Anyone who actually installed exterior retractable solar shade in their home?
Too many manufacturer, and I have no clue who to choose.

I was actually looking for one that covers sliding doors, but I'm also thinking about retractable shade for trellis.No Quarter said:If you haven't built your home yet, you should wait to see how much sun is actually going to come into that area once you move in. I almost bit the bullet and bought one of these... but the design center forgot to add it.
Long story, but we didn't end up getting it or getting charged for it. We move in and realize that the part of the trellis that the solar shade was to cover was on the north side of the house. It would have cast a pretty decent shadow in our living room to give the effect of being in a cave.
We are very glad we didn't do it now.
Do you have California Room?gaogi said:I'm looking at something like this:

Looking to get the motorized option, but need to figure out how I want to run the wiring first...
