Light Screen Needed

Hi All,
After moving house and building my new Obs in my new house I am faced with intruding street lights.
I'm thinking about screens to block out this light...
In my last Obs I used Ply on hinges painted the appropriate colour on the inside but this time I am wondering if there are easier ways to do it.

Any ideas??

Many thanks in advance.

Paul

This was my take on a solution with my roll off. Works well for me as the roof pitch is quite steep but pretty certain you could work something out

2 x Bunnings black out blinds
Half a dozen pulleys and shackles

An adjustable screen.

LOL! Thanks h0ughy...Yep a screen of some sort...unless The Reject Shop sells 10 foot high plastic hedges or waiting for at least 5+ years for a real one to grow a pull me down screen sounds easier....thanks for your thoughts...

I have thought about this, even along the lines of a paint gun! But knowing my luck I would get arrested at my first attempt!

Ooh well went down the old route and decided on marine 5 ply, which is slightly thinner ply than my last effort, this one is easier to manage. used wingnuts and washers to secure the boards and all it needs now is a coat of flat black paint to which I will wait until the damp weather turns before it gets it....

Thanks all for your comments and ideas, much appreciated.
