ᐅ Fall protection for open spaces using safety nets (catamaran system)

Hello!
We have an open space of about 12 square meters (130 square feet) in the house and would like to combine comfort with functionality by installing a net similar to those used on catamarans (see picture). However, one of the long sides borders the conservatory, so the net cannot be attached there. We are considering a metal frame to which the net would be fastened, with the frame only screwed into the remaining opening area (timber frame construction).
Has anyone already done something like this? One company gave us only a standard response regarding mounting, and we are still waiting for a reply from another company. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you and best regards

Hmm. Anyone who has ever sailed on a catamaran net knows how durable they are, despite exposure to saltwater, sun, and UV rays. Indoors, there is no problem. The rope connection with Dyneema also lasts forever inside. Don’t ask a carpenter or a joiner; it’s better to discuss it with a sailmaker why steel is used and why much lighter aluminum mast profiles are not. Well, in Bavaria, where you live, sailmakers are not very common. Fritz at Chiemsee is actually the only one I can think of. Don’t worry about the prices; their hourly rates are quite reasonable.

Check out the BR media library for the Dream Houses series, "A House of Fire and Glass," which features a similar net in the gallery area.Is it worth watching the show?
