Overhead cargo net - any recommendations?

**rijidij** · 2nd January 2017, 10:55 AM

My apologies for not reporting back on this, I've been moving house, Christmas etc etc etc.
We ended up fitting the cargo barrier net by attaching the top eyelets to one of the grab handle fixings and the bottom ones we wrapped half way around the body stiffening tube and fixed to a bolt holding that tube to the body.
The top fixing is not ideal, but my customer only wanted the barrier to keep his dog from getting to the front seats, rather than to stop heavy objects flying around, so he preferred not to drill new holes in this case.
I don't have any pictures, but the net itself looked good quality.
The main problem with these nets is, they're a generic design, not made to fit any specific vehicle, so you need to sort out adequate fixing points.
Sorry I can't be of more help at this stage.

Cheers, Murray

Here's my solution to internal roof storage - a bit of excess pool fencing, a couple of bolts for hinges at the front and a couple at the rear on a bracket screwed to where the grabb handles attach. Mainly carry soft stuff such as bedding etc. Has worked well for more than 10 years.

Pictures don't seem to be working

I've just ordered a Dolium cargo net for $179 plus postage as an alternative to a stiff cargo barrier.
From the pics I'm hoping to be able to mount it to the mountings for the grab handles at the top, and the bottom to the mountings for the seats.
Advantages of a net versus a stiff barrier to me include it's a third of the cost, it is rated to 125kg and it can be moved aside at the bottom to give access to the second battery under the rear of the drawers.
So I hope it works.

So my Boab cargo net turned up today.

I fitted the upper buckles to the grab handles by unscrewing the handles, fitting the bracket and refreshing the screws in.
