A cargo net including a body having a network of structural members, a first end and a second end, each end defining a sleeve and/or including an elongated strap engagement base. First and second straps, separately formed from the body, ends, sleeves and/or bases, are disposed through the respective sleeves, and/or over the respective bases at the ends. Where the ends include strap slots on opposite ends of the bases, the straps can be weaved through the slots and over the bases. The straps can be ratchet straps and can be generally slidably mounted through the sleeves and/or over the bases or through the strap slots. The ratchet straps can be tightened, thereby further securing cargo under the cargo net. The body, first end, second end, sleeves and/or bases can be monolithically formed as a single piece structure. A method of using the cargo net also is provided. |

1. A cargo net detachably attached to at least one of a transport bed and a pallet, the cargo net comprising:
a body including a network of structural members and a longitudinal axis, the body including a first lateral edge disposed on a first side of the longitudinal axis and a second lateral edge disposed on a second side of the longitudinal axis opposite the first side; a first end including a first elongated strap engagement base, the first elongated strap engagement base joined with the network of structural members, the first elongated strap engagement base including a first base end located on the first side and a second base end located on the second side, the first base end defining a first strap slot, the second base end defining a second strap slot, the first elongated strap engagement base including an upward facing surface and a downward facing surface, the first elongated strap engagement base including a primary portion, the first base end including a first overlapping bridge adjacent the first strap slot but located across the first strap slot from the primary portion of the first elongated strap engagement base, the first base end including a second overlapping bridge adjacent the second strap slot but located across the second strap slot from the primary portion of the first elongated strap engagement base; a second end including a second elongated strap engagement base, the second elongated strap engagement base joined with the network of structural members, the second end being distal from the first end so that the network of structural members are disposed between the first end and the second end; a first strap, separately constructed from the body, first end and second end, the first strap joined with the first end so that the first overlapping bridge is disposed over the first strap adjacent the first base end, the first strap being disposed through the first strap slot, the first strap extending over and engaging the upward facing surface of the first elongated strap engagement base along the primary portion, the first strap being disposed through the second strap slot and under the second overlapping bridge, with the second overlapping bridge being disposed over the first strap adjacent the second base end, the first strap extending beyond the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge; a second strap, separately constructed from the body, first end and second end, the second strap disposed over the second elongated strap engagement base with the second strap extending beyond the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge; wherein the first and second strap are selectively attachable to at least one of a transport bed and a pallet, whereby a user can selectively tighten the first strap and second strap to secure cargo under the cargo net, with the body securing a portion of the cargo located between the first end and the second end. |
