We have shades just inside the screen on our lanai, so when the sun is a problem, we lower the shades. The shades cost $3K and they are well worth it.

We don't have shades over the screen in the lanai. We have vertical blinds on the windows and the sliding door that line the back of the house which faces north west. The sun never streams into the house from the lanai because the lanai roof blocks the sun. We tilt the vertical blinds when the sun streams into the back of the house which is not protected by the lanai roof.
