Re: Source for cargo netting?
 

I looked everywhere for one. I didn't find one that I liked. I wanted
something with a "corded" look rather than the airgate ones. I went to buy
bungee cords instead at the local fleamarket, cheap, cheap. They had a 3' by
5' cargonet made out of bungee material for $6.00 CAD, I was extremely
happy. It has 14 hooks on it and it's very versatile.

Maybe a fleamarket or something....worth a try. Better than $80

Re: Source for cargo netting?
 

If you are looking for a tailgate replacement, why? Net tailgates don't do
as advertised and improve aerodynamics or save fuel, in fact the airflow
goes forward there. Tie some yarn on and see.
As a motorcyclist I don't like the stuff that falls out of net tailgates

I have been using the net from my wife's Audi for a while. The problem
with most of the OEM nets is that they are stretchy and too small. I
want non-stretching material to form a barrier, not stretchy to fit
over irregular objects. A wall rather than a blanket, in other words.

I want a custom shape, so I need the raw material, if I can locate it.
