Cheap bed hardware is going to fail you in the same three spots every time, like clockwork. Thin-gauge steel that flexes under load, bare metal that starts rusting after one wet season, and clamps that loosen after a few hundred miles are going to drive you nuts before long. When checking out solutions, keep an eye out for powder-coated steel construction, like the 3/4-inch tubing SuperATV uses on its Pro XP bed enclosure, and gas-strut hinges rather than cheap springs on anything that opens and closes, the way the SuperATV cargo shelf raises and lowers on ball-studded struts instead of a friction hinge. On cargo nets, reinforced anchor points and UV-coated webbing matter more than the mesh pattern. Kemimoto's net uses two rows of metal fixing holes so it doesn't rely on a single stress point that tears loose the first time you hit a whoop.
Prices in this category run from just under 60 dollars to well over 600, depending on how much you're protecting. The Kemimoto cargo net is the budget-friendly entry point at $58.99, and it earns its place: UV-coated webbing and reinforced anchor points for less than the cost of a tank of gas. Most riders land in the middle, in the $99.95 to $269.95 range covered by the UTV Inc spare tire mount and the Rough Country cargo box, where you get real weatherproofing or a dedicated tire carrier without maxing out the budget. At the top end, the SuperATV cargo bed shelf runs $634.95 and earns it with a 75-pound capacity platform, powder-coated steel, and gas struts that hold the deck open hands-free. The most common warranty is between 3–6 months, but Everything Polaris RZR does offer extended 1- and 2-year warranties on all products if that is something you are interested in — you can add the extended warranty right at checkout. Every order also ships with a risk-free 90-day return window, so testing a new bed setup on the trail doesn't mean you're stuck with it if the fit's not right.
Will a bed shelf block me from using the stock cargo bed underneath?
No. The SuperATV shelf listed above sits on gas struts, so you can prop the platform open, load or unload the stock bed, and close it back down without removing anything.
Do clamp-on spare tire mounts work with any tire size?
Not always. The UTV Inc mount above is built around a stock 32-inch tire and wheel. If you've upgraded to a taller aftermarket tire, check the mount's rated diameter before you buy. Size mismatches can happen.
Will a bed cargo net actually hold gear on rough trails, or does everything just bounce out?
A net with reinforced anchor points, like the Kemimoto net's two rows of metal fixing holes, holds up fine on washboard and whoops. Very small or oddly shaped items can still work through the mesh, so pair the net with a storage bag for anything smaller than a water bottle.
Is a bed enclosure or a cargo box better for keeping gear dry?
Both work, but they solve slightly different problems. The SuperATV bed enclosure closes off the entire back of the bed with steel tubing, while the Rough Country cargo box is a sealed, padlockable 27-gallon container. Choose the enclosure for loose or oversized gear, and the box for a single lockable container of smaller items.
Do I need to drill into my RZR to install bed and tailgate accessories?
Most of what's listed here doesn't require drilling. The bed shelf, spare tire mount, and bed enclosure all clamp or bolt to existing frame and roll cage points, and installation instructions ship with each part.
