Cargo net for the cargo box

Sewed up a cargo net for the top of my rear cargo box. I bought a 10 dollar 6 pack of cam buckle straps from Amazon, mostly for the cam buckle part but the webbing was reused for this project as well instead of burning though my existing webbing. I took one strap removed the cam buckle and mocked it up around the edge of the box 1 inch in from the edge, used a sharpie to mark where it needed to be folded and what not.

After sewing up the "perimeter" strap, I layed it out on the floor and put in my center straps and cut them to size and marked them as needed. I started off by sewing each cross strap to the perimeter strap. After that I went back though and sewed each cross strap together.

Next I cut 4 "cinch" straps out at 2 feet each and sewed them to each corner.

I haven't done this much sewing in a while I forgot how time consuming box stitches are to do hah.

What a cute little cargo net.

I have a cargo net for the back of my dually. Though I have to admit I didn't actually buy it for the dually. My original plan was to make a climbing structure for The Varmints. I think it measures something like 16' x 20'. It was originally a cargo lifting net from a dockyard. It is ridiculously heavy. And it does such a wonderful job of tying down odd loads that I never let The Varmints have it.
