The high heat and Sun in Southern California has been damaging my finished door and keeping my kitchen hot. How do I inexpensively make a long, large canopy for this driveway area in front of my carport?
I made a very small one for over my shed using outdoor fabric and plant hangers. Here's the tutorial: https://www.unexpectedelegance.com/diy-shed-awning-quick-easy/
You could do something similar with larger corbels, if you wanted it bigger.

Hi Devorah, Here's a great sun shade product: https://www.sportsmansguide.com/productlist?k=sun+shade
I used this on a pergola I built 5 years ago, and its still just as nice now as the day I installed it. It gets the hot Florida sun everyday, all day too!
Hope this helps
Make a simple square the size of your door opening and attach above the door with lag screws. Then add a piece of plastic to protect the wood and to shade the door.
