cargo

Does anyone have and opinion on cargo nets? Need something that will keep cardboard from flying out. I don't need something that secures heavy cargo.

Thanks

Joe

Could you just keep something heavy in the back. Then place it on the cardboard so it stays? Just anchor it down so it isn't flying around when braking and stuff.

I've seen those SpiderWeb looking nets but they attach to the tiedowns. I would think it would hold cardboard down unless you have a LOT of cardboard in the back.

I am going to be hauling 200 to 250 brokendown boxes from cell tower sites acroos a 1700mile excursion, plus garbage bags of foam across 10 days. I would really like not to use a weight to hold things down. The amount of boxes I have will probably overflow the bed. thanks

Due to the tangling, I prefer the type that have removable hooks. When done, using it, remove the hooks, then the net is easy to fold & put away. I keep my net in an old 5lb coffee can and the hooks in a separate 1lb can.
