dsprik: At this time I DONOT have any awnings except the "standard" patio awning. I had the bubble material on all the windows. It comes by the foot in 24" and 36" widths. I got it at the local hardware store, but it's available at Home Depot and Lowes. Having awnings on all the windows would definitely be an advantage as you can shade the metal frames of the windows and significantly cut down on heat transfer.
Because I'm living in Q'site 24/7/365, I'm considering having a metal cover built (about 60 feet in length and 14 feet high) to cover the whole Monty. That would provide "shade" for the roof, sides and windows. With the concrete slab (24ft wide X 60ft long) and the cover, it would run around $14,000.00-$16,000.00.
