An inventive cargo securement device as described herein integrates a mesh tarp portion with a cargo net portion. In the preferred embodiment, the mesh tarp portion is overlaid upon the cargo net portion to create a substantially smooth, and snag-free side to the device, which allows for easier maneuvering over cargo loads without snagging. The side opposite the smooth side is a lattice work of longitudinal and latitudinal straps overlaid upon the mesh tarp portion and is attached thereto. In use, the lattice work side of the device preferably does not contact the cargo, but provides a foundation for attaching a plurality of anchor points located within the perimeter of the mesh tarp portion. By locating anchor points within the perimeter of the mesh tarp portion, ropes, hooks, winches or a combination thereof can be attached to the anchor points and any slack in the mesh tarp portion can be effectively gathered up. By removing as much slack as possible, this insures that the maximum amount of contacting surface of the device will be applied against a cargo load. |
