Short bed cargo net: is a 3x4 bungee net big enough?

It looks like most over-bed cargo nets come either 3x4 or 6x8. For those of us with 5' beds, 6x8 seems too big as it wouldnt stay taught unless your load has height above the bed. Is that correct? Are 3x4 cargo nets big enough to stay taught with a flat load but also expand when your camping or road trip gear or hauling gear goes much higher than the bed?

Pics and links appreciated! Thank you.

 

I think mine is a 6x8; however, it has draw strings at the end where you can cinch it up pretty tight. Works with flat loads and bulky ones.

 

subd...

 

Thanks. does yours attack via d-rings and hooks or into the side rails?

Jimmer, i dont' know what "sub'd" means, sorry.

 

I bought the 36" x 60" at HF and found, when I stretch it over actual cargo, it is pretty small. I would size up, for sure.

 

It means he's subdued and allowing the counsel of elders come up with a decision to which he'll be waiting for.

The 6 x 8 I bought has clips that can be moved to make it smaller or bigger.

We mean no harm, glad u took it in stride!

 

Got this net, fits the 6’ bed perfect and you can tighten each hook point.

People with the cargo nets, how are they in the sun?

 

Mine is exactly the one that @Thegenerik1 posted above. There are 8 hooks, so I use the front tie down points, bedrail cleats, and the rear d-rings.
