Default Roof/ Rear/ Side Cargo netting

I have wanted to do this mod for awhile,seems easy enough, would need a few basic things:

- Netting Material 1"-1.5" wide
- Circle rings for the Corners
- Hand Punch/press pliers
- Lots of free time(aka Canadian Winters)

My question is, at all the interceptions of the mateial instead of sewing them, what else could be done?

Has anyone already experiented with different things like super glue(Gorrilla Glue), or some type of rivet?

And what kind of ideas do people have to connect the netting to the "sport bars" lol? would you use velcro straps, or like a buckle?

Its better to think and not waste money on stuff, and i know there is lots of interest in this mod from previous threads. Most people want to buy these nets but i prefer to custome make it the way i want it.

What does everyone think,ay good ideas floating around?

I've seen straps and rivets. I think I want to use nylon rope and carabiners for my netting.

You can make grommet holes in each strap and 'grommet' them together.
