    Privacy curtains

    I recall seeing a mention somewhere of detachable curtains or similar screens for the back side and rear windows for a wagon that were an off-the-shelf item.
    I am unable to find any info now.
    Anyone know about these?

    I had idea where I cut some black flexible perspex the same shape as the cargo area windows.
    Seemed like a great idea as it would shield that area from any direct sunlight, they were held
    in place via 5 x double sided suction cups.
    The ones you're after are made from reflective silver material. from memory there is a thread
    , where they have CAD drawings in PDF of the shape required. Then these are ones that go on
    the outside to prevent rock strikes whilst towing. Maybe have a search and see what you come up with.

    OK thanks. Been searching but couldn't find anything.
    I am looking for internal covers to save making curtains. And there is no easy way to fix curtains either - I was thinking suction cups with dowel top and bottom - not great but probably workable.

    Walk into officeworks buy some corriboard (you choose the color) for peanuts, cut to shape of inside windows, but slightly larger to overlap trims. Install on windows, and tuck edges under trims.

    Thanks Stropp - that is what I saw but couldn't remember where.
    And never thought about the corriboard idea either, Hodge.
    Will now re-look at the possibilities.

    I got some insulation from Bunnings a while back, it looks like double sided reflective bubble wrap, similar to the stuff some of the windscreen sunshades are made of. Used duct tape on the cut edges to make it neater.

    You may find if you make it tooo neat it wont breathe,,,,
    as in the air in between gets hotter and the material will
    billow out simple corri board would work with suction cups
    Size you need is roughly 450mm x 350mm then start trimming to suit.

    I used the same stuff I reckon. It is garage door insulation. I got it on chuck out for $20 the roll.
