Default We love our sunscreens!!!

We had four sunscreens installed on our lanai, which has a southern exposure. They were done by Lonnie with Cool Breeze Screens. We highly recommend him/them. We use them everyday and has transformed our use of the lanai to more of a useful extension of the living area.

The screens keep out heat, some light, bugs, dirt, and a lot of rain (but not all rain). When down, from the outside they look like a wall; from the inside you can see out. They protect our outdoor rugs and furniture and give us privacy and an added level of security, as we keep these down at night.

The only con is frogs. Three of the four screens are inside the lanai cage. One is on the exterior, over the cage screen. The screen on the exterior has somehow become an attractant to frogs, (appx. fist sized), which must be getting into the housing cover. Periodically, when we lower this screen, there are one or more very flat frogs glued to the screen. And then we scrape them off. Yes, we are frog killers and will take any suggestions for the removal of sticky frog residue from woven screens.

Aside from the one con, we do love our screens and couldn't imagine not having them on our lanai!
