Cargo net recommendations?
Can someone recommend a cargo net to secure a stack of small moving boxes in the bed of my 6.5' truck? I already have the flimsy little envelope style for use at the back to keep small things from sliding around.. I'm talking about something larger to go over the top of a large neat stack of boxes protruding above the bed to keep them in the stack. The cargo is small moving boxes weighing 20-25# each.
Ideally it won't be silly expensive because I'll use it rarely and am not hauling irregularly-shaped heavy equipment. I've seen some on Amazon and elsewhere that include carabineers but I'm skeptical about quality. I know those cheap carabineers are really flimsy and assume those nets are, too.
Thanks for your suggestions.

To close this out, I ended up with Tenaxterra cargo net that I recommend highly. It's pretty cheap ($40) and very strong. It's not a stretchy bungee-cord type net. Instead, it's a web of nylon straps and includes 4 ratchet straps to secure it. The hardware included (carabiners and ratchet straps) is heavy duty. I was surprised by the product quality, actually, especially considering the modest price. Even the storage bag is high quality.

Cool. Glad you found something that works for you. This thread reminded me of this thing that we discussed a while ago. Lol.

For securing a stack of moving boxes, go for a heavy-duty cargo net made from polyester or nylon webbing with reinforced edges and solid metal hooks. Brands like Rhino USA or Keeper offer durable options that fit a 6.5’ bed perfectly. Avoid cheap bungee-style nets or flimsy carabiners—they won’t hold up under load. If you’re using it occasionally, pair a mid-range net with ratchet straps for added stability. Always hook into your truck’s tie-down points and pull the net tight to keep everything from shifting during the drive.
