We had external shades put on our lanai to block out the morning sun. I wouldn't be without them now. A few notes
1) There are different levels of shading available (usually called privacy)
2) Frogs occasionally climb into the unrolled part of the shade and get squished when we roll up the shades. Need to use a yard stick to knock the remains off and then clean with soap and water.
3) While our shades are motorized and work well, in a recent visit from Shade Brothers about another project we learned that the motorized version adds about 6 weeks to the installation and about $350 extra per shade.
4) Installation of manually operated shades are being quoted at 10 to 15 weeks by Shade Brothers.
5)There is a coupon in an advertising flyer from Mypapernet.com which gives 20 % off Shade Brothers. Perhaps you can get the coupon via their website?? Or just mention it?? Expires 11/15 so may not work for you.
Good luck and enjoy your new home.
