Help with privacy covering for balcony?

Question

I am moving to an upstairs apartment with a fairly large balcony. The railing is very spaced and offers no privacy and I am interested in using bamboo to fill in the space between the railing but would also like some sort of lightweight straw matting that can be attached up top and hang down when I would like more added privacy. Is anyone familiar with such a product and the best place I can purchase it? I live in the Bay Area, California.

Thank you.

Answer 1

The cheapest place I know to get roll up bamboo is large lengths is Cost Plus World Markets.  And, they also carry straw matting that is weather proof and won't mildew.
