We had Coolaroo sun shades installed in our lanai. Our lanai is situated so the sun rises on one side, travels across and sets on the other side. Nice in the AM but increasingly warmer as the day progresses so by 6PM not the best place to be to enjoy a toddy or meal.
Bought them at Lowes, picked out colors etc, then had their installers come and measure each opening. Best investment we have made. We drop those down, can still see out, but blocks the sun, privacy if that is an issue, since you cannot see inside, except when a light is turned in the evening. Makes all the difference in being able to enjoy your outside activities.
Go for it!
