I have a typical florida cement block ranch house(one story) with a metal roofed screen porch attached to the rear of the house (all of about 7' high, with slope).
The rear of the house faces west.
Presently, I can only use the porch a few months of the year (nov - feb). as soon as the warm weather returns. I'm faced with an OVEN back there! oftentimes, it's cooler outside than in the screen porch.
help?? what can I do to reduce the heat factor in my porch? I already have several palms planted as shade around the porch, and the ceiling is too low for a ceiling fan. any suggestions?

A light colored or otherwise reflective roof would help. Additionally, if the roof could be built up higher and a vented airspace added that would be quite good.

the roof is already painted white and porch attached to eave of house, so not sure lifting it would be cost effective. as for vented airspace, it's all screening - how do I vent more than that?
