Cottage Renovation in Canada
If you’re doing a cottage renovation in Ontario, Quebec, or anywhere in Canada, making the best use of space will probably be one of your top priorities. In fact, it will probably be your very highest priority. Making astute use of interior nets can be a cost-effective way to get the most out of literally every inch of space. Here is a quick guide to what you need to know.
From boat to cottage renovation in Canada
Boat-builders have long had to squeeze every last little bit of functionality out of small, often awkward, spaces. Modern interior designers and home-goods manufacturers have learned a lot from them. This is probably most obvious in the “tiny house” niche. It is, however, becoming increasingly important for the design of regular homes, particularly cottages.
One of the major challenges of many renovations is that you often need to strike a balance between respecting the history of the home and bringing it up to date. This is particularly true of cottage renovations as cottages were often designed with awkward layouts. On the one hand, these are often part of their charm. On the other hand, they can really limit functionality.
Custom nets from Feelnet are often the ideal way to square this circle. They can be used horizontally or vertically. You can have them tight to create a firm surface or loose to create a more “hammock-like” effect. Custom nets from Feelnet can even be used outdoors. For example, if you want to create an “indoor/outdoor” environment, they can be a great option.
Why nets have become so popular for cottage renovation
Nets fit perfectly into the modern need for flexibility and adaptability. They are robust but give the impression of lightness. They are also very cost-effective. Custom nets from Feelnet are much more economical than many other options such as metalwork or drywall. This means that they can be used as either temporary or permanent solutions.
Another reason why nets have become popular is that they can be much easier to install than other options. Essentially, you just fix the net to a wall (or other robust structure). You can therefore completely avoid heavy-duty installation work.
Using nets horizontally for home improvements
When you use a net horizontally for a cottage renovation, you effectively create a mezzanine floor. This type of flooring isn’t strong enough for standard household furniture. It is, however, more than strong enough for cushions and even futon mattresses. This means that it can be used for seating and sleeping.
It is perfectly safe and comfortable to walk on. Not only is it very strong, but it’s also fixed tightly. You can therefore walk across it in the same way as you would walk across regular flooring. Adults should avoid vigorous movement on nets (e.g. dancing) but younger children can play on them safely. In fact, nets have become very popular for creating play areas for children.
Vertical nets as a safety barrier
Using nets vertically has become a popular way to create a light but safe barrier. This could be for safety (e.g. a guardrail) or just to zone off a space. Nets combine openness with clear divisions. This means that they offer an attractive balance of connectedness and privacy. This can be used in many ways.
For example, you could use nets to create a temporary division in a bedroom. This could be used to allow parents to stay beside their children or siblings to stay beside each other. All occupants would, however, still have a decent level of privacy. As time passed, the configuration could be updated if necessary.
Alternatively, you could use nets to zone off part of a family room to create a home office. Again, this would allow the person in the office to keep an eye on the people in the family room (or vice versa). At the same time, however, the person working would still have their privacy.
Using nets outdoors
Probably the most obvious use for nets outdoors is as barriers, typically for safety reasons. For example, if you have a balcony, then you need some kind of protection against falls. Nets have become very popular for this as they are strong enough to be safe but light enough to be open. Vertical nets are also often used to section off areas where people play sports and games.
You can, however, also use nets horizontally for cottage renovation. For example, you could use them to create the floor of a balcony. Although this would stop you from using standard furniture, it would offer a very different and more engaging experience. You would be able to see the ground underneath you and appreciate its beauty.
How does the living net give your home a holiday feel?
A living net on your mezzanine for more comfort in your home
For many of us, holidays are synonymous with relaxation, well-being and softness. Unfortunately, these blessed moments only last for a short time. But it is possible to give your home a holiday feel all year round. Through decoration, by bringing more and more light into your home, and the living area can contribute enormously to this permanent holiday feeling.
How do you do it?
A net with soft materials
Contrary to what you might think, Feelnets is made from materials that are strong but soft to the touch. The materials Feelnets uses for its indoor nets have been designed to be as comfortable as possible.
For example, our 30x30mm Polyester, available in white, grey, beige or black or 13x13mm (bench or black) is a knotless braided mesh that allows you to lie down like on a giant deckchair. Like a soft bed, your living net is an ode to relaxation and chill...
A living net with a soft design
In mezzanine nets, it is not only the material that is soft, it is also the visual aspect. After all, living nets have their origins in catamaran nets. These beautiful boats are often synonymous with holidays and good times. More or less unconsciously, house nets therefore offer a design that immediately soothes and makes you want to rest (or just relax), to stroll around...
