Does anyone have suggestions for what to use as a cargo net to keep objects from flying around in the area behind the seat during flight?

I've seen either Red or Black look nice in the aircraft.

With the plastic hooks, I doubt this would meet the load rating requirements of the net in the POH. There are others listed on Amazon with beefier hooks, but no load rating. Buying some small carabiners to replace the hooks would probably get to the load rating, but that's a guess as there is no rating on these nets. But here are some cheap carabiners with a 500lb load rating:

Has anyone else tried this...and where do you attach the net (or did you have to add fastener points yourself)? I was flying last week with the windows out - I am careful to make sure nothing is loose in back that is likely to fly around - when out of the corner of my eye I saw something white flying out the co-pilot window and I instinctively (successfully) snatched it out of mid-air before it got out the window. Good thing, as it was my airworthiness certificate that had managed to fly out of the plastic pocket somehow and was departing the airplane. When I got back the entire plastic pocket was on the floor, another issue to solve in reattaching somehow more permanently I guess (Liquid Nails Fuze It probably?).

I had the same issue with mine. New adhesive was not enough to properly secure to rear inspection hatch and let’s face it, it’s in a bad place. I bought a more secure plastic/canvas pocket/window. I adhered it to the Right Seat floor area where the checklist elastic strap is. Easier to access for the customs/FAA guys and right next to my ELT sticker. Can send pictures.

Can send pictures.

Please do. This is one of the small things I noted to Icon years ago that would be easily addressed if they mounted attachments during manufacturing, but putting something in afterwards that secures to the structure with screws instead of just adhesive, isn't something that should be done without an MRA.

Here is where I put the fully adhered pocket:

But we are talking about the cargo area (in the back, behind the seats)?

The cargo Inspection hatch is where Icon put the sleeve/docs. I moved them to the right-side floor area as shown in picture. No more papers caught in the draft back there.

I understand, but I'm talking about a cargo net for the entire back/cargo area, not something about the registration/AW cert docs, that was just a single example of things flying around, but hats, towels, anything back there could potentially do so.
