A cargo restraining barrier configured to be mounted to a cargo deck surface of an aircraft. The cargo restraining barrier includes a base portion, a barrier portion arranged substantially perpendicular to the base portion at a first edge on the top side of the base portion, a plurality of force diverting struts mounted in parallel along the extension of the barrier portion between a backside of the barrier portion and a second edge of the base portion opposite to the first edge of the base portion. The force diverting struts are configured to divert forces acting on the front side of the barrier portion towards the base portion, and a plurality of first latches distributed over the bottom side of the base portion, hooking into tie down rings of a cargo deck surface and to direct the diverted forces from the force diverting struts into the cargo deck surface.
