I just buy extra boards so I will have enough for the job when I get to the job site. Usually 1 per mile works nicely.

Similar but not as heavy duty. I have a piece of commercial fish net, the kind where they winch in a ton of fish, cut down from a torn net to fit over my 4x8 trailer. Carabiner clips secure the corners to my tiedowns. Then a couple of ropes across that. Nothing can fly out.

Can anyone suggest a source for a scrap piece of heavy commercial fishnet? I could use a slightly larger one and can't find a source.
Make your own. All that's involved is line & knots. Relatively easy (albeit tedious) process. A roll of line (paracord, dyneema, kevlar, 1/4 inch nylon or dacron, whatever), a knotting needle, sizing card and a few hours & you are there. Can add a stronger border line from something like 5/16 or 3/8 if you do a spliced grommet & then it'll be tailored to the size you want. Just look up net knotting on google & you'll have any number of videos that show the process. Big advantage of making your own is that 1. it'll teach you a new skill that can come in handy any number of times in your life, 2. you're not limited to the strength or mesh size ... customize it to what you want to hold in, and 3. better quality than machine made so it'll last longer (as long as you are using quality rope/line). Finally, if you learn to make your own, you also know how to repair your own if you tear out pieces or cut it on sharp edges.
