Abstract
A visual barrier windscreen comprising a first series of monofilament threads, a second series of monofilament threads, and a third series of monofilament threads. The first series of threads may be formed in pillar stitches, the second series of threads may be formed in zig-zag stitches, and the third series of threads may be formed in zig-zag stitches. A pattern of wind-passage holes may be formed by a cooperation of the first series, the second series, and the third series of threads. At least a 75% visual block may be attained with the cooperation of the first series, the second series and the third series of threads. The cooperation of the first series, the second series, and the third series of threads may achieve an air flow permeability that may be greater than 755 cfm/ft2.
