I had a screen enclosed patio built last year. My problem is that the sun comes in from the south and is very hot. I try to watch tv there in the summer, but the glare from the sun makes me unable to see the tv. What can I buy to put up that would let the air come in but block the sun rays. What ever I use has to be able to take down for the winter as snow comes thru the screens in the winter.
Any suggestions?

One possiblity would be to have a local glass shop fabricate screens using SunScreen that you could either put in and take out depending on the season, or just put them in and forget them. Very popular item here in No. CA, and we know about sun!

Lefty,
Thanks for the advice I will look into doing that and finding out the price to have this done, as I am a senior citizen living on a fixed income.
Thanks again
