Hi Sjdesing, You could use them in place of ship lab. I recently read a post where mini blinds were used this way. Start with clean blinds and then cut the string off of the blinds. Then trim each individual slat by cutting them back right past the string hole. Then attach the slats to the wall using very small nails. Paint them or install them as is. It looks just like ship lab. No one needs to know what they really are. Best of luck to you.

I do not want to put vines on it, as I live in NYS and it will only look good for a couple of months. I can't afford to put in a new fence. I am super handy though.
