I have a roof deck like pic related and I want to hang up some sort of fabric/screening so I can nude tan without worrying about having the cops called by my neighbors. I tried hanging up canvas last year but it blocked wind too much and got ripped off on high-wind days. Does anyone know a good fabric to block view from ~30 ft away and allow enough wind passage to stay up all the time?
>r u grill?
rattan/reed/bamboo screen/fence.
element proof, reasonable compromise between sight block / air passage, looks OK, reed stuff is cheep, etc.

Tin foil. just tin foil the whole fucking fence. you cannot deny this is the best idea ever. you get maximum rays from all angles, while heaving maximum privacy.
try cutting evenly spaced downward v shape slits in the fabric, don't tie the fabric taught, leave it to flex.
Fabric mesh banners.
Advertise the space for advertisement, get paid and privacy.

no, but my gf is and will be up there so you can picture her if you want
reed screen is a good idea, thanks for that

I was thinking something similar- Cutting the fabric into 1ft wide sections and having them overlap slightly as I place them around the perimeter, would hopefully let air through without compromising the vision deterrent aspect too much
also, think a staple gun would do the trick? Or should I tie the fabric off to the beams?

No, just no. That's how you get flappy failure. You want it tight so that it doesn't flap. If you want to build in some flex use trampoline springs on the attachment points. But keep it tight.
I'm not sure if you can find this stuff around anymore but Swedish snow cammo is pretty awesome for shade and wind tolerance. It will sufficiently screen views too. It's basically tyvek with holes in it. I've used it at Burning Man many times where dust storms are a regular occurrence. It lets enough wind through without becoming a sail. Again springs can add that extra flex for the big gusts while keeping it tight.

I think tying them down would be better, means they are easy to remove when you don't need them or if you ever want to replace them/wash them, and it doesn't damage the surface any.
