So im looking for cheap options on how to stop the woodchip spray off the my back box when chipping into my truck. I currently just have two high walls on the side and the back wall has holes in it. Even once the holes are covered though, chip still sprays off onto the roof and street, even when I raise the bed when chipping.

 

Im thinking of some sort of canvas roof creation just on the end near the cab to stop the spray, or maybe just making something out of ply but im trying my best not to look like a dodgey tree assasin.

 

Anyone got any better more elegant ideas?

Fairly fine horticultural mess works well. Its the stuff that's used as wind break. Its better than canvas as it doesn't collect water and allows air through, so you don't get blowback pushing chip round the boards.

 

You will get fine dust going through it, but this is easily blown away.

Similar material but free if you can find it is a section of old trampoline safety netting.  I use an entire one to line the sides of my tipper trailer for chipping into.
