For the front, what measurements did you guys use to place the grommets? Like 7 inches from each edge? Closer? Farther? Do this project as we speak, don't want to screw it up

Doesn't look like it provides much protection from the sun.

Finished mine yesterday! Cost me about $37...pretty pleased on how well it turned out!

I made it so the edging went right to the soft top door frames to cover that gap between the roll bar.. And for the back side of the mesh it goes over the rear roll bar! Used 12 grommets in totally!

Thanks op!

Ask for screen door mesh!

I suggest if u want something alittle better quality mesh, check with a fabric store! When I went to go get material for my edges I saw some durable ones. But cost alittle more per meter.
