To adapt to the many different ways you may intend on using your net, LOFTNETS offers a wide variety of custom-made finishes to strengthen and prolong its lifespan.
LOFTNETS specializes in custom-made technical canvases and nets and offers a wide range of meshes for different uses.
There are many ways to use our nets: as a vertical net that serves as a guardrail indoors, ensuring the security of a stairway or open mezzanine, or outdoors to reinforce a barrier or prevent falls from an elevated terrace.
It is also possible to install a horizontal net to extend a mezzanine instead of closing it off with a guardrail, or to create a family play area and a fun and original space to relax above the lounge or in a child’s bedroom.
To match all these different uses and varied budgets, LOFTNETS offers a wide choice of custom-made finishes.
Finishes for horizontal home nets
Bolt rope
This type of border, also referred to as a “seam” or “single bolt rope”, is obligatory for all horizontal nets. It adds resistance, pleasant aesthetics, and security to your custom-made net. Composed of an ultra-resistant Ø10 mm rope made from multi-strand polyester that has been stitched and reinforced at our workshop, it passes between the closest meshes to the net’s edge.
Double bolt rope
This border is reinforced to extend the lifespan of your net. The first stitched-in bolt rope is accompanied by a free-moving rope, added by hand and threaded through each mesh by our experienced designers. This option is strongly recommended for any horizontal nets that will be used intensively, for public use, or for sailing.
LOFTNETS offers this finish for all horizontal nets, from 15 mm to 45 mm meshes, adapting the diameter to the size of the mesh.

Finishes for horizontal technical canvases
PVC strip with eyelets
This finish is used on our technical materials, also referred to as “coated canvases”, our TEC600 and TEC400. Eyelets are usually affixed to a 100 mm heat-sealed PVC strip, but this spacing can be adjusted based on how your custom-made canvas will be used. The tension rope can be threaded easily through these eyelets to tension the canvas, whatever its diameter.
Tunnel
A sealed, reinforced strip composed of an outer tube. This finish is primarily found on our technical canvases for catamarans and trimarans. The sleeve will need to be cut during installation to match the spacing between fasteners so they can be linked to the canvas with a rope, with the addition of a rod (not provided).
Finishes for vertical home nets
No finishing (raw edge)
A net with no finishing is cut to measure, without any additional outer rope or stitching. These nets are made by hand, without the use of a sewing machine. This solution makes it possible to cut the net during installation so it can be adapted to an unusual support or structure. This is ideal, for example, for a vertical net that follows the steps in an irregular-shaped staircase. This is our lowest priced finish.
Thin bolt rope
Thin bolt ropes can be added to a guardrail vertical net with a Ø3 mm rope and are available in a range of colors. This peripheral rope is used for nets tensioned using lacing and for nets attached directly to fasteners (shackle jumpers).
