`side of the #ame-camoutlage siructure and at least two spaced apart frame members
`
`along a roof of the #amecamoutlage structure; and
`
`one or more panels of mesh material of interwoven fabric configured to be
`
`attached between the at least two spaced apart frame membersthat are along the side
`
`of the frarnecamouflage siructure, said one or more panels comprising:
`
`a first side with a camouflage pattern; and
`
`a second side with a dark color coating, said second side opposite to the
`
`first side; and
`
`one or more panels of non-mesh material provided along the roof of the

`
`area between the at least two spaced apart frame members;
`
`wherein the one or more panels of the mesh material define an outer surface of
`
`the camouflage structure; and

`
`of the reflected portion to an intensity of the transmitted portion is above a threshold
`
`value such that an exterior of the camouflage structure is visible through the camouflage
`
`material from the interior of the camouflage structure and the interior of the camouflage
`
`structure is not visible through the mesh material from the exterior of the camouflage
`
`structure;
`
`and wherein the threshold value is 2.
