Welding curtain

[TheBartman]

I would like to make a welding cubicle to contain the spatter from my flux-cored arc welder. All the articles I've read indicate that welding screens or curtains are typically made of thick transparent PVC that protects others from harmful UV radiation. I will be welding in a well-ventilated garage where there will be nobody observing me while I weld, therefore nobody else to protect. I was thinking of using a metal mesh stretched over a metal frame for the sides of the welding cubicle. Any comments?

Mesh by its nature has holes in it which will allow spatter to escape and the ultraviolet light out, you will need a plastic or canvass shield to block the light emissions.
