Mosquito & fly netting for van ...

[PattySprinter]

Last year I bought a 9' mosquito net for an umbrella table - paid $20 and never used it and almost gave it away.
Tonight I was looking at it and saw that it had a zipper and took it down to my ProMaster and started cutting away.
There is enough netting to make a zippered covering for the sliding door, another covering for back of the van when the barn doors are open and for both driver and passenger window with excess left over.
I used magnets (might use Velcro instead) to hang them for now and I have black gorilla tape I will use to hem them.
Just thought I would share this - if it sounds like a cheap way to protect against bugs and critters - I have not done any research on other ways.

Back in the '70's I paid big bucks for a side door netting system (yeah, I'm old). It had a zipper and was held in place with snaps. The snaps were in a good heavy binding that the screen attached to. When I sold the cvan in the early '90, the screen went with it.

You way definitely sounds doable.

Brian - Back Roads Vanner (sp?) on youtube gives a tutorial on how to do what you just described. It is very nice looking.
Yours must have been done very well to last over 20 years!

I seen someone use a old tent netting. They cut it to fit there doors. 
I have lace curtans that i hang in my windows for privacy. I could have sun come in but not nosy eyes. I cut the laces curtains to fit our cab windows. I sewed  binding tape on the edges.

I got that magnetic screen door for my house front door (discount stor: $4.99)...beloved cats thought it was a cat door but they are not allowed out! So I use one panel of each for my RAV4 windows. I open the both front and back passenger doors, drape the no-magnet side over from outside so it just covers the top edge of the doors, close the doors on it, then arrange the magnets below the windows. I use painters tape to pull the bottom ends taut if need be. On the driver's side, I open the passenger door, drape, close door, arrange magnets and tape that portion. Then sitting in the driver's seat, I pull that door toward me, arrange the top over the door via the open driver-side window, carefully close the door, arrange the magnets through the window, then adjust all 4 windows to allow ventilation, but not open enough to allow a hand / arm to enter. Great cross ventilation and prevents condensation. If I had rain deflectors I wouldn't even have to start the car and raise the windows if it rains....until then that is a small price to pay for being cooler and bug free.
