Diy cargo nets

[Notsodirtyhippie]

Yeah I'm going leave it on. We live right outside of Vegas, not much bad weather and the last couple years it really hasnt got cold.
I thought about gluing it then sewing just to keep it together. Ended up being too impatient. I bet you could glue it then throw a stitch or two or even a grommet? Glue would likely be temporary unless you use an epoxy. But that might melt the webbing if it does a chemical reaction. I have some epoxy and could test that theory for you when I get home.

Nice work. Must have been a heck of a job, but you can't beat the satisfaction of doing a good job on something you made yourself!

Thank you. It is totally satisfying. But I don't see ever doing it again. Lol

Sure, if you have extra material and are up for a test, I'd be interested to know the results. If not, no worries. Thanks!

I have plenty of extra. I'll have my kids and dog put if through a torture test and see how it would hold up lol

That cargo net looks really nice. Did you use a regular home sewing machine or something more heavy duty?

 

[Jegar]

Thanks for the extra pics - nice!

Looks like you stole the design from [insert company here]. Come up with your own design and don't steal from someone else!


Too soon? :idontknow: :cheesy:

You are what jeeping is all about! I like your approach and execution. Great project! As you have probably noted, your attitude is revered! Keep us informed on the torture tests but I'm betting all will be fine!

I used my 9 year old daughters $55 at Walmart brother sewing machine. I have a more heavy duty one but its out of commission. Needs to go see the sewing machine people.
