We live in Michigan and our 3 season room is the favorite hangout during summer months. Sun shades are not very sophisticated here, given the climate. What do you all think?
We have a west facing lanai and while it is hot in the summer, the rest of the year it is perfect. We use outdoor curtains to keep the sun out in the summer months. If you are not here in the summer I think it’s a non-issue. Don’t forget we get much cooler weather in the winter months when the sun makes that lanai usable when in the shade it might not be.
