Great views!

Consider awnings as a solution. Awnings will help filter and/or redirect some of the sun's rays before reaching your home's afflicted glazing. PLUS there are some pretty attractive options out there these days:

Considering the sun exposure, recommendation for longevity and maintenance would be not to use wood- as seen in a couple of the photos- but a metal awning option. In addition to being durable, metal will reflect some of the heat.

Best of luck with your project!

Solar shades

Hi mmyb

In our Texas home, we installed solar screens on the outside of the windows. They come in different colors to coordinate with your exterior. There are several companies that make them.

They really cut down on heat (100F + in summer) so that we could use our breakfast area. And, most important, they didn’t block any view of our trees. Just made it pleasant and comfortable to sit and look out.

Bronze solar screens so you can still see out.
