Shade options for skylight windows?

Shade options for skylight windows?

We recently moved into our house and because we live in the north, didn’t realize how much heat would radiate through this window until it got warm recently. I’m in the middle of putting heat blocking film on the large windows, but have realized we simply need to block the sun on the upper slanted windows.

I’ve looked at a variety of brands, but none sell shades the size we need (each upper window is 32x84”). The highest point is about 17’ up, and bottom of the top windows is at 11’ from the floor.

Am I missing something? Surely there is a solution for this…

Where do I put the curtain rods?

My sunroom is almost done, and I'm in love with it... and I just realized that the windows are likely too long for a curtain rod. I want to put in blackout velvet curtains that I can close when we want to watch movies, but I expect the curtains to be open most of the time. So - what do I do?

I've seen cafe-style curtain rods that I could put on the inside of the window. I have seen ceiling-mounted curtain rods. What do you think I should do?
