I was thinking of using a cargo net, the kind you use on top of your auto or truck rack as the 'halo' and ratchet straps on the edges of it to pull the net tight across the top. From reading this, though, I'm thinking I will have a problem with tension being applied by the straps on the top edges of the roofline. I have two cargo nets...perhaps I can stretch them over the roofline so they won't pull on it directly.
