    I’d be looking more at something like this for the top

    And a trampoline anchor kit for the bottom. Occy straps have to much give in them and the cheap ones are not weather proof.

        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.
