Abstract: A convenience net for use in a vehicle includes first and second rods, each having a first and a second end. The first and second rods are substantially rigid. A first cord extends between the first ends of the first and second rods, and a second cord extends between the second ends of the first and second rods. A mesh extends between the first and second rods and between the first and second cords. First and second attachment members are operatively connected to the first and second rods, respectively, and disposed between the first and second ends thereof. The first cord may be formed from an elastic material, and the second cord may be formed from a substantially inelastic material. A third cord may extend between the rods, and the mesh may extend between the rods and between the second and third cords, forming an envelope.
