Hi all
How about making a bar to restrain things in the van.
Take 2 broom handles of suitable thickness, 2 dowels of decent thickness and some heavy elastic bands together with some feet made from ply or similar with rubber or something protective stuck on one side.
Drill a hole in each of the broom handles at an appropriate place to take dowel and glue dowel in place. Attach foot on each broom handle and hey presto, there you have it. I know that you'll need some other sliding thing as well so that the handle won't simply come apart.
I'm sure that many of you can imagine the type of thing I'm proposing.
Any good taking this any further? You could have a fixed one on one side of the load with some hooked ends and have an adjustable one on the other side of the load.
