Visual barrier windscreen, including knitted interlocking chains forming wind passage holes, and associated methods

A visual barrier windscreen comprising:

• a first series of monofilament threads formed in pillar stitches extending in a first direction;
• a second series of monofilament threads formed in zig-zag stitches extending in a second direction and binding the pillar stitches;
• and
• a third series of monofilament threads formed in zig-zag stitches extending in a third direction opposite the second direction and also binding the pillar stitches;
• wherein a pattern of wind-passage holes are formed by a cooperation of the first series, the second series, and the third series of monofilament threads;
• wherein the cooperation of the first series, the second series, and the third series of monofilament threads achieve an air flow permeability that is greater than 755 cfm/ft2;
• and
• wherein the visual barrier windscreen is configured to be installed on a fence.

A method of making a visual barrier windscreen, the method comprising:

• forming a first series of threads in pillar stitches;
• forming a second series of threads in zig-zag stitches binding the pillar stitches;
• forming a third series of threads in zig-zag stitches binding the pillar stitches;
• and
• forming a pattern of wind-passage holes are formed by cooperation of the first series, the second series, and the third series of threads;
• wherein at least a 75% visual block is attained with the cooperation of the first series, the second series, and the third series of threads;
• and
• wherein the cooperation of the first series, the second series, and the third series of threads achieve an air flow permeability that is greater than 755 cfm/ft2.
