We installed some sunscreens that we made up yesterday. Our first 100 degree day for the year is supposed to happen today. It should help out a lot on interior temps. I did lay them up against the interior glass for a couple of weeks and it did help, but mounting them on the outside should be better. I have noticed an interior temp drop this morning of about 15 degrees.
We need to install two more over the bedroom windows today if I can figure out what problem Becky's sewing machine has. It might need a good tune up or cleaning up.
We bought the sunscreen material at Lowes, along with the stainless steel snaps. The binding is Sunbrella black, which we bought off eBay at $1.00 a yard. Becky said the binding sewed much easier than she thought it would. She used a zig zag pattern on the clear nylon thread, you can hardly see it and it will be much stronger.
We have a total of around $175 for one screen over the driver window, two long screens over the lounge and two screens over the bedroom.
It might not be for the bus purist, but we full-time and we need all the help we can get!
They aren't purdy, we installed them for function!
