Re: covers for door nets?

I have been considering going to a canvas place and seeing how much it would be for custom fabricated canvas doors. Doors are way over priced and heavy so I have been thinking of a cheap alternative. I like the nets but mud flicks thru and up me shorts which is a pain! Canvas is my only idea so far

Re: covers for door nets?

Hi Guys,

I have made myself a set of cheap door skins as I like to call them. I went to Harbor Freight and bought a cheap blue trap and a grommet kit. I cut the tarp about 1 1/2" larger on all sides then I needed. I folded the 1 1/2" over and glued the 1 1/2" down. After the glued dried I used the grommet kit to install grommets where I needed them. I put the door skins on the out side of the door nets using wire ties or zip ties to hold the skins to the nets. These cheap door skins do help to keep out some of the wind, mud or snow. I used a piece of cardboard as a template for the skins. I have less then $8 in my door skins.

I hope this helps,

Sounds like you got you some nice economical doors , could you post some pics of them? I do have one question though. When you are riding and they start to get a little wind behind them does the tarp make noise or is it pulled tight enough that it doesn't? If you dont mind I might use your idea to make me a set.

I will try to post some pictures this weekend. I have never posted pictures before. I hope there is a sticky out there on posting pictures.

I hope the idea of using a cheap tarp and some gomments could help someone out. I don't need to spend a bunch of money. I am looking for something that is functional and cheap. About the noise of the tarp, I could not really hear it. The trail riding that I do is not fast but more technical. If I were to do it over, I would make the tarp touch the floor to help keep out more water and mud. Working on the door skins is a nice way to have something cold to drink.

Have fun with your project,

Re: covers for door nets?

Devil , Iam trying to get all this in my head.Did you fold the tarp over the edge of the net or put it flush? Where do the rubber grommets go?
