Can you give me ideas for arranging a small porch?
I have a small porch on the back of my townhome ... basically a concrete slab 44" x 18'. The western sun shines in the afternoon on the left side and looking for ideas to shield the area from the sun and make use of the awkward space.

Hi Mariah. You could make a free standing curtain wall made with some Pvc pipes, anchored in a couple of planted flower pots, some pretty shower curtains, and a little bistro set.😊
Hi ! If you don't use the area to go out back , get some planters and place a trellis in each one and grow ivy or morning glories or moon flowers
Great idea ... thanks much ...
Mariah: Sun sails are a good, inexpensive solution!

Tks much ...
Maybe a shade sail will help you if you’ve got secure places to tether it to.
