Expert Answers about Cargo Nets


  • Is the Snap-Lock Heavy Duty Truck Bed Cargo Net Stretchable
  • The nylon rope on the Snap-Loc Heavy-Duty Truck Bed Cargo Net # SLAMCN6272-P does not stretch. The net tightens around the load with the built-in cinch rope. You can also use the included 6 carabiners to secure the net. The carabiners will allow you to secure the net where needed. For a cargo net that does stretch, I recommend the Erickson Stretchable Truck Bed Cargo Net with Hooks # EM01012. This net measures 52 inches x 70 inches. The 22 integrated hooks secure the net down to a truck...

  • SportRack Safari Cargo Net with Bag for Roof Mounted Baskets Weight Capacity
  • I spoke with the manufacturer, and they have not tested for a weight capacity of the SportRack Safari Cargo Net with Bag for Roof Mounted Baskets, 40 x 35 inches, part # SR0033. It is not a heavy-duty net, and is only designed to be used as a covering net for a roof rack or cargo carrier. The carriers usually have a capacity lower than 500 pounds; this net is not designed for use with up to 6,000 pounds of cargo. All of the nets we offer are designed as top nets for cargo carriers or truck...

  • Cargo Net Suitable for Rola Cargo Basket # TH859XT Used with Extension # TH8591XT
  • When laid out flat, the Rola Cargo Net measures 36 by 48 inches. When the extension is added to the basket, it will be 70 inches long, too long for the net to stretch. The Curt Stretchable Cargo Net, part # C18201 would be a better choice for you. At 38 by 65 inches, the net will provide plenty of stretch to accommodate your cargo. You might also want to consider a wheel step like part # HE4040 which would make accessing your rooftop cargo much easier, not to mention safer.

  • Can the 55" Wide x 78" Long Reese Adjustable Truck Bed Cargo Net Be Stretched
  • The 55" Wide x 78" Long Reese Adjustable Truck Bed Cargo Net # RE54FR can be adjusted a bit smaller with the cinch buckles to accommodate smaller truck beds, but the 55" Wide x 78" Long dimension is the largest is can be adjusted to. If you check out the review video you'll see that the netting isn't rigid, but it also isn't a bungee-type of material so it stays pretty fixed.

  • How Far Will Master Lock Cargo Net # 3052DAT Stretch
  • I went out to the warehouse and pulled Master Lock cargo net # 3052DAT. While applying a fair amount of tension I got the net to stretch to 108 x 108 inches. It could have gone a little further than that so 108 length and width is a what I would stick with. The net is adjustable by moving the hooks where needed on the net portion. The hooks can be pulled off and placed in different locations. This includes the yellow hooks which are meant to indicate the corners.

  • Can Larger Cargo Bag Than Hitch Cargo Carrier Platform Fit Without Issue
  • You can use a larger than needed cargo bag on a cargo carrier like what you mentioned. Basically you'd have more cargo room available than needed but as long as you secure the bag down well it won't be an issue at all. You can use a cargo net like the part # C18200 which will easily keep the excess bag and cargo secured. Basically you'll just stretch the net over the bag and it will hold everything in place. I attached a review video for this net for you to check out as well.

  • Hitch High/Low Adapter for Better Ground Clearance When Using Cargo Carrier
  • Roadmaster High-Low Adapter # RM-048-10 for 2-inch hitches will give your hitch-mount cargo carrier 10-1/4-inches of height gain for better ground clearance. It will also reduce your hitch capacity by 50-percent, as do all such adapters/extenders. This loss of hitch capacity results from the change in geometry, which moves the carrier's weight load further away from the hitch itself. You'll need to make sure the combined weight of the carrier and its loaded cargo does not exceed half of...

  • How to Tell the Weight Capacity of the Gladiator Waterproof Cargo Net # GC97FR
  • The working load limit (WLL) is the safe weight capacity limit rating of the strap. The cargo net # GC97FR itself has a 700 pound WLL while the cam buckles have a 1,323 pound WLL. Break strength, on the other hand, is the maximum weight an object can hold until it actually breaks. For the net, that limit is 2,100 pounds and for the cam buckles it is 3,969 pounds. You should always abide by the WLL when trying to determine what capacity you need.

  • Diameter of Tie-Down Holes of Lets Go Aero H01465 Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier
  • The holes around the edge of the # H01465 Let's Go Aero BigBoss cargo carrier are 3/8 of an inch in diameter, so the S-hooks of some ratchet straps would fit. The sides of the carrier are pretty sturdy, but I could see how the carrier box could be deformed if the ratchets were ran down too aggressively. I'd say that the holes are more meant for bungee cords or a cargo net such as what's included with the # H01496 Cover/Cargo net. I'll link you to a product demonstration video featuring...

  • Recommended Hitch-Mounted Cargo Carrier For 2015 Honda Accord
  • I did some research in the owner's manual for your 2015 Accord and the tongue weight maximum is 100-lbs. The 100-lb limit includes the weight of any cargo added to the weight of the carrier you use in the trailer hitch. The carrier I recommend for your Accord is the Curt Carrier # C18110. This carrier measures 20 x 48 inches, and weighs just 30-lbs so that leaves you 70-lbs for your cooler. to hold any cargo you put in the carrier I recommend the Curt Stretchable Net # C18200. This...

  • What is the Stretched and Unstretched Size of the Individual Squares in Erickson Cargo Net # EM01015
  • The Erickson 72-inch x 96-inch Cargo Net for Pickups, part # EM01015, features a bungee-cord construction intended to hold down lightweight items. It is not specifically rated for any particular weight load as it is intended to hold items down, but not to suspend them. It is not intended to support the weight of cargo or a person. The individual squares measure roughly 4 x 5 inches when not under tension (as when removed from the packaging) and when under tension (stretched to a degree...
