I want to make storage pockets on the panels and maybe over the cargo area for shoes/helmets etc. Possibly 2 wheels over the top.
The internet is awash with netting...can anyone recommend good suppliers please?
And then any good tips for attaching it with enough stretch but not too much.
Cheers

I got this one a few years ago (paid £7 at the time).

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-Universal-Car-Trunk-Storage-Cargo-Luggage-Nylon-Elastic-Mesh-Net-110x38cm/272820073433

Comes with attachments to screw into ply but I wanted it on the metal bulkhead at the front of the load bay so I used 4 of those car vinyl wrapping magnets to hold it on. I'm sure there's a fancier solution but it works great & I can't argue with the price!

Thanks for those links.
Do you both know if the mesh is elastic or just the edges?

Motorbike cargo nets are fully elastic and have hooks around the edge

@survivor - got any photos of them installed?

I'm looking for some for our van too. What do you store in them?

Go to local boat chandlers. We’ve had a few from ours in Exeter.
