There is a law about fitting luggage restraint loops in estate cars and the
like. We carry a 13kg bottle of LPG in the back of our estate, *well*
secured with luggage straps. It would be difficult to secure all heavy
tools etc. in the back of a van with straps.

You should have a mesh between you and the tools just as a security
precaution. I would suggest another padlocked inside the back door(s)
too as vehicle doors are notoriously susceptible to thieves.

If I lived anywhere near a region where thieves smash and grab, I'd
fit them on the windows too.

Road mattress mesh is light, large and strong I don't know how cheap
though. It hinders viewing very little and can be easily fitted after
painting some neutral colour.
