Light Screen for the back yard
This is the setup I use to light screen the yard, 3 tarps (2mx3m) and 10 adjustable poles (very cheap from kmart or discount stores) some 15mm pvc tube, ag pipe, plastic garden edging, 10 bricks with holes and cable ties.
The poles are placed in the ground through a brick with holes buried just below the ground, the 3 tarps are attached to the top spike of the poles and bottom of poles with cable ties, a section of 12mm pvc pipe is cut to length,drilled and attached by the pole spikes and placed between each pole and separates the poles at the top, some split ag pipe acts like conduit around the top and 150mm plastic garden edging around the bottom. It is free standing but I use tent pegs and rope for when it in very windy. For comfort I added 3m x 3m tarp cut to fit inside floor and carpet.
Its dimensions are 2m high by 3m in diameter and is very effective at stopping the stray light and keeps the wind out as well.
