Our Story

The net that changes everything.

TheFrenchNets started with a simple observation. Millions of patios and pergolas across the US sit empty all summer long. Not because people don't want to be outside. Because it's too hot, and everything built to fix that either traps the heat, looks cheap, or both.

We built something better.

Why TheFrenchNets

What makes us different.

We're not selling a net. We're selling the backyard you should have had from the start.

Built to a standard.

Every net in our catalog was chosen for wind resistance, UV hold, and how it actually looks on a real patio. No generic fill, no quality compromises.

No contractor needed.

Hung solo in under an hour. Our nets and hardware are built for homeowners, not construction crews. A pergola and two hands. That's enough.

A color for every backyard.

Sand, white, green, gray, black, blue, military. Each one chosen to fit a specific outdoor setup, not to work for everyone. To work for yours.

"Every summer it was the same thing. Too hot to stay outside, too nice to be stuck inside. TheFrenchNets fixed that for good."

What they did with their backyard.

I was afraid it would look cheap once it was up. Not at all. The way it sits with the beams is exactly what I had in mind. My father-in-law is a carpenter and he asked me where I got it.

We hung string lights under the net for summer nights. The look is insane. I had a question about the hardware before ordering and support got back to me in under an hour on a Sunday. That kind of thing matters.

Camille R.

The white against our cushions and the rose bushes behind it is exactly what we'd been looking for. The outdoor living room became the spot everyone wants to be. Even when it's windy it barely moves.

My yard has a lot of greenery so I needed something that blended in. The sand color is perfect. My friends thought we hired a landscaper. It's just a net but the effect is unreal.

Christine B.

Honestly did not expect it to look this good. On my pergola with the wood beams it just fits. Looks like it was always supposed to be there. My father-in-law asked where I got it the same day he saw it.

Not going to lie, the instructions took me a minute to figure out. Once it clicked it was easy. The blue in the garden looks really sharp. My wife wanted sand, we went blue, she's not complaining.

Old stone house, I didn't want anything that would kill the character. The charcoal gray blends in perfectly. Two summers in and it still looks brand new.

Verified

Christopher L.

Honestly the instructions lost me at first. My son helped and once you see how it goes together it makes total sense. The blue on the patio was a real surprise, in a good way. My wife wanted green, we went blue, nobody regrets it.

My yard has palms and heavy landscaping so I needed something that would blend right in. The sand color is perfect. The whole vibe feels like a resort now. My guests think we went all out on a designer.

Went up over the pool deck. The sand color works perfectly with the composite wood. We can actually eat outside at 2pm in July without dying from the heat. Worth every penny.

The look is something else. I reached out before ordering to ask about sizing and got a response fast on a Sunday.

Kate M.

Really happy with how it turned out. Installed it solo no problem. I just wished there were a few extra hooks in the package but picked some up at Home Depot no issue. Patio is finally usable all summer.

Alexander F.

Against the flower wall it's exactly what I was going for. Took a little effort to get it tight on my own but the result is there. Would do it again without thinking twice.

Sarah T.

Went back and forth between gray and blue for a while. Finally went blue against the stone wall and it hits different. Gives the whole space a Mediterranean feel we never had before. Solid build, clean finish, nothing to complain about.
