Abstract
A cargo retaining device as disclosed for use in conjunction with the cargo bed of a vehicle such as the cargo bed of a pickup truck. The cargo retaining device includes a net formed by crisscrossing strands of non-elastic material and having a shape substantially the same as the shape of the cargo bed. An elongated cord extends around the outer perimeter of the net and the cord has a cross-sectional area substantially greater than the cross-sectional area of the strands. The cord is attached to the vehicle so that the net overlies and covers the cargo bed of the vehicle as well as any cargo contained therein.
