Full sized Cargo Net from Muslogy.

This full sized bed cargo net is a new product launch from Muslogy auto. What is your thoughts on this? Useful? Useless?

 

I use a Gladiator cargo net. Purchased in 2019 and have used it many times. Highly recommended.

That looks substantial!

 

I have a net that style and the exact same box but NO WAY would I let it alone hold the box with some weight in it unless the box was held better, and those boxes have holes designed for better securing them. Nets like that are more to hold light and loose stuff. What I do is secure items including carry boxes with NRS or equivalent straps - not the crap made of Chinesium or crap people buy at discount stores - and then put my net like that or one with some stretch over the load to hold stuff that might move or blow.

It's from a decade plus of each experience as a professional river guide and flat bed semi driving trucker plus a whole lot of travel to have these firm opinions from all I've witnessed. I do frequent travel in the corridors where people go on vacation from Chicago, Denver I70 west madness etc... to see the hazards and stupidity folks will do. I've watched and after the fact seen people carrying boxes and all sorts of stuff go wrong.

Two summers ago on I39 we witnessed a fatal accident from someone having poorly secured stuff. Their cargo box blew open, people slammed on brakes, and van pulling a trailer lost it and rolled in the chaos. Not that, but we lost a family member on same highway from others' poor choices.

 

Yeah I just had for display. Didn’t move it or transport it as it would most likely slide off the top even with the net.

 

Now THAT is a cargo net!

 

If you strap the cargo, what is the net doing?

 

Yea, worth every dollar. I’ve hauled a lot of stuff with mine. Once you strap the cargo down, it isn’t going anywhere.

I bought some extra straps. See https://gladiatorcargonet.com/products/standard-hardware-kit

 

I see in Amazon that is half the cost of the gladiators also

You do you.

When it comes to some things, I am looking for badass quality. I paid $133 in 2019. I figure it’s already paid for itself with my usage.

 

A net or tarp over a strapped load can still be worth the effort such as to hold small or loose items in or to keep a load dry. Hard braking, bumps or an accident create forces some might not think of. If you observe flatbed truckers you'll see that with or without a tarp they secure items and bundles with very strong load straps that are under tension if not securing with chains under tension.
