What didn’t you like about the suggestions last time? That would be helpful to provide alternatives.

Cafe blind if you are happy to roll it up before bbq use, bifold window, gas strut tilt window. Commercial grade operable shutters

I don’t know where you have received your information from. You can get adjustable louvres that are good quality. Here are two companies that offer adjustable shutters. They are made from aluminium. I have installed movable aluminium shutters in my patio area in a large area. They are NOT easily breakable. I would suggest you look at reputable companies. Not cheap imports from online stores.

Thanks dreamer and big reader - apologies the old post deleted from my posts so I couldn’t find it!

@dreamer - so glad to hear you have them and they are working well for you! Will look into the luxaflex you’ve recommended. Thanks!

Another company……aluminium external shutters

I like the idea of the bifold shutters. Used extensively in cairns.
