Spidy Gear 80112-03; Small Blue Load Security 'Bed Webb'

 (3 customer reviews)

This was a replacement for a worn out 5-year old net. My truck bed only has four attachment points and this was the only net design that could accomodate that since no matter what the shape of the object restrained by the net, the securing forces are uniformly distributed by the cobweb geometry (spirals/concentric circles around a central hub). The net came with flimsy plastic hooks but I simply bought some brass hitch hooks and looped the four corners of the net onto them. The material used is of quality and should last another 5 years outdoors.

I received this cargo net today and the concept and product are good except for the attachment system. This net requires multiple connections (at least eight) to the pickup bed and I found the hooks provided to be a bad design for my Tacoma. The only places they attach to the bed are the four tie downs that came with the Tacoma and they don't stay hooked to them very well. They are bulky plastic. Metal "S" hooks would work much better. The "D" rings supplied were cheap and useless to me. I thought about returning the net but decided to go to Home Depot and buy parts to make the attaching of the net to the bed work. Had I known all of this prior to purchase, I would not have purchased the net.

This is one of the best products if you are like me and have a pick up to fill up!
