Suggestions for sun shades for bi fold doors - advice pls

[nixter42]

Hi EDF,

I'm looking for some advice. We've got bi-folds doors, but surprisingly the sun is a bit much in the day in this country!

What have others done? Retractable awning outside? Seems expensive. Is it worth it?

Blinds inside?

Let me know what you think!and any recommendations. Thanks Nikki

We looked at awnings but it was very expensive and so as an interim measure we bought some ?Blinds in a Box? from Amazon as our garden is west facing and the sun is particularly bad at kid?s teatime in the summer. The blinds have been great! I think it was about ?20 for 4 blinds and they clip up at the top when not in use. We?ve had them for nearly 3 years now...

We have Perfect Fit type blinds from the London Blind Company in a light white material on each bi-fold which open "bottom up" so you can set them halfway up the doors to block out the sun. Expensive but brilliant - we've had ours for over 10 years.
