  • Publication number: 20130062021
    Abstract: A sunscreen structure including a top supporting structure securable to the building at a location near a top of an area to be screened from the sun and at least one slat panel suspended from the top supporting structure. A lower standoff structure is securable to the building at a location below the top supporting structure and is releasably securable to the at least one slat panel. An operable support is coupled between the lower standoff structure and the slat panel. The slat panel is shiftable between a first position where the slat panel is secured to the lower standoff structure and a second position where a lower portion of the one slat panel is displaced outwardly away from the lower standoff structure and supported in the second position by the operable support.
