Shield Walls and general sillyness

A question:
Given a ring world, how wide would it have to be so that an observer in the, say, middle 5000 miles of it would not see the shield walls?
IIRC from Niven’s work, the walls are like 1000 miles tall, and the floor is flat, so curvature would not play. I don’t think there is an easy mathy way to solve this...
