Hadn't thought of those and they're certainly similar enough
functionally yet more economical than awnings. Do they stay put at the
desired opening width? From photos it seems they're either shut or
fully open -- no in-between.

Hoppers look like a good option so it'll probably come down to how
much I want to spend on the greater aesthetic appeal -- in my eyes,
anyway -- of awnings.
