I neeeeeeed a more in depth video please I'm living in my car and I tried this but it's bad I like how you added hooks to keep it up and out of the way I wanna know where I can drill those hooks into the roof please I need this but I need a more in depth video please
@2:27 you bolted a steel hook into the ceiling. Can you explain more about how to do that? Like specifically how did you know how far in to go, and how did you know you wouldn't go into the actual metal of the roof and go through the roof? How does that work? And how do you know which cars you can do that and which ones can't? Your video is genius. Very cool. You went further than others on building the cargo net instead of just buying it.
I used an existing hole in one of the roof braces, meant for a headliner clip. I simply tapped threads into the hole and screwed the hook in. If your car has headliner push clips, you should be able to do the same thing.
I just made each strand about twice the length of the final dimension and cut off the extra when I reached the size I wanted. A bit of cord was wasted, but it's sure better than coming up short.
@@reed.k.h and your headliner doesn't sag? Perhaps the J hooks you used have built in washers that support the headliner? You inspired me to weave a ceiling net for my Scion XB, that I sometimes camp in. I just ordered the Paracord. Thank you.
What formula did you use to determine the length of each strand relative to the desired dimensions of the cargo net? I've been searching the internet and found a couple of formulas. I cut the length of my weaving strands by following one of those formulas and the strands were way too short to create the cargo net in my desired dimensions.

@@reed.k.h thank you. That's a lot simpler than some of the complicated formulas I saw! I used one of those formulas and wasted a bunch of cord (I repurpose it, but it was rendered useless to make my net)
Dude way to go! I’ve been looking for retention solutions for humanitarian supplies/personal gear in vehicles here in Ukraine. Going to custom up my own nets based off of this. Thank you.
JESUS CHRIST you're handy, is there nothing you can't do?! Somebody, put this guy on America's Next Top Handyman. Damn.
I know right!?
nice™️👀
Thanks a lot! This is exactly what i'm gonna do for my overland car! Great and simple!
A lot of tedious knot tying, but it works great!

Here's the video I used as reference: czcams.com/video/kti0UXeoMUA/video.html
Because it’s made of paracord, I believe you can call this “TACTICAL.”
I'd like to, but while making it the paracord got all twisted and I ended up with tacticular torsion.
Brilliant!
Agreed!
What are the lengths that you used?
After watching this video, I have only two words…. Great job
I also have two words: thank you
Sick. Great job

Great idea and skills.
So many thank
Wait I need to know how much paracord you purchased for this

What did you screw the J hook into? That car ceiling is just fiberglass.
Did you drill into the car ceiling cross members?
Thanks for the video.

@@edgarvelasco7130 Nope, no issues with sagging. Glad I could spark some inspiration!

It works pretty well
Yeah I'd say it works pretty well.
550 lbs or 350 lbs or 250 lbs paracord? Which did you use?
I bought the 550 lbs, but I think it's too thick, overkill for this application.
I used 550. Definitely overkill, but it's the most common paracord.
@@reed.k.h thank you

Excellent, glad I could help! I watched your refugee aid video. I have so much respect for your efforts!
Why didnt you just buy a premade cargo net?
Because I love a bit of creative problem solving
Was going to like and share until that totally disgusting coffee slurping.
Boo hoo
