We love our west facing lanai, and the east facing front of the house. The houses behind us block the sun during the day, and we have some high-grade shades installed, (*NOT* the Coolaroo shades). We keep the shades about 12 inches down all the time, and seldom have to lower them any more than that in the afternoon. One thing that I would say, is to definitely get some shades.
