Bought outdoor no rust rods from defunct BBB. Bought 4 sets because of the width. Outdoor curtains from Amazon made from materials that had backing to keep curtain from rain, and mold.

Worked great for keeping sun out and rain as long as no wind. However even with expensive outdoor curtains, did nothing to keep out cold. Next tried insulating curtain in one area. Didn’t help with the cold, and they molded in the end.

So outdoor curtains will help but once temp dipped below 45 you needed a jacket with the heater
