Find the Perfect Cargo Net Size for Your Vehicle

Choosing the right cargo net size makes all the difference between a secure load and a risky haul. At Gladiator Cargo Nets, we’ve built this sizing guide to help you measure your truck bed or trailer and find the perfect fit for your next adventure, job, or delivery.

Step 1: Measure Your Truck Bed or Trailer

Before you order, grab a tape measure and note the length and width of your cargo area (inside the bed rails).

For the best fit, measure at the top edge of the bed — not the floor — since nets attach across the top rails.

Determine Your Vehicle Type: Consider the size and type of vehicle or trailer you’ll be using.

Measure Your Load Area: For a truck bed measure the length from cab to tailgate. For Trailers, Roof Racks, etc. measure the length and width you wish to cover.

Consider the Load Height: For taller loads you may need a larger net to accommodate the extra height.

Choose the Right Size: Match your measurements to the size chart below.

📏 Tip: If your cargo sits above the rails, add a few inches to your measurement for clearance.
