not much room at all; i mounted it across the width of the trunk, using
the backseat as the side that the bungee stores against

since the net is about 18" tall and about 52" wide, with four points
that have loops to connect;i attached the two lower points of the net to
the pivots of the seats on the floor, then attached the upper two loops
to where the seat latches into the body of the car at the top; this
allows me to have the net stretched across the seat; i pull it forward
and store items in it; the bungee pulls the items taunt against the back
of the seats;
