Breezeguard Screens

[Guest]

Anyone use these? Expensive - they could probably be handbuilt for a lot less. If anyone who is handy would be interested in making me a set of these to fit whatever vehicle I get I'll gladly pay you for your time and matierials<br><br>http://muttmanagers.com/<br><br>

<FONT size=3>I just used the&nbsp;adjustable screens you can buy at walmart, home depot or lowes.</FONT><br><FONT size=3></FONT>&nbsp;<br><FONT size=3>I've also used tree netting (used to keep birds off of fruit&nbsp;trees) for the side and back door on my van.</FONT><br><FONT size=3></FONT>&nbsp;<br><FONT size=3>The netting was stronger than the screens.&nbsp; Neither was as pretty as the Breezeguard.</FONT><br>

My main concern is keeping my cats in the vehicle with the windows down. Whatever I put up is going to have to withstand the kitty stretch where they put their paws as high up as they can and stretch. That would be a lot of pressure to expect from netting<br>

WHOOEE! They are proud of those buggers!<br><br>My first thought on those things would be that it'll likely damage you weather stripping with long term use, seeing as how the velcro goes around the top most edge of the door. Also it's not much of a theft deterrent as is advertized, cut the velcro straps and push it out of the way. A thief doesn't care if they damage the car a little, especially if they're only going for what's inside the vehicle not the vehicle it's self.<br><br>That being said i imagine something of the sort could easily be fashioned, though no more a theft deterrent then that(unless it was permanently welded on), to keep cats and dogs in. I'll brainstorm on it, i know them cats are darn good at tearing through screens &gt;.&lt;<br><br>

<P><FONT size=3>The tree netting is REALLY strong (and cheap)! It's about indestructible.&nbsp; I let my dogs&nbsp;teach themselves&nbsp;to stay away from it by letting them get tangled.&nbsp; It took the&nbsp;GSD two times to figure out not to mess with it and the Aussie just once.&nbsp; I don't know if cats would learn the lesson, as easily.</FONT></P>

Thankfully, 4 out of 6 cats don't have front claws. The two with claws have them because they always kept them on a scratching post where they belong but they do that kitty stretch thing. I'm not so worried about theft deterrent and I likely wouldn't leave the screens on 24/7 only when I'm camped and there to supervise my vehicle being open. I would likely install a mesh netting or screening as well for insects.<br><br><br><br>

hang a potted plant on that and you'll have stealth as well!

Nice thinking!<br /><br />But I think rose vines would really make this look good, especially come Spring...

Good idea -- now pink flamingo's <img src="../images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif" alt="" align="absMiddle" border="0" />

We were gonna make one similar to that until we started to calculate material price and it came up around $70 each for metal mesh and 4 mounts. Fortunately, we saw one of these OThru guard on an SUV at our campsite. We bought one and never regret. Very well built. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" /><br />http://www.othru.com
