Default My $20 mesh top

I made my own mesh top a while ago and I thought that I would share.
I bought the material at a hardware store for $10. I cut it and shaped it myself.

The kit to make the holes was about $5

And to hold it I used some bungee cords that were also $5
On the highway it does not flap or make any annoying noises, granted I only go about 60-65 mph. It has done better than I expected.

Default material

Where did you find the material? I am wanting to do something like that but havent been able to find the mesh anywhere. I like the idea of it because it is something that could be left on with the soft top up to.

I bought it at All American in the patio/garden area. I think it was called a sun shad/screen?
Yes and it is possible to put the soft top up with he mesh still there.

Ya I did not sew anything I just folded the material in half to have two layers and then I just made the holes so the two layers would hold.
