you can buy flat strap hooks like that at your local FLAPS
pepboys has them back in the isle with roof racks, cargo bags and towing items.

Thanks Kam, I can think of two local places that *might* have the hooks, will go or phone there before making and order.

Though, going to need to either go to the fabric store and get screen or find another screen. The one I got at a Liquidation place was way too small. And, now I notice that it doesn't over lap like yours does in the middle.

If I didn't actually enjoy sewing, by the time I spend $10 on the screen,
$10 on the hooks, $10 magnets, $ on twill...I'd be better off buying one of yours, which will be your 10th one vs my 1st one, so better too! LOL

Going to use the screen I bought for the door on the windows. Realized that if I use one of each side for each door folded sideways, it will almost fit perfectly. Will just need to add some sort of twill/binding to the part(s) I sew, so that it doesn't bunch up. I really like the fabric they use on the ones they sell, but do *not* like how they have magnets down the front, where there is no metal on the vehicle window. So, plan on fixing that, which means it does not matter what it costs to make, mine will be better. Cool

Thanks again Kam for the pictures and information!

They want $14.28 to ship $17.40 worth of hooks or $13.22 to ship $8.70 worth of them. Rolling Eyes

I bought 2 of the Instant Mesh Guard (the ones on TV but I got mine at a Factory Direct discount house) set ups ($4.99 each) and will make them into 2 halfs which means the opening will be off centre but that's okay. Here I thought I was being real smart and innovative. Good work all. I don't think I'll use it at night once I'm abed tho, depends where I'm at. A Gathering would be okay but someplace where I'm on my own = no thanks.

Hey Kam…

Update, please - did you ever get into producing these? This is still on
my wish list (hopefully under $100 listed at some OTHER suppliers…) Rolling Eyes

there is an infomercial type of ad playing on our tv listings chanel showing a screen called Magic Mesh? has anyone ever used this? I was thinking of dropping by the Showcase store that sells all that TV crap and taking a look at it to see if it works. if it looks promising i may buy it and try it.

This looks great! Did you do this with a regular sewing machine or do you have upholstery equipment?

I really like the way you have the hooks in place!
