ABSTRACT:
A cargo net for retaining a load in a container. A cargo net (12) comprises a plurality of hexagonal-shaped cells (44) formed by knitting or weaving strands (40) together along opposite adjacent sides (42) of adjoining cells. Since the strands are joined by knitting or weaving along the common sides of each cell, use of knots to form the mesh of the net by tying strands is avoided. The hexagonal shape of the net, and the nautilus construction used in forming the net contribute to its characteristic elasticity, which enables the cargo net to conform to irregular shapes and sizes of objects comprising the load. The cargo net is thus ideal for containing and securing a load in a bed (26) of a pickup truck (10). A binding strip (28) surrounds the perimeter of the cargo net, distributing any stress applied when securing the net around the perimeter of the bed or other container with which it is used.
