My way may not be the best but it works for me, especially with the Zagger method. Ultra stiff 1/8” hardware mesh with a pocket of mesh stapled to the back of that slips over and under the pan and holds it securely in place. Everything is inside the jaws. It’s so stiff that it’s easily reusable and doesn’t interfere with the jaws closing. Everything lays perfectly flat.




The white stuff is salt before I give it a light converging of grass, leaves or dirt.



As you can see, no interference with the jaws closing. I’ve had no issues with it.

Are you using just a regular stapler like you would for paper?

how do you guys cut them? i can never get them "clean" i use side cutter but maybe somethign better out there.

Archeryguy, I make & use a similar screen cover. I call it a 'slip on screen cover'. These have worked great for me the past several years.
I use O'G's or Kendal's screen.
For the pocket, I use window screen because it's flexible and easier for me to slip pan into.

Make templet for pan cover & pocket-


I use paper cutter then trim with scissors-

Making em with that pan pocket is a GREAT IDEA!!

Thank you.

I got the idea when a friend sent me camo'd pan covers aka Bob Jameson style pan covers.

As you can see below, I incorporated Bob Jameson slip-on pan cover idea into slip-on screen pan cover.
