Outdoor roller blinds
My apartment is east west facing meaning that my bedroom gets the heat in the morning and my lounge in the afternoon. Roller blinds on the balcony would seem the answer. Are there recommendations for type of system? I've been offered blinds with tracks on each side or without tracks that hook to the floor or the wall at the very bottom. All are able to resist most of the sunlight uv and wind. Mechanicals are guaranteed for 1 or 2 years and blinds for 5 years. Some advice would be great.

OzRoll was the manufacturer.
The only issue - probably common - is that the RF receiver on each is built in to the Nicad rechargeable battery pack and these don't last forever. We had several lose charge and at $80 each I bypassed them all and wired a 12v battery in the garage to them, keeping that on charge: works well.