A mezzanine living net for even more freedom
One of the joys of the holidays is the feeling of freedom from the rest of the year.
And this freedom can be found in the house net in many ways. Inspired by the nets found on boats, the house net carries this air of freedom from the start.
The house net is also, in essence, an invitation to freedom. Freedom to be placed wherever you want, for a start. After all, custom-made house nets such as those offered by Feelnets only need a solid frame to be set up. But they can be stretched indoors, outdoors, horizontally, vertically and to any size you want.
A house net also means the freedom to let your children play, freely and safely, while keeping a watchful eye on them. In fact, in this article on Why house netting is a great idea for children, we explained that young children love to use indoor netting as an extra play area, allowing them to be close to their parents while playing to their heart's content.
Bring light into your home with a mezzanine net
The other "holiday" advantage of the house net lies in its structure itself. Simply made of ropes, more or less fine and with a more or less tight mesh, the indoor net necessarily lets a lot of light through.
Indeed, one of the great advantages of indoor netting is its natural transparency. Unlike a wooden partition, a concrete wall or a floor, living netting will naturally allow light to pass through, while at the same time being able to support the weight of human beings and act as a mezzanine in an empty space, for example.
And, as explained in this Santé Magazine article on the effect of light on our health, this additional luminosity has positive biological effects on sleep, mood, memory, learning capacity, immunity, etc. More light makes you happier and offers relaxation in your daily life, similar to that of a holiday.

Buying Guide for Trampoline Net for Nautitech
Nautitech is an essential French shipyard for all boat enthusiasts.
One of the largest shipyards, especially for catamarans, Nautitech was the first to create a saloon and cockpit on the same level to create a true open space.
Where to Find or Rent Nautitech Catamarans?
Many rental companies around the world offer Nautitech brand catamarans for rent.
They can be found in the Mediterranean basin, the Caribbean arc, or the Indian Ocean.
Companies like Dream Yacht Charter and Sunsail have and have had the famous Nautitech 82 in their fleet. This catamaran is specially designed for day trips or cabin charters.
Like its counterparts, Nautitech has managed to align a wide range of catamarans, from 39 feet to 54 feet. It's a shipyard that renews and offers catamarans even more adapted to demand.
Feelnets, which is a partner and supplier for the largest boat rental companies in the world, manufactures second-hand nets for all Nautitech boats worldwide.
Does Feelnets Make Nets for Older Models?
Nautitech has been building catamarans of various sizes for many years.
Some slightly older models like the Nautitech 395, Nautitech 441, Nautitech 442, or the Nautitech 495 are still sailing. Feelnets therefore has all the plans for making and replacing nets, for both new and old models.
Which Net to Choose?
Generally, Nautitech owners of 39 to 47 feet request and equip their catamarans with 30x30mm or 13x13mm mesh.
This is also the mesh we use to equip catamaran rental companies. It's also the material we recommend for transats.
The large ones like the 75 and 82 feet replace the trampolines with PVC mesh492 from Serge Ferrari.
This material is extremely resistant, the edges are welded and sewn to obtain greater resistance over time.
We offer trampolines with either the option of eyelets all around every 150mm.
Or the option with a sleeve and passage for a rod. This is recommended for 82-foot models, for example, or other large catamarans.

A Safety Net for your Home
We all want our homes to be safe, comfortable, relaxing spaces where we can enjoy quality time with our families and friends. Many of us are conscious of hazards in our homes, which can increase the risk of accidents and injuries. If you’re looking for ways to enhance safety and keep your family safe, it’s an excellent idea to consider investing in a safety net. In this guide, we’ll explore some common uses of safety nets and outline the benefits they offer for homeowners.
For most of us, there’s no place like home. Our homes should be sanctuaries that make us feel safe, happy and calm. Sadly, our homes can harbour hazards and there is a risk of accidents and injuries, particularly if you have an apartment or a house with balconies, you have a swimming pool outside or you have young children and lots of staircases or mezzanine levels. Safety nets are designed to reduce the risk of accidents at home, providing peace of mind and extra protection for parents and homeowners.
How to use a safety net in your home
Safety nets provide barriers and additional protection in parts of the home that may pose a high risk of slips, trips and falls. Here are some popular uses of safety nets:
Make your balcony safe
Balconies are a stunning feature and they enable you to enjoy views and embrace al fresco living but they can be dangerous. If you have balconies on the upper levels of your home or you have an apartment with a balcony garden, you may be worried about the risk of falls, particularly if you have children. A balcony with safety netting will reduce the risk of falls from height while also providing additional security benefits and allowing the entire family to enjoy spending time together outdoors.
