Re: Privacy and shade on west facing screen porch.
We still live in West Palm (unfortunately) and our Lanai faces west. Can get very hot and tghe sun goes all the way througth the house two time a year. We have a retractable awning and enjoy it very much. It adds some color and sun control, however it is good only until the sun start to go down. The sun comes under it. We also have a roll down screen that is great for privacy and sun control. My suggestion is the screen. They come in colors and different densitys. Be sure the roller is metal not cardboard. Ours is 10 years old and has been pressure cleaned and still looks great. Larry
