Looking for a climbing net

[StephenAndKyleigh]

Kyleigh, my B&G, asked me for a climbing net to go on the ceiling of her indoor aviary.

I'm not a DIY type of person, or else I would make one. But! I have a job and can buy one lol...Anybody have a credible place/person I can buy from?

I've made a few of them so far~ I could make you one...








Or you can check out stores like Mysafebirdstore.com or drsfostersmith.com

I'll PM you. Thanks!

I had mine made to order by these guys. Be sure and let them know what you are using it for, because they are a marine supply house.

"Pet quality" rope is different from marine grade rope.

Pacific Fibre & Rope

made Loki's myself, wouldn't recommend that route to anyone......

There's a couple different knots you can use, but it's definitely a challenging process!! Lol. After a few of them, you get the hang of it though...

I ordered from here.
Best Selection of Cut-to-Length Rope - Knot & Rope Supply

I left them a comment on the order to make sure everything was untreated and bird safe, they called me back personally to let me know they get a lot of orders for bird items and that it was safe, so I recommend them for sure. They also do custom orders, not sure about a cargo net.

I also use them, and their Manila rope is most definitely UNTREATED-- it even says so on their product description. [emoji41]

Here is the Fosters and Smith variety:

Yeah, it wasn't really the knots that got me. I used 3/4" sisal rope and that stuff is pretty coarse. I made a pretty big net and had to pull a lot to get the knots tight, so my hands were pretty chewed up when I was done.

You should see my hands after working with coconut fiber rope! It's like working with steel wool.

Yeah, it's pretty rough!! One time I decided to crochet a plant hanger out of sisal twine-- one word: blisters. That was pretty dumb, but the plant hanger is pretty cool! LOL

Manila IMO isn't as prickly as sisal, but it can still be rough to work with....

Tons of option! Thanks folks. I like the fosters one

I got these tie hangers from IKEA I was gonna tie a couple of them together with rope and use them for Leo as a climbing net.

I saw someone take an old soccer ball net and frame it with PVC piping to allow their mac to climb.

I have an Aronico and absolutely love it. Warning, keep in mind extra length for the drop arms. I got the large 8x4 and span across the entire bird room and still slacks close to the floor, just high enough she can't climb down.