If you are a parent, you will probably have been in a situation where your heart rate has risen sharply while on holiday or visiting friends who have a balcony. Balconies are intriguing for kids and it can be incredibly fun to hang out together and soak up the sunshine. The trouble is that balconies carry a risk of falls and everybody’s worst nightmare is to see somebody slip. A safety net balcony is an excellent option for homeowners who have a balcony. With safety netting, you can make your balcony childproof and protect adult visitors too.
When choosing a safety net for your balcony, take time to double-check the measurements for a perfect fit, explore design options and opt for high-performance, quality materials.
Pool and trampoline safety netting
There are few things that are more fun than bouncing around on a trampoline or splashing around in the pool on a sunny day. Unfortunately, both trampolines and swimming pools can be dangerous, especially for young children.
Trampolines have become incredibly popular and they provide endless hours of fun for children and adults alike. While falling is part and parcel of the experience, there is a risk of falling off the trampoline without the relevant safety measures in place. If your child slips, or they misjudge their landing and they fall onto the ground, they could sustain severe injuries. Safety netting is a simple, effective means of keeping kids safe when they are bouncing and preventing them from falling off the protective mat.
Having a pool is wonderful but if you’re a parent, there may always be a nagging voice in your head that makes you anxious about your children being around the pool. Accidents can happen in an instant and the consequences of falling into a pool can be devastating. Pool nets are a brilliant idea for holiday homes and residential properties with swimming pools and Jacuzzis. Nets are a deterrent for young children and they also provide a safe surface if a child does crawl or try to jump into a pool.
Fencing and stair railing
Walking up and down the stairs may be second nature to adults, but if you have small children or you have family members with mobility issues or conditions that affect their balance, the staircase can be a major hazard. Falling and slipping on the stairs are among the most common types of household accidents. If you feel nervous every time your child goes near the stairs or you’re looking for effective ways to make your home safer for older relatives, for example, using safety nets is an excellent idea.
You can use safety nets to provide additional, more robust protection for landings, stairwells and staircases that have floating steps or open sides. Netting will prevent accidents and ensure that bodies are cushioned in the event of a slip or trip to lower the risk of serious injuries. Parents can also use netting as a means of blocking off staircases they don’t want their children to use and a deterrent that discourages playing on the stairs. For young children, climbing the stairs is an adventure but no parent wants the staircase to become the play area of choice in the home.
In addition to safety netting for staircases and stairwells, safety net security can also be beneficial for outdoor areas and parts of the home you may be keen to restrict access to or block off. Fencing nets provide additional security, enforcing barriers and boundaries to keep children and pets safe and prevent them from escaping. Nets can also deter people from wandering onto your property and provide more privacy.
Feelnets: A custom safety net designer for your home
We all want our homes to be safe havens and it’s particularly important to prioritise safety when you have children or pets. Safety nets for the home provide an effective solution for reducing the risk of accidents, such as slips and falls, and keeping people safe. Whether you have a swimming pool, a balcony or staircases you’re keen to keep young children away from, using safety nets to childproof your home and keep adult visitors safe can help you turn your home into a secure sanctuary and lower stress and anxiety levels.

10 ideas to optimize your living space
The house net has been one of the major trends in decoration, indoor architecture, and to optimize your living space. The solid rope is stylish and secure, and can be used horizontally or vertically, as a trampoline or a catamaran net. Thanks to its ever-growing success, it can be found in many homes, hotels and companies. Where can you set it up? For what type of space? Feelnets, custom net maker, brings you ten ideas to improve your indoor and outdoor spaces with a house net.
1. Filling an empty mezzanine space and gaining more surface
This is the most common way to use an indoor house net. When you create or convert a floor in an existing house, it’s not always easy to add a new stairway. And when you’re a family, you want to keep everyone together in the house (even more when you have children), to be with the kids when they play, or relax above your head.
The house net is an easy way to create a mezzanine. It can be set up in any empty space. It can be a playground, a leisure place, and a connecting device all in one. Moreover, the hung mezzanine let the air and the light through.
Discover ourFeelnetscustom-made productions.
2. Creating an extra playground for children to optimize your living space
As soon as your house net is hung, be ready for your children to storm in, and set up camp. As a real indoor trampoline, the house net has an undeniably fun side. It’s also a safe playground where you will be able to watch over your children from another part of the house.
Feelnets, expert in custom-made house nets, produce many net playgroundsthat you can discoverhere.
