Any recommendations for roll up and down type of  sunscreens for sitting area.

I have some I bought from Costco.  The new ones are much better.  Don't think they are always available.  Can't recall the manufacturer.

Locally, Designs by Trish. She lives in Opelika.  She is the one that did my shades downstairs.  If you are a member of Costco, they also subcontact with a company (I believe it is in B'ham) that will come out and measure, order and install.  They give Costco members a discount, and sometimes Costco is running promotions to save a bit more.  They did my plantation shutters and I was extremely pleased, and they also do shades of all kinds.

Bought 2 from Lowes  that I installed 6 months ago. 6 ft roll up was I believe $89.ea. 95% uv protection. Easy to install. Works with a removable rod no strings. Stay away for the cheap one with string to roll up. These are first class.

I have them outdoors.

Bought some from Lowes, very good product. Have seen them a Costco and SAMs at different times. The ones I had did not block your view but kept the sun out extremely well. We had three 8 foot ones on our porch

Best material is Sunbrella sheer.  85% blockage.  See through.  Only a woven acrylic will last in sunlight and hold its color.
