There are special window treatments that block sun but not the view. Some can even be motorized, to work on a remote control for high or inaccessible windows.
Hi Khy,
We have some motorized roller blinds for a normal sized patio french door and two windows but Im not certain the motor could handle the weight of extremely tall long window shades. You might need to visit the window covering dept at your local big bix hardware store to see available options for your specific window sizes.
Have you ever thought of planting trees or bushes along your deck. Arbor Vitae's are great especially to provide shade and privacy. They grow very tall and slim. We have them planted around the perimeter of our back yard. And I love them.
