Installing your blinds

Fix to structure

There are two ways to fix the Bistro Blind to a structure, view full instructions here. Blind should always be fixed to a solid structure. ie. cross beams, concrete or brick. To attach blind you will need to measure and drill holes in cross beam in line with holes in head rail of blind.

Mark measurements

Mark your beam in accordance to your measurement with holes in headrail and drill 9mm holes into structure.

Secure head rail

Simply line-up head rail holes with holes in cross beam and fix with coach bolts provided. *Note: An easy way to do this is to nail the blind in desired position through outer holes, drill and screw coach bolts into inner holes. Remove nails and repeat with outer holes.

Settle and trim

Once blind has settled (allow approx. 10 days), the bottom flap may be now trimmed to reduce scrapping (if necessary). Simply rule proportion to be trimmed and using a sharp craft knife, cut skirting straight to suit your application. Please note if heavy rainfall occurs, unroll your outside mounted blinds to prevent damage.
