The backing is cloth. I cut slices in it for extra ventilation.

Very nice, I like the look of rattan, and you can't beat the price.
Punched aluminum another good idea.
I just don't understand why manufactures don't install louvers as standard equipment. Cost cannot be that big a factor as I've seen louvers on every sailboat I've been aboard, even the cheap ones. Everyone knows the benefits of increased ventilation in an enclosed space.
Thanks for the ideas.
