How did attach the 2" webbing? Pics? What length bungee ball?

Default advice?

I went to the Home Depot around me and they looked at me like I had 2 heads when I asked them if they have UV tarps/mesh.
Does anyone have a link to an online source for the mesh tarp, given the fact that I can't seem to find it locally?
I searched around online a bit, but can only find large tarps that are 12' x 24', etc., and are a ton of money.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Those things look great. A cheap and easy sun screen!

How many bungee balls are you using? It looks like about ten in the pictures but kind of hard to tell.

Anyone completed a good highway run yet? How do they perform at speed?

Nice job, I think I will save myself some money and make my own.

Thanks for posting!

I've run mine a few times on the highway. I'm pretty sure it's quieter, but I could be wrong. I have no flapping and used 15 bungee's based loosely off the Spiderweb shade layout. I got the same orange bungee's pictured by Rubiman's, but I Plasti-dip'd mine black.
