Price out a few yards of heavy PVC coated polyester mesh, if you can find it, and then add on about 20 feet of bungee cord, six snap clips, six eye bolts with double nuts and fender washers, 7 feet of 1/2" PVC conduit with two molded end hooks and two couplings, a grommet and 2 feet of smaller bungee cord, plus the labor and equipment to cut and sew the fabric, cut and sew the nylon material for the carry case, cut the conduit to size and install the couplings, print the instructions, and package the finished product. Now tack on a percentage for fixed overhead and profit margin and that $220 starts to look pretty reasonable...
