Sharonhull on Mar 04, 2016I used 2 small inexpensive tension rods from the drapery section at Target to suspend a sheer white "curtain" that I made to fit up inside the skylight opening. I take it down in winter when the extra heat and light is welcome.Helpful Reply

Cindy Thomas on Mar 05, 2016I'm not sure what kind of sky light you have, but you could check out greenhouse supplies. They have everything from metallic film, shade cloth or white paint that filters in summer, peels off in winter.Helpful Reply

Paula on Mar 05, 2016Window film works great or you can get Gallery Glass Window color. Super easy to apply, just apply with a paint brush. I purchased mine at Michaels.Helpful Reply

Bobbie Littlefield on Mar 05, 2016You can do a remote controlled (or manual) hanging roman shade....Use a small motor and hide it with decorative trim. The shade can be changed out seasonallyHelpful Reply

Leslie on Mar 05, 2016Jayburn, did you go back to where you purchased your shade to see if they would make an exchange ? Tell them what happened I bet they will accommodate you. If they will not take an exchange maybe they could help with something you can attach to the existing shade temporarily? They might have a solution. Good luck.Helpful Reply

LouiseM on Mar 06, 2016A big-box hardware store will sell rolls of sun-blocking window film; the one we got was manufactured by Gila. It sticks to the inside of your window and blocks heat/fading sunlight.Helpful Reply
