I think the Honda cargo net is great: it does a great job of holding both big and tiny items from sliding around, and it really fits with the interior "look" of the Insight.

In the interest of saving a few bucks, I decided to make my own. This is what I did:

1. I ordered a 3' x 3' piece of BLACK "golf ball" net from www.astorianetshop.com. This netting  has 7/8" grid, and is made of a polyester type material. It was perfect for the job, and the fellow only charged me about $10 with shipping to Canada. (The hardest part was finding the web site in the first place. You'd be amazed at how much irrelevant junk you turn up when searching the 'net for the word "net".)

2. I searched around until I found some solid black colored bungee cord, and some small black bungee cord hooks. I was picky about getting these items in black, as wanted my final product to look as good as Honda's. The bungee cord I got was 3/8" in size, which ends up being pretty tight. If I were to do this project again, I might use thinner bungee cord, more similar to Honda's net.

3. I cut the net to a size of 40 squares by 40 squares, which made it about 35" x 35". I then threaded the bungee chord through the hooks and weaved up and down around the edge of the net. I then connected the bungee chord to itself by using a pair of pliers and a small wire ring that happened to come with the bungee chord hooks.

4. Next, I used a candle to melt the rough ends where the netting had been cut, so that it won't unravel

5. (Optional) I could have left the net just as it was, but I wanted it to look really slick, so I bought some polyester type black edging from a fabric store. This stuff is esentially a long woven strap that has been folded in half lengthwise. I got a piece wide enough to fit over the bungee chord and cover the rough ends of the net, and long enough to make a border around the entire net. I then fired up the sewing machine and sewed this border around the edge of the net, while still allowing the chord to slide freely. Iterestingly, Honda has done this on two of the four sides of their net. I'm not sure which way around they intend their net to be oriented.

The end product looks really professional, and was cheap and easy to make.
