What great ideas. Doesn't sound like overkill if it is needed to stop
has much microwaves has possible. How do the trees work? Do they help
scatter the radition? I may try something with aluminum foil then,
you have given me some ideas, though one concern for me is that there
are towers in other directions has well, so I would love it if some
type of clothing would help. Then I could block the closer towers
(that really worry me) and also have protection from the other
directions has well has whatever is flowing around the shields I come
up with. Thanks for your detailed description. It is encourging and I
can get creative with what inexpensive things I can come up with. I
did order a 5'x6' silver mesh fabric from lessemf.com. I really want
to make sure I can get some good shielding while I sleep. I will let
everyone here know how it works! I checked at the hardware store and
can buy copper insulated wire and a brass stake so I can ground the
fabric. Just about $11 and it seems it might make the shield more
efficent.

But when using aluminum and other metals you have to take into
consideration frequencies bouncing back off of it from electrical
sources inside your room.

an aluminum screen with the aluminum over 2 or 3 wood panels or old
doors hinged together.  (You could overlay the foil over a string
design for an embossed effect and stain the creases with black
paint!  Would be cool!)  Used on both sides over wood panels/doors,
you would then have 2 layers of foil and could move it.  OR better
yet, you could have aluminum on one side and an rf absorbing material
on the opposite, then you wouldn't have a problem with bounce-back
of emfs.  I designed a similar room divider (without the embossing
and rf fabric) made of 4 doors with permanent triangular shelves
(shaped like a W) for plants, that I put on rollers and can move from
room to room when you don't want the divider in place.  The
triangular non-moveable shelves stabilize the system so it can be
easily rolled.  I used foil, in this instance, in the doors' recessed
panels for

at a salvage yard for $10 or so (or sometimes for free from
neighbors!)  The absorbing fabric would be expensive, but you could
start out with aluminum on one or both sides and then go to the
fabric if you aren't satisfied with how the aluminum is working re
bounce-back.

fix.  For instance, in my house I am fixing up, I am planning to
shield from 2 cell towers in front by planting 7 strategically
placed white pine/cryptomeria trees, one strategically placed
arborvitae, using window film inside the windows, using a metal
window screen outside, and I am making drapery panels which I plan
to back with an rf absorber fabric which I can draw closed as
needed.   In addition, I am placing a couple indoor plants in front
of one window in the livingroom which will shield the particular
chair I will usually be sitting on.  For my bedroom, if these fixes
don't get it, I plan to make an enclosed garden off the bedroom (an L-
shaped enclosure in an existing L-shaped alcove on the end of the
house) using Hardee plank, which is a high absorption siding
material.  This is an idea I'd like
