Great for camper windows too, and additional screening when clipped to a beach umbrella.

I used a smaller rectangular rear window set and combined it with mesh to make a lightweight boot carrier that hub's could slip in and out of his luggage at security. Western boots, laid on the sides. One upside down so they could snug into each other. And, with a divider to keep a little separation.

Hmmm....think I'll use a smaller set to make a little a-line bed screen so hubs isn't bothered by my reading light. And, it could double as an ereader rest. Attach two at the top with velcro or Wonder Clips, connect the bottom with wide enough strip of fabric to open the a-line tent enough to provide a steady base. Gee, that would have been great after surgery with pockets for phones, tissues, remotes.....

Use a small one to make your own suitcase size grid it, love these things but they are weighty, Grid-IT.

I use my card board cutting mat for a window shade when the afternoon sunlight pours into my sewing studio.