3. A partition in your living environment that lets the light through
There is a large living space in your house, and you want to clearly define the practical aspects of your room: office, living room, kitchen, leisure area… However you don’t want to lose interactions with your family and you want the light to flow everywhere. Rather than add a closed partition, a large piece of invasive furniture or a rather expensive studio window, setting up a horizontal house net will allow you to optimize your living space in a flexible way.
You can make up your mind by visiting our page room partitions with horizontal nets. Discover our photos.
4. A house net to secure your interior: railing for a mezzanine or an open floor
Whatever type of mezzanine you have, very often you will need to use a railing to prevent falls. You can choose between wood, steel, glass, cables, aluminium… or rope! Your railing can be a tensed net over the whole horizontal surface, with maximal security, as nobody will be able to climb above (unlike “traditional” railings).
This railing can also be used over a regular railing frame if you don’t want it to be too obvious.
Discover our railings creations here.
5. A unique railing for your terrace
House nets can also be used outside. They are the ideal choice to secure a terrace, preventing falls without blocking the view. Set up a wooden, concrete or steel frame on your terrace and add a net to it and you will have a unique and secure railing, with tensed weatherproof rope.
Feelnets is also acatamaran net expert, that’s why all our nets are sun-proof, and durable.
6. Stair railings
Sometimes design and family life can be unhappy bedfellows. For example, a hanging staircase can be very dangerous for small children. To avoid ruining a beautiful design we suggest a house net railing. Covering the whole open side of your staircase, it will provide absolute safety.
Discover photos of Feelnets staircase railing creations.
7. A giant hammock, close to your swimming pool, and over your terrace
Cosiness is one of our hung nets greatest assets. You can create a giant custom sized hammock, to lie down in and read or relax. It’s particularly enjoyable on a terrace, near a swimming pool. It can be set-up on any frame, and could be embedded in a wooden terrace.
Feelnets provides custom-made nets for many hotels, which discreetly blend into the landscape. Our outdoor mesh is knotless to provide superior comfort.
8. Set-up your home cinema with a house net
Don’t know what to do with your empty space upstairs? Why don’t you turn the floor into an indoor house net? Why don’t you use that large white wall alongside it as a luxury cinema screen? Just a small change turns this place into a cosy home cinema and an extra leisure space inside your house!
9. An extra bedroom for your guests thanks to your house net
There’s always a need for an extra bed. If a mezzanine net can be a playground, a leisure place or a home cinema, it can also become an extra bed when you have guests. Becoming multihull sailors for one night, they’ll just need a cosy blanket to sleep soundly!
10. A railing for bunk beds
Many parents go for bunk beds, or hung beds with a playground or a desk underneath, to save space in children’s rooms. To make it look like a cocoon you can close it with a plank, but if you want to make it light, cosy, secure and breathable go for a horizontal net.
Feelnets creates and sets-up custom-made house nets to optimize your living space.

TRENDING: The Hammock Floor brings new Interior Design Ideas
Creating a relaxing home has always been a difficult task to accomplish without any blemishes. If you want a home to have more natural light, you may need to have larger windows, which costs more in heating bills. If you would like to make a zone whereby it is great for leisure, then you’ll need to invest a lot of money in specialist decor items. Yet, there are some new interior design ideas that could sort of all this out without much fuss. In Canada and the US, the hammock floor is taking the home design industry by storm. It's affordable, easy to use, easy to install and is fantastic for a home with an open floor plan. Let’s take a look at just some of the benefits of having a giant hammock floor that can maximize your floor space, and make it functional.
Home Improvement in 2021
When we think about leisure rooms, we consider a games room or perhaps building a home entertainment room. Creating a cinema, place for a pool table, or a reading nook are all part and parcel of a modern leisure room that isn’t a living room accompaniment. But, if you have an open floor plan, then you will be erecting walls to make it happen. A leisure room can be noisy and thus, it tends to be soundproof and in the basement or in the loft conversion.
However, with a hammock floor it doesn’t have to be. It's basically an interior design net, which can be fixed to fill a void and still be part of the room itself. Without breaking up lines and putting up barriers, this is a DIY home improvement project which really merges leisure into the existing floor plan. You can be walking upstairs and up above, a member of the family could be lying down taking a nap, reading a book, or perhaps playing with a virtual reality game. This is great use of overhead space, allowing for greater flexibility and an ideal rearrangement of a mezzanine. The custom interior nets are innovative Interior Design Ideas for 2021.
