rinqreation Is there an option to get a screen (or something that'll block sun) on the outside?

bonniegmmsncom possibly. What type?

mcbride2304 The film, even if put on by a professional, doesn't guarantee protection for 10 years. There is a new 3m film called PR 70 that is supposed to be the latest in protection...not too expensive...and not room darkening.

ASVInteriors I had a similar problem in Florida and had burlap panels made with jute webbing for the edges. It gave me privacy, but I could still see out and reduced solar glare (in picture by window)
I have one site for solar film but it is UK based and I am not sure if their film is transparent

bonniegmmsncom thanks

rinqreation Exterior roller blinds or awnings. My neighbor has exterior blinds, from the outside they seem thick but he can see through them just fine. Awnings might not look so swell, but that depends on the overall look&placement..
