Default Raw materials for cargo netting

I would have put this in Write-ups, but I don't have it yet, so I figured this was the best place.

36.5" x 57" nylon net, made from 2" webbing, reinforced with riveted steel bars. Price: $4.95 + shipping



I'm thinking a home-brew cargo net is a piece of cake with this. (remove steel bars and strap it up)

I don't know why, but their site requires https (secure) before ://www. and the top-level domain name.

I wouldn't necessarily say JK nets are ridiculously marked up.
That's a surplus site.
They could be made in China.
The webbing is relatively cheap, but good nets are sewn on special machines and require a lot of labor.

I just checked shipping and it was OUT OF CONTROL!
($15.41 for one, $21.26 for two)

Either way, beats spending $500... I don't exactly need nets I can jump up and down on... I was actually looking at buying rolls of seat belt material and making my own...
