CSI W33000 EZ Net

Disliked the plastic hooks. One of them snapped off during use but thankfully it kept our gear in place. Good size for the bed of the truck just doesnt seem durable with the plastic

This is the second one of these spiderweb-type nets I've purchased. I bought the first one on May 14, 2011, for $24.88 right here on Amazon. I'm involved with my kids' Scout troop and drive on our camping trips, so I use the net 8 times per year for overnight trips and once per year for an 8-9 day trip to cover a tarp over duffel bags, tents and sleeping bags in the bed of my pickup. When not in use, I keep the net and tarp clean and dry in the garage with our camp gear.With the first one, after a few years of gentle, occasional use, some of the bungee strands began to break. Not a big deal, as the spiderweb design makes it easy to use a different strand to secure a load. But after five years, enough strands had broken that I needed a new net. I was very pleased with getting five years out of the first one and I liked the design, so I purchased a new one from Amazon on April 5, 2016, for $23.54.The bungee material of the new net was much thinner than that of the first net even though it was a repeat order from my order history and the identical brand/model, W3000 EZ Net. I considered returning it, but gave it a try instead, thinking that although the strands were much thinner (perhaps 2/3 the width of the first net, or 2/3 the thickness of a standard bungee cord), they would probably work just as well since I never had much of a strain on them. Boy was I wrong.Some of the strands broke after a few uses. It seemed every time I used the net another strand broke, and several more were close to breaking where they attached. This afternoon, October 1, 2017, we returned from overnight camping, and this was the last time I will use this net. I had to tie pieces together just to get it home.Five years for the first net, and 1 1/2 years for the second, with identical usage tells me that quality has taken a dive. Stay away from this one. Now, I'm looking through Amazon's other offerings to choose a different net.

The cargo net is a very handy accessory, and it's priced right. On the bad side, the plastic hooks that it comes with are weak, and they can be easily broken when attaching or removing the net. On the good side, it comes with 8 or 10 hooks, and I only need 4.

I am very disappointed. This spiderweb cargo net is very close to the design of the cargo net I purchased on Amazon.com several years ago. That cargo net continues to work well, and has held up to ten years of work. Unfortunately that model is no longer for sale. When I saw this one, with the same spider web design, I decided to try it out... in fact I bought several so that i could give them to family members. What a mistake! This brand and model are of very poor quality, and fell apart for each of us beginning with the first use! In my case I used it only to pin down leaves and grass in my truck, and by the time I made it to the recycler the bungee strands were breaking! Never again will I buy these.

Works great. I'll see how long it lasts.

a great concept, but in action it leaves some things to be desired.the ends (where the plastic hooks attach to the net) tend to strecth WAY out...the hooks themselves have a shallow grab, but they do have a hole in them which allows you to route a cord thru.

good till fell apart in the sun

Can be tough to attach to bed and comes with plastic clips, but the net itself is cool. Can be a pain to drape over your load, but holds very well and doesn't seem to get too tangled. With some decent clips, this could be 5 *. My local truck outfitter is asking $65 for this net. I got it here for around $25.
