What material do I need for a light screen?

I figured I can use weed clothing, but not sure what kind of wood to make at least 2.5m high frame....

Sorry, my DIY terminology is limited and not sure what to search for. I'm making something like the picture below, but rather use wooden frames instead of pipes.

Well I bought the largest black out blind in black - detached it from its roll (usually cardboard or aluminium) and fed a washing line though the end where you normally install a strip of plastic to weight the blind down when it's used normally.   :D

The washing line is looped at either end, a hook is installed into the masonry of my house and attached to a pole on one of those cast iron patio stands.

It works very well at screening out local LP and it's so easy to pack away at end of the session.

The secret is to design the setup so that it's a fast set up time.

If your screen is for that cursed street light, install the some ground tubes/metal ground spikes in concrete (the ones you can get for washing lines) and buy poles to set into the tubes when setting up - if you have to buy tall ones, you may not be able to install them permanently because of planing regs.
