I'd just read your comment about "awnings".... when we arrived in Scottsdale the next day and drove past a super fancy Restoration Hardware up on Scottsdale Road.... it's a grey stucco building with METAL AWNINGS and they just look bad ass!
So was thinking --- I sold SUNBRELLA for YEARS when I was the Brown Jordan rep.... and that stuff is great -- but in a couple two or three years with that sun.... yeah they'll look like faded glory. But powder coated metal awnings --- they're done with slim metal slats... they'd last forever.
Hard to tell in this pic but they are angled slats so they block the sun but yet allow you to see the lights and that it's a window etc -- really liked the look of this!
