skip cover.........

Do you think 1 of those skip covers would make a good chip box? ive bought a transit tipper van and the back has wire mesh greedy boards on the back with angle iron round the edges then its bolted onto the sides. So as im short on money i thought about bolting two cross members from one side to another to give the sides more strength and stop them flapping about. The idea was to stretch the skip net over the sides and over the top tuck it under the greedy boards and tie wrap it onto the top! Hope that makes sense! i thought it would be perfect as no chip could pass through the sides because the holes in the mesh is so small and it weighs next to nothing apart from it looking a bit tatty i cant see any problems with it? any ideas? Could put ply wood up the sides and maybe use that on the top just to make it look a bit tidier?

any fines/ dust from chipping will pass through the netting leaving lots of clear up
