I would wager that some of the stock cargo nets found in Tahoes, Acadias,
Suburbans and that ilk might fit the bill straight from the dealer with the
addition of four D-rings.

Just a thought seeing as they are pretty well made - the cargo nets - from
what I have seen.

Cheers!

Subject: Re: Cargo net . . .

I wrote to Jonce (the awning guy over at The Samba) to see if he had any
inclination to make a cargo net to hold stuff away from the rear hatch so it
would not tumble out when the hatch is opened. He writes to say:

Hi

I have seen that post but did not have time to respond to it since I am out
of Town till the 1st of August.
I do have sources for commercial netting for all sorts of things and could
fairly easily make something up. I would have to do a time study and cost
out what it would take to make it. Using the existing snaps might be an
issue since it will have a negative pull on the stud.
Basically the angle is wrong for it to hold much of anything BUT we can
always install 1 lift a dot or maybe a lashing hook.
When I get back in town I will be able to post to the list and toss in my 2
cents on how to make it work.
It should be doable and could also adapt to Bay / Eurovan as well.
You can contact me on this forum if you need to contact me but I can not
send to the Vanagon list till I am back in town.
C-ya Jonce
BTW
Feel free to post this to the Vanagon List if you like.
Thanks

So maybe he'll feel inspired to bang together some functional item that a
few of us might find useful. I know I could use one.

Troy: eggs before they are hatched and everything, I'm still interested in
what you're drumming up.
