord is rated to 250 kg, creating a structure that’s both resilient and reliable.
There is no fixed weight limit—the strength of each Treenet is ultimately determined by the anchors that support it. When installed correctly, you can trust your Treenet to safely hold multiple people with ease.
How long will an outdoor treenet last ?
We estimate that an outdoor Treenet Platform can last between 5 to 6 years, though its longevity can vary depending on several environmental factors.
One of the biggest influences is UV exposure. Australia has some of the highest UV levels in the world, which can accelerate wear over time. That’s why it’s especially important to choose a location with partial shade or natural protection, helping to extend the life and beauty of your Treenet.
Do treenet installations hurt trees?
No — when done correctly, Treenet installations are designed to be tree-friendly.
We take great care to protect the health and integrity of each tree involved in our builds.
We use tree-safe strapping, static rope, anchor points and wide-load distribution methods that allow the tree to continue growing and moving naturally without long-term damage.
How much does a Treenet Cost?
The cost of a Treenet Platform can vary depending on several factors, including size, location, access, materials, and the specific vision you have in mind.
As a general guide, smaller projects start from $2,500 AUD, with pricing tailored to reflect the unique needs and preferences of each client.
