Cargo Net

[Jay70]

Hello All,

I have a 5 Seater D3 and looking for a quality cargo net I can use to restrain all the gear packed in the rear of the vehicle when we go camping. I'm not wanting to install a fixed (metal) barrier but still want the restraint net to have a safe working load (SWL).

Any one got any ideas or experience in this area?

Thanks in Advance

The net won't offer any significant protection and certainly not a SWL. Get a cargo barrier. They are very easy to remove, 2 minutes and it's back to a 7-seater. Hayman Recce make the LR version for the D3.

funny, aircraft loadies seem to have a different opinion of that.

you can get them but they dont work unless you have suitable anchor points.

and when was the last time you saw a webbing net used to hold down the shopping in the back of a wagon dave? :-P

I'd have a different opinion of an aircraft cargo net, and I'm sure they'd have an opinion about the nets designed to restrain cargo in 4WDs. Cargo barriers have a load rating, never seen similar on a net so I know which I'd be trusting to do the job.

The OP's main concern seemed to me to be speed of removal, and my point is that the metal HR cargo barrier is very quick to remove so it shouldn't be discounted on that point. Not as quick as a net, but the net won't meet his requirement for having a SWL (or some form of rating).

You can get load rated cargo nets however they would probably be more expensive than a cargo barrier.

We use them for loading bags of insulation onto warehouse roof's during construction.

Lifting equipment companies can source them for you.

If you can splice rope 12mm sisal rope in good condition has a SWL of 144kg's.

Theres construction going on on the base and some loose loads are going out on flatbets with flat strap cargo webs over them located by ratchet straps.

believe it or not the quality elasticated spider nets that you can get from places like super cheap have a load rating, ITs not much but they do have one.

Even if the net is load rated the securing point also needs to be rated. It could be done, but why not just get a cargo barrier and be done with it? They are really quite easy to remove, four nuts you undo by hand and out it comes.

Cargo barrier is by far the safest solution but still takes some planning if it is in your daily driver though.
Our situation with 3 kids means that it is real easy to pick up a couple of unplanned passengers from school, sport etc so if we have to remove the barrier and need the rear 2 seats we have a problem. Because of this we'd probably only have it in place when going on a trip.

What is the ballpark price on the barrier?
