Shade Cloth Stone Screen (that doubles for a mat)

A major problem travelling on outback gravel roads is that stones are flung up from the rear wheels, hit the van then bounce back through the rear window or damage the paintwork on the towing vehicle especially 4WD's and hatchbacks. This stone guard certainly works, is easy and quick to put on and take off.  It probably will not suit all vehicles as the mounting of the eyebolts might be a problem.  Measurements will vary with different vehicles.  The device also doubles as an effective awning mat.
