Our front porch is an awesome place to chill...except in the late summer afternoon. The sun sets at just the right angle where in the afternoon until basically sunset it comes right in the side and destroys you. The size of the gap between the house and the corner column was just such so that the "off the shelf" sizes of the crank down Coolaroo cordless sun shades would not work. It was the opposite of cheap but we went ahead and took the measurements and had one custom built by Coolaroo via the HD website. It just arrived last week and I'm hoping we have time this weekend to get it installed. What's great about this one is that with the way our porch is built I can install it up under the awning and you never see the bracket or shade housing from the outside. It's held down at the bottom with these clever ball catches and is cranked up and down by a long pole that we can hide away. Should do the trick and the color we got is really really close to the color of our trim.



I'll try to get some before / after pics of the install
