Indication only. This tool gives an estimate of the metres of cord and rope you need. The real amount depends on your weave, knots and tension, so order a little extra.

Paracord for tree nets

Everything about lengths, types and quality, in one place.

Which lengths are available?

Paracord 550 Type III comes in 10, 30, 100 and 300 metres (roughly 33, 100, 330 and 1,000 ft). For a tree net, the 100 m and 300 m spools are the smart choice: you need a lot of cord, and the bigger the spool, the lower the price per metre.

Spool, roll or bundle?

100 m and 300 m are supplied on a spool or roll: easy to store and to feed while you weave. Smaller lengths (10 and 30 m) come as a bundle. The packaging is listed on each product page.

Which paracord suits a tree net?

Paracord 550 Type III is the go-to choice: about 4 mm thick, seven inner strands and a breaking strength of around 250 kg (550 lbs). Thinner 425 Type II (about 3 mm) and 100 Type I (about 2 mm) are made for finer knotwork, not for a net you lie in.

How much paracord do you need?

As a rule of thumb, about 110 m of paracord 550 per m² at a 5 cm mesh. A 3 × 3 m net takes roughly 1,000 m. Smaller meshes take more. Want the exact number for your size and colours? Use the 3D tool.

Properties and quality

Paracord 550 is 100% nylon, both the core and the sheath. It is supple, colourfast and resistant to UV, moisture and mildew, so it holds up outdoors in the trees. The name comes from parachute cord, the job it was originally made for.

Perimeter rope is a different rope

The weaving is done with paracord, but the edge of the net carries the load to the trees. For that you use a static rope of 10–11 mm, not paracord. Always attach the net with load-rated hardware.
