Re: Privacy and shade on west facing screen porch.
You should call it a lanai. I love telling people how I am enjoying my lanai. It just sounds so tropical.
Yours is a beautiful one too. The last week I was in TV my youngest son was visiting with a couple of his friends so since they are all under 30 we were hanging out at the Odell Rec Pool and I loved looking at your house and thinking how I would have a friend living there real soon.
I do agree you will need some kind of shade and privacy plantings. I think the best way of deciding what you want and like is to drive around TV and have a look at what others have done. There are quite a few houses that back onto Odell that have done some really nice screen plantings between them and the street. Some of the more mature areas of TV might also be a good place to see what is possible. Until you get there you could also have a look at some of the preowned house listings. The Virtual tours often have good views of the back yards.
Good luck
