slat

Through the slatted wall, volunteers provide them with clothes, medical supplies and snacks — even free WiFi and an electrical strip to charge their phones.

The only relief came from irregularly spaced wooden slats drilled into the rock that provided desperately needed footholds.

Rather than solid walls, it had angled wooden slats designed to let in plenty of light.

The spaces between the metal slats create ripples, and fish tend to swim away.

The plot moves on — to sultry interplay on the hood of a car, in a dorm room, in the back seat of a car, on the wooden slats of a sauna.
