I ordered the sunshades for the patio yesterday. I re-measured before putting in the order, just in case. We had to order custom sizes as one screen is 65.25" wide and the other is 70" wide (which are both way off from the measurements B told me they were, btw, from his diagram. I decided to do it myself and use a tape measure.)
I went for a "linen" color, which I hope will match the patio supports, with 1% penetration. I made them only 40" long because the back fence blocks light when the sun gets really low.
Now I think I will need to order a custom shadesail to hang under the patio roof while the weather is hot. Both of these will help to keep the living room cooler.
The last year has been one home improvement project after another and I like that. We're making a lot of progress and we've kept up that momentum all year. I really like seeing the house get better and better, and it is very satisfying to do it ourselves.
My next project is to add pinch pleats to the living room sheers, and hem them.
