My enclosed lanai faces west....and I love it because of the gorgeous sunsets in TV. However, there are times when the sun can be blinding so I did have solar shades installed through Village Interiors. I am very happy with the shades and Village Interiors did a great job with the installation. I did opt for remote control which I love.......and if you are thinking along those lines, do NOT get battery operated remote control (like I did in Swimdawg North). The batteries are are difficult to replace and even lithium batteries don't last long for some reason). I opted to get electrical-wired remotes in Swimdawg South and I am so much happier.

Village Interiors advertises on this site. Their phone number is 352-330-4000 and they are on CR 106 - next to Bargains and Treasures.
