yeah, these are the exacty places I got the stuff. Switch the "x"'s to a "t".
1" regular strap (feels like the strap from a book bag)

2" metal O rings (I thought about getting the black ones)

1" black buckle

Everything feels very sturdy/quality...even though its the cheapeast place I could find the stuff.
I would feel comfortable enough putting them on top of the jeep and laying on them like a hammock.
I don't know if I had to but I sewed every cross section like a square with an X in the middle. I'm not sure if that is proven to be the strongest method or what. Every section anyway, except for where the O-rings are. I couldn't turn the net with the O-ring in because of the foot on the sewing machine. In those area I just put like 8-9 rows of stiching, which should be plenty strong.

Nah, I didn't use all 100 yds. I'm not sure how much I used...I'd guess 50 yds. I was planning to do another net behind the front seats and one over the rear seats. But i'm fine with what I have for now. I think I got enough nylon for all the nets so maybe I used less than 50.

Yup, with all of the good suggestions from this thread, I have started mine also.
Got one side totally done and I am now fine tuning the rear most netting.
The point of using hot glue to hold everything together was genius
By doing that you can test fit/fine tune everything prior to sewing.
Now I just need to finish sewing the rear and the remaining side net.
My wife laughs at me
sitting at her sewing machine working away.

Fast to apply, fast to remove, holds everything in place as you work.