Interior Design Ideas for Mezzanine Extension
Loft conversions are very difficult to get right. You want the room to be functional and yet, not change the home itself. So when you are trying to create a workable space, moving things around isn’t always an option. For leisure, we recommend you give this kind of safety netting a chance to plug the gap and act as a floor. If you have a void to fill in your loft, building a floor extension could cost you a lot of money, but a hammock type of floor can be installed in a day. It can fully support the weight of several adults, spread their weight out evenly, and you get to choose the size of the netting. So if you have a small child’s bedroom in the loft, their arms or legs won’t slip through and get them tangled or cause injury.
Better natural light
Perhaps the most radical and very practical way to implement this new hammock flooring is when you replace your first floor flooring. This allows for an abundance of natural light to enter the house. It is especially important in cities where the winter season can be long and harsh like in Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal. It could be just one room that is above the living room, which could be entirely supported by the hammock. It could be your reading nook or perhaps as part of your bedroom. You can see directly into the living room straight from your bedroom and this may be something you support in terms of style, space, lighting and creative home design. The appeal of this hammock flooring is that it's one of the most unique interior design ideas that has come to the rescue of natural light lovers. It's akin to safety netting and great for a mezzanine floor.
The clear and present advantage of doing this is, you kind of have a second living room. You can lie down and read a book, while being able to see downstairs into the kitchen or living room. It's a functional space, somewhere you can go with your pillow and throw, to take a nap.
Hammock for Interior
For those of you that have bought your multi-storey apartment in a major city, and would like somewhere innovative to relax, a hammock floor that could bridge the gap between the two or more floors is an excellent choice. Essentially, it can create an open floor plan, vertically! If you have 2-3 floors, you can make part of each floor into a hammock zone. You can see all the way down from the top floor, to the ground. It's stylish, modern, contemporary and provides brilliant airflow throughout the apartment. What more can be said about it? It's a functional space, somewhere you can go to take a nap. The hammock allows your weight to sink, so your body thoroughly relaxes. That’s the secret of the hammock, you have to try it to see what we mean. Because you’re able to see throughout the home without your vision being blocked by a floor or wall, you just feel like you’re floating.
Styling the netting
Just like a hammock you would hang outside in your patio, we think that a hammock floor should be stylish. You can select any kind of color you’d like, red, yellow, blue and green are all popular choices to match your interior design ideas. The netting will be braided and because it is treated to be tough, it kind of shimmers in the moonlight so you can see it even in dim lighting. It's made out of polyester mostly, but you can have it made out of rope if you want a little extra strength. Bear in mind, that polyester is softer than rope, which may be more comfortable. However, rope is strong and durable, and less likely to stretch and or rip under pressure.
The net can support up to 240 kilos of weight, which is pretty much about 3 adults or 2 adults and a couple of young children. We think you should go for the lacing rope, which is used in maritime operations. It can withstand 3000kg and it's used to raise the sails of ships and boats. That is a lot of strength and this may be something that you are looking for if you would like to convert a large floor into a hammock floor idea.
Interior Design Ideas for Modern Homes!
You can use a hammock floor for many things. Firstly, napping! Of course, those that are tired after coming home from work, but don’t quite want to go to bed before dinner, they can just grab a throw and sleep on the floor. The hammock flooring that is! Then you can also use the hammock floor for a reading nook. It's got great support, allows for natural light to filter in the room so you don’t need a lamp and you can sit or lie down as you read. There is nothing getting in the way which means you have pure freedom. This is what people only realize when they use the hammock floor for the first time, they have a sense of being suspended in space.
It's also great for a modern home design. If you would like to simply have something unorthodox and irregular to make your home unique, this is it a great choice. Those are becoming extremely popular in places like Vancouver, BC. You may also find that it's the best choice for certain rooms like those in the loft or perhaps on the first floor of a garden house. It's also just cool isn’t it? It looks like something out of a movie or dream home fantasy. And we like that!
Benefits of a custom net
You may be thinking why this is better than, maybe a floor!? Well, if you look at the benefits of style and prascticality, it makes a hammock look like the missing jigsaw puzzle in your home. We are too blocked off, too hemmed in inside our homes. The pandemic has shown us that our homes need to be our sanctuary and not just a box we get in, in between going to work and doing a bit of grocery shopping. It's also very easy to set up, it can be completed in about a day. The rope can be replaced very quickly as it's just hung onto the hooks.
It's critical that we expand our space, we allow more light into the home and allow for an open floor plan to flourish. Until now, an open floor plan has only done so, by horizontal means, connecting rooms on a single floor. But the hammock flooring allows for multiple stories to be connected and that means, better communication with people who share the home.
