I built old-school plywood storm "shutters" which are still in use today by the current owners but not fun to put up.
Decades ago in FL our house had an “L” shape at the back with a lot of glass facing the pool.

Correlated sheet metal with top and bottom pounded flat would slide into place along the tracks and seal up the house.
