We like our Cooleroos and you can feel the heat diminish as you lower them. However so does the breeze. I think it keeps the heat off the sliders and makes the interior air conditioning work a little less hard.

It cannot make the lanai like an air conditioned room but with the fans and the sun shelter it sure helps. It provides privacy and you can see out. We don't lower them to the floor so there is still air flow, not as much but some.

We had the west facing done and they were having a sale at Lowes and the whole job including measuring and installing cost just over a thousand dollars and we have a largish area.
