installing awnings?
installing awnings?
hi all. i live in western Colorado, in the desert part rather than the mountain part, and it's HOT. and sunny. my house has a long west-facing wall full of large windows, and we've been keeping the blinds shut all day but it's not helping. i'm thinking of installing awnings.
my questions are, a) have you done this or something similar, and if so what did you do, b) are there awnings available that are NOT just plastic? and c) any other hints, tips, or ideas would be welcome.

Plant Trees and shrubs along that section if possible?
Or move. This will only get worse the longer we deny it by doing nothing substantive. That's what I did.
i'd love to move, but i want to improve where i am while i'm here. we have some plans for trees and sunflowers or amaranth on that side, but i think it's a "both/and" situation rather than an "either/or" for me.
