Cabinet overhead netting

Does anyone have a line on netting that could be used for the space over kitchen cabinets to keep thing in place? I found these nets but they're not the right size. My space is 72" across and they only have 32" and 42". I could put two together but it would be nice to have a single 72" net. Any suggestions?

  • JoAnne Fabric sell netting. That, some binding tape and a bit of sewing and voila!, Bob's your uncle.

    Trampoline enclosure netting, 6' by somewhere around 30', for $34.50

    Genuine army fishnet, 5' by 10', on sale for $17

    Naltex extruded polypropylene netting, you'd have to enquire about the price for a 6' + length but I'd guess it would be around $8

    In either case, add a few dollars for shipping and handling unless you're looking for an excuse to take a trip up towards Chicago or Milwaukee.


    You have to love this forum. Ask a simple question and get so much good advice. I just ordered an 8"X72" net from Obie. Thank you for the link.

    Someone posted a link here a couple years ago to a cargo net site that had an astonishing range of sizes, plus custom, all extremely cheap.

    I bookmarked it, but the computer it was on his toast.

    If anyone has the link, I'd love to see it again!
