I can tack flannel over it and when I'm finished, take it down, wind it up and stick it in the closet.
The only thing is, I have no idea of how strong the wood valance is, but my 12 pound cat has traveled over the one in the front room for years and it's not even bent yet.
Tried pinning stuff to the drapes and the pin holes still show up against the bright sun light.
