Hang your net in under an hour.

Measure your space.

Grab a tape measure. Get the length and width of the area you want covered. Write both numbers down. Add about 4 inches on each side, that's your attachment margin so the net hangs taut without pulling tight.

Find your anchor points.

Look around your space. Wood beams, posts, a wall, any solid structure works. If you already have a pergola or existing frame, you won't need to drill anything.

Hook the corners first.

Attach all four corners of the net to your anchor points using your ratchet ropes or hardware kit. Don't tension yet, get all four corners secured before you start adjusting the pull.

Pull it flat.

Tension corner by corner until the net lies flat with no sag. Then add zip ties every 20 inches along the perimeter. A tight net stays put in the wind. If it's flapping, it needs more tension.

You're done. Get outside.

Under an hour. No contractor. No drill. Your patio is covered, air is moving, and you finally have a place to be outside in the middle of August.

Your patio. Before and after TheFrenchNets.

Full sun, unusable for the summer. Same space, same furniture. One reinforced camouflage net hung on a Saturday morning. That's all it took.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
