It is actually a little easier to rollup than the Coolaroo is. I found some great deals for both products on Amazon.

We were just this morning looking up roll-up shades of that fabric for our veranda.<br />I think for the roof, that we're going with the same type of shade cloth we've used for the awning on the pool for years. It's always held up well - in fact, we're having the contractor use the old awning fabric for the side wall panels, as much as possible. Even though the stuff is eight-plus years old, there's just no sign of deterioration. We'll use the new stuff on the roof, just in case.<br />I think we might be going with Keystone for the roll-up shades.

It doesn't block the rain out, but it sure does keep the sun from heating up the west side of the cabana. I got the fabric in a bulk roll that is 12 feet wide and 60 feet long. We made panels of wood framing that were 8x8ft and braced in the middle and just stapled the fabric on. It is VERY tough. Over the last 3 years 2 panels have blown off. One flew over the top of the cabana and landed in the front yard. The fabric was unscathed. It comes in lots of colors, we chose a light sand color. You can find it on Amazon. Keystone makes a similar product that is also very good, but just hair less sturdy.Wilmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717012784233946753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-38576989440340855952016-09-21T08:00:03.713-06:002016-09-21T08:00:03.713-06:00Hi Julian,

Our friends, David and Elizabeth, when they did their pool and enclosure (same contractor and our inspiration for the enclosure portion of this project), they put on a zinc roof. We didn't want that right now. We wanted something similar to our awning that we had up, so it would still let sunlight and rain through. But, we wanted the option, if global warming gets much worse, to be able to switch from an awning-type roof to a zinc roof.<br />We're still not exactly sure of the shape of the roof, but we have high hopes that inspiration will strike any moment.

They were afraid it was going to develop a major crack, so better to stop and deal with that.<br />Well, of course we had to pick the hottest time of year to do this. Cold showers feel good, but nothing compared to being in the pool for a few hours and becoming slightly hypothermic as a result. Possible even on the hottest days.<br />We should have the pool back in a month or so. We're keeping our fingers crossed.
