Thread: Overhead cargo net - any recommendations?

I did mine a bit differently in my 90. There are three attachment point along one side of the net, & two on the other side. As there is nothing to attach to in the centre of the roof, I put the side with the two straps upwards, through the grab handles (to get the net tighter) then forward to the bracket which I mounted in an existing hole in the trim via a rivnut.
The lower outer straps pick up the bracing bar behind the seats, & the centre one to the front of the draws.

Been in there a couple of years now, works well. Fortunately I haven't had to 'test' the load rating.

I mounted mine with the narrower length up, as when I tried it the other way I could not adjust it to be tight enough not to sag in the middle.
So narrow side up makes the centre buckle redundant, but it pulls tight across the top. The picture on the packet shows narrow side up.
I mounted the wider bottom corner buckles to bolts on the wheel arches.
See how it goes.

I've just installed the Dollium Boab Overhead Cargo Net (OLRNL) to my 110.

Similar to DiscoMick I've attached the front end to the side grab handles.

At the rear I found behind the plastic trim a corner bolt that mounted the ends perfectly.

Then to take the sag out of the middle I threaded the tail end through the tail grab handles.

It leaves the front end a little open but I'm just shoving pillows, sleeping bags etc in there so a sudden brake should result in a pleasant thud to the back of the head.

Looks good.
I'm considering doing something similar in our new shed, to put soft items like sleeping bags and mattresses up out of the way. The Doluumare rated to 125kg so that should work.
Another option is the cargo nets for trailers, which are about $80 each, and have the advantage of having fine mesh to hold smaller items.
A couple of nets should do the job.
