      It’s like this. Anything you put up is going to need to be taken down in the wind because it’ll blow like a bastard. The only thing that will work are roller shutters. Even people who have those stripey shade covers are advised to roll them up in the wind. Anchoring a shade cloth to the gutter depends on how heavy the cloth is. It will work but not with the slightest of wind.

      My mum is a pensioner and she wanted them done on her windows but they are pricey. So she got somebody out to do the 3 lounge windows and explained to the guy that she’d like to eventually get all the windows done but can’t afford them done at the same time. He gave her a quote for each of the rest and when she saved for 2 windows she called him up and got them done. What you need is a guy like that. You’ll save a shitload of cash on your heating and cooling bill.

      Edit: She got roller shutters.
