Hello Linda! If you have a place to hang a round rod and curtain clips that slide you can use flat sheets to block the sun. The sliding clips will allow any material you use to open and close easily.
Painters drop cloths! Available in many sizes and incredibly inexpensive compared to pre made roller shades. Hang them with curtain clips. Easy to remove and wash when necessary.
