Custom Cargo Net? Or Alternative?

[alirawk]

Hello Everybody

Need a little help figuring out a way to secure items stowed underneath my sleeping platform. I need some sort of netting or similar option for the areas adjacent to the doors. Does anybody have any ideas or know somebody who can make me this if I send dimensions/patten? I'd like the weave to be about as tight as the sort of nets found on the back of the 4runner front seats.

Below are a couple pics of the space with a rough shape of the area I'd like the nets to cover. Pretty much all I've been able to find is rectangular, as such seeking a custom job. Open to other ideas as well.

You might be able to use a basketball net Cut to fit, melt the cut ends.

A shop that deals with river running equipment might be able to point you in the direction of someone who does custom netting for boats...that's where we in N. Az. go to get custom stuff like that done; the guys who sew for the Grand Canyon rafters....

I like the idea, but concerned that when cutting the net to fit, I might cause it to unravel.

Thanks H.

Do you know the name of the place in N. Az? Could be worth a fun road trip.

That's why you melt the ends. You can also tie knots if necessary...

I like the platform but why would you want a net? wouldn't it make it harder to access stuff you might have stored there?

The net would be easily unhooked from some eyebolts attached to the bottom and legs of the sleeping platform, and the floor. Essentially the same as a cargo net in the bed of a truck or wherever. The intent is to be able to have some smaller loose items under there without having to worry about stuff falling out if jostled while driving. A couple times I've set up camp at night and had a water bottle or some other thing roll out -- fortunately discovered in the morning; but that is the situation I'm trying to mitigate. Moreover, you'll notice in the pictures above that the sleeping platforms actually have these really great portholes on the top that allow access to the storage space from above.

Thank you for clarifying. What do you think about this "net pouch" thingies? you can hang them from the top and store items inside.

Thanks for all the suggestions -- but found these guys:

Going to have a quasi custom job -- the dimensions are almost identical to one they already make.
