Cargo Net Alternatives

We're used to vertical cargo nets on Lexus vehicles, but Mercedes Benz has horizontal cargo nets:

Are there cargo net alternatives more suited for holding grocery bags upright rather than holding items on the floor of the cargo compartment?

FWIW, we are using the MB Cargo tray with two MB cargo boxes.

Since our third row is usually folded it works well as the boxes have variable partitions and can be positioned as desired on the tray. For those occasions when we need the third row the mat and containers are easily removed.

Thanks for the suggestion to try the MB Cargo tray with two MB cargo boxes.

The MB cargo net can be installed so that it forms a 'pouch' ... open at the top and closed at the bottom to hold bagged groceries and other 'formless' items that otherwise would roll and spill. It's not as neat looking as the installation instructions indicate with the net stretched tight and covering the entire cargo area, but with the third row of seats up it is convenient.
