Question:

I have a 6 X 10 foot utility trailer with 2 foot high sides that I use mainly for furniture moving in which many pieces will definitely exceed the 2foot side walls but not a dangerous level. Depending on weather, I may use a tarp in which case the tie down net will be put over it to prevent possible weather issues and secure the cargo. Would this be a good size to get for the trailer. Also, I tow with a Chevy Avalanche and would probably do the same for its capacity. Is this item too big and not adjustable enough for the smaller size? Many thanks.

Expert Reply:

If the cargo will only slightly go above the sides of trailer I would recommend you go with a Cargo Net part # EM01012 instead. If the cargo would go above the rails a decent amount I would recommend the part # EM01015.

The # EM01012 has unstretched dimensions of 72" wide x 96" long. This may be a better size for your Avalanche as well.

If you plan on transporting various amounts of cargo you may be just better off getting both sizes.
