Easy additional storage

[Ocean]

Hi everyone! Thought I would post this here in the Girls Room.&nbsp;I'm sure others have had this idea but I thought I'd&nbsp;share anyway in case it may be of use to anyone. As some of you know, I'll be heading out in a couple of weeks in a pickup truck equipped with an older camper shell. Space is definitely at a premium. So, as I was going through some things here at the house, I found a large piece of heavy fabric that I was originally going to toss/donate. Then it occured to me that I could make a couple of small, simple hammocks with it to suspend from the supports in my camper shell. I cut the material in two sections, gathered the ends of each piece and secured with zip ties to form a hammock, then used some cheap metal shower curtain hooks to attach to the camper shell supports. They should work well for some of the lighter things...extra socks, rolled up shirts, hand towels, etc. <img class="emoticon bbc_img" src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif">

Ocean. Love your idea and I have lots of heavy material. Most probably know this idea but... can use pant legs off old jeans-sew one end shut and put in a pull string at top to close it and can hang it. Nora

Boaters regularly usehammocks like this made of netting. If you don't have any fabric, try a chandlery. The nets are light and allow air circulation. But I admit, they may not be as attractive as a
solid fabric unit because you can see all the stuff inside.
