Wind screen material

Postby micbrody » Fri Feb 10, 2017 11:30 am

I saw much older posts of Brady Breeze Blocker.
I have a roll bar; and really like the look of it mounted within outline of roll bar.

I tried contacting Brady, but no luck. Old email; not a member here.

I would make one; but wonder what (specific) is the wind screen material?

A miata screen fit the outline of my roll bar like it was made for it.

I used a tightly woven porch screen material designed to keep mosquitos out. Found it at Lowe's .

I plan on using screening material that is meant to be strong enough for pets scratching at it. It's some crazy strong polyester-like stuff. I used it on a screen door. Looks perfect after 2 years of dog scratches. I have huge roll of extra material

I have a wind blocker made from a very strong metal rod and screen door material. But, it mounts to the headrests and I've reupholstered and haven't put them back. Looks much sleeker without.

Just out of curiosity... what's everyone using for the frame? I keep looking at copper tubing and it looks possible. The screen itself doesn't worry me, but the strength on the frame does.
