I asked the same thing a few months ago and eventually bought the cargo net. The picture shows both the ceiling cargo net and the pet net. I was told it is possible to unhook the two front straps of the cargo net and it will hang down as a divider between Rover and the back seat. I have not done this yet but it looks like it should work quite well. I can see however, that you would have to find something to tie the now loose straps to on the floor or the back seat if you want to keep the barrier tight.
