Our bedrooms face south and we have a huge blind to keep the worst of the sun from them. That being said, the patio is in front of the bedrooms and although the blind keeps the sun off the windows, it only protects the patio for about 3' or so.
We can sit under the shade of our fruit trees but baby wasps are being a nuisance so decided to use the front of the blind and the washing line to creat extra shade:
DB is going to check our old sheets in the attic then I can exchange this arrangement for those. Another sheet will attach to the fruit cage and blind providing even more shade. It will cut down the amount of washing line, but for now, I’d rather be cool!
Happy days!
What a good idea! I'm impressed. xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Deleteas long as it does the trick who cares what it looks like!!
ReplyDeleteHelped a bit.
DeleteIt’s fit for purpose and in my book that beats looks anytime. I made a flyscreen for the moho sliding door and it’s a bitvof net cutain and some very strong magnets.
ReplyDeleteWe haven’t been able to have our flyscreenup due to Ruby. I think that is why the house is hot.

ReplyDeleteWe have some natural shade but not much.
