How to construct a lightweight privacy panel 3-4ft high by 8ft long or thereabout

deckpartition

I have a two-story deck with the upper part on the roof, and I lay on top to sunbathe. The top was surrounded by a fence, but after installing solar panels close to the deck I removed a large part of the fence to avoid shading. I would like to find some lightweight portable panels three to four feet high so I can have privacy.

What I visualized is a rectangular tube frame with fabric stretched, and two flat bars attached at the bottom for feet. Three feet high would be best, but four foot max.

How about using the systems that are used to hide A/C units? they are 3-4 feet high, attractive in appearance and you can link together as many as you wish. And when you want to take them down they are light and can be easily broken down and stored. They come in white, but with a little PVC paint they can become any color you desire.

Another option would be creating a frame with boards and attaching trellis boards. With this option you can use hinges and make it fold for easy removal and storage. You could also add some pretty artificial foliage for extra privacy.
