I used rods and plastic shower curtains, that could be pulled open or closed depending on my needs.   They also protected us from the rains.

I bought latticework display panels from a store going out of business. Hung them in front of the windows of a west-facing porch. Just enough light coming through as well as the air.  Purchased ones fit perfectly, but they can be made fairly easily. Love how it looks as well!

I saw something like that last night while racking my brain on what to do and I so loved the look but it will not help with the sun. The way the house is built I get sun from the front and side. There was a large tree but it was cut down last summer and that's when the problem began. The tree limbs covered the entire house and more. Thanks Sharon!

I purchased mine from Home Depot and they are 8 oz. weight. There was only one color available when I bought them, a natural wheat color. I also needed a bedskirt for a very tall poster bed, and used the drop cloth again, panels sewn onto a fitted sheet on the box spring. Really looks great!
