How Much Will the Erickson Stretchable Truck Bed Cargo Net Stretch

Updated 03/18/2013 | Published 05/12/2010

Question:

I have a 4 1/2 X 8 1/2 utility trailer with 2 foot high sides that I use for tool and material hauling. My loads are usually about even with the top of the sides. How much stretch is there in a cargo net? If I buy a 5 X 8 net, will it be tight or loose. Should I go for a smaller net? Thanks for the good answers and videos on your web site.

I spoke with my contact at Erickson and she stated that the Erickson Cargo Net for Pickups # EM01015 will stretch about 50 percent more than its current size. So that would be 108 inches x 144 inches (9 feet by 12 feet) maximum.
