Horizontal Cargo Net Installation

I saw that too in the installation instructions, but can't figure out what good it is that way.

I will post pics as soon as I resize picture. I use it whenever I carry tools and groceries around and IMO it is better that vertical. You have to watch with the cargo net when it is vertical that the hatch closes properly without hitting items in the net. Both ways work great and would recommend this item. It is cheap and you won't have to worry about stuff rolling around in back. Note that it has elastic around the whole perimeter so it is easy to lift and place items under.

zafer,

when I first see the instruction, I was wondering how is good for it. But once I have my baby's stroller in the car, I find out it is very useful. Otherwise the stroller will slide either left or right whenever you are turning.

The vertical position is great for a few small items (e.g., some groceries, a lunch box, running shoes). When it comes to larger items, or a bunch of items (like a run to Costco), the horizontal position lets you hold everything down. The whole idea is to keep things from becoming projectiles in the event you do emergency braking/maneuvering.

I think the clips supplied kind of suck. I replaced them with little caribiners, which are much friendlier.

I agree........ clips are not user friendly.

Got them on mine, they work great. You can get them most anywhere that sells key chains. Don't use these for rock climbing!

uh....yeah don't use keychain for rockclimbing. The keychain version is a smaller derivative of the actual ones used in rock climbing. Unless it is a small rock

With an equally small creature (unlikely human) using it.

Actually the carabiner are sold according to the weight/load limit. The higher the load limit, the more expensive it is. The carabiners that you see being sold at Kmart or other stores are usually hollow and not for climbing (strictly cosmetic). The color of the carabiners used to signify the load limit, but nowadays it seems the color is used more for ascetics and not for its true purpose. Also the real carabiners are quite expensive as they are made from exotic materials such as magnesium.
