Pop Top Safety Net

[choco_bear]

Hi all,

New member here - we've just bought a T6 campervan conversion and been away for the first time but felt uneasy leaving both kids (5 and 8) up in the pop top without a parent as they both wriggle about and could easily fall out in the night. I can't seem to find many options for a safety net that is under £110 from CampervanPartsUK. I wondered if anyone knew of anywhere else besides ebay where I could purchase one? Or had a robust DIY solution? Or does anyone have one they no longer use and would be willing to part with?

Thanks in advance, and glad to be a part of the forum!

I'm currently reworking my setup here.

I've got a board that fills the gap but I made it to big really. It looks good but isn't practical when my 6 year old is up there.



I'm using a net at the moment to catch pillows. It probably wouldn't stop a kid but would break their fall.



I've actually just brought 46 x 18 in RV Bunk Safety Net with Adjustable Straps and Mounting Kit | Breathable mesh with 17.1-31.5 inch straps, two pockets and 22-piece hardware for RV, camper, motorhome and trailer bunk use. : Amazon.co.uk: Business, Industry & Science its a little too wide but I think i can make it work and for £30 I'm cool with that.

Thanks - that looks like a good idea. Presumably you'll only fit it to the elevating board with screws and not the vehicle frame so that you can open the roof up and down. Looking at the width of the product it'll be the four inner holes and you'll leave the outer ones - like attached? My elevating board is only 92cm wide so I think I would have to do the same.
