When you say 76 long by 72....is that 76 inches from the ground up and 72 inches wide? Do you have a door or it's just a window? That's huge!
Have you tried to use two or three standard blinds and put them side by side across? If they don't touch the bottom part by the floor it's okay because you could avoid putting sleeping cots/mats under that area so the kids are out of the sun. You could also toss a few pillows on the floor over there to completely block the light. Are you able to put up the sliding heavy-duty curtains? My grandma has them in her kitchen, so I know this style has been around a long time! I can't think exactly what it is called.

It is awesome, though, when it blocks out the heat from the sun without blocking the view.
Does this peel off easily or do you not really see the film on the window from the inside? Is it expensive? Does this block out light too?
