We used Cool-la-Roo shades from Lowes. They come in and measure, order and install. All we had to do ourselves was to pick out the color. They block the sun but you can still see through them. Great for a lanai that faces the West in the early evening. They can be lowered during a storm but they must be secured on the bottom rail to hold them in place. Then after rains are over with, keep them down to dry thoroughly before rolling them up.
