• a first slat coupled to said inner surface of said fabric material adjacent said top end thereof, said first slat having a first contact surface;
• and
• a second slat coupled to said outer surface of said fabric material adjacent said bottom end thereof, said second slat having a second contact surface and an outer surface;
• wherein said first contact surface of said first slat of a first assembled strip of fabric material is nested with said second contact surface of said second slat of an adjoining second assembled strip of fabric material;
