Abstract: A net of the type having a plurality of intersecting straps forming a lattice structure which is adapted to encompass a load to maintain the load on a support or a pallet. The net comprises a top section having diagonally extending interconnecting straps and integral front, rear, and side sections. The sections are adapted to be connected to the support to maintain a load within the net in place. The front and rear sections are connected to the side sections through the diagonally extending straps of the top section so that a portion of the forces applied to the front or rear section due to acceleration or deceleration of the load are transmitted to the side sections thereby to distribute the forces generated by the load.Other features include means for encircling the load at an intermediate point independently of the sections thereby maintaining smaller loads centrally positioned on the support. Additionally, bracing straps are provided to eliminate undesirable movement of the side sections.
