Yes, the cargo nets we offer such as Curt # C18201 are measured unstretched. This particular one measures 38 x 65.

Keep in mind that the size of net you need depends as much on your cargo as on the basket. For example, if you're transporting flat items that remain within the enclosed volume of the basket a smaller net might provide the snug fit you want. If you were to have tall cartons placed in the basket you might need a larger net to accommodate their height.

We have many nets to offer, so what I suggest you do is enter 'cargo net' in our search box and press go. You will then see all options.

Again depending on the specific nature of the cargo items a set of cargo control straps like # IMF12637 might suit you better.
