A stowable cargo restraining gate assembly (10, 10', 10", 10'") for restraining cargo (100) in a cargo space (30) of a transport vehicle (40). The assembly preferably includes a bed liner structure (20, 20', 20", 20'")that may be positioned on the bed of the cargo space (30) and at least one gate member (60, 60', 60", 60'") that may be flexible or rigid. When not deployed to retain cargo, the gate member (60, 60', 60", 60'") is storable in a gate storage cavity (70, 70', 70", 70'")in the bed liner. In one embodiment, a flexible gate member (60) is rolled about an axle (110) and stored in a cavity (70) in the bed liner (20). During use, an end member (50) of the flexible gate member is pulled to unroll a length thereof that may be used to close a side of the cargo space (30), preferably the rear of aft end (31) of the storage space. In other embodiments, the gate member (60', 60", 60'") is rigid and when deployed or stowed, may be moved out of and back into a gate storage cavity (70, 70', 70", 70'") in the bed liner (20, 20', 20", 20'"). The bed liner structure (70'") may also accommodate a drawer assembly (200) in which additional cargo may be stored.
