How To Install Faux Wood Venetian Blinds - DIY
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, I'll show you how easy it is to install venetian blinds by yourself! The quotes I got for installation were quite steep so I decided to take matters into my own hands and do it myself! Turned out to be easier than I thought and I've added yet another skill to my repertoire of skills - saving myself some change in the process too.
If you're like me and you're interested in installing your blinds on a budget, this video is for you! It's nothing to be scared of.
If you have further questions please drop them in the comment section and i'll be sure to respond them.
Blinds are from Blinds2Go
Thank you for watching!

Great effort here, you’ve really made use of the extra time the ‘rona empowered us with to hone in on your DIY skills ☺️. I was worried how you casually ‘tossed’ that plastic utility knife aside with an extended blade after cutting the box straps and seeing you wearing 🧦 it’s steel blade is ubër sharp 😱. One more safety tip...cut away from your body when using those knives (if you must) 🤓

Yes, you measure your window size and they send the blinds in your measurements
I’ve just bought these and I’ve opened the small one (small window) and it has no wall plugs or half the stuff yours has?! Any advice? Thanks :)

I also received metal saddle shaped brackets with screws, about 1 inch in length. There is so indication in the instructions as to what they are for and I can’t work it out. Anyone know what they are for?

How do you make the blinds stay a certain height

One of the cords is meant for that, it'll depend on which side you chose that cord to be. Just pull it into position
How did u get the measurements accurate I keep making mistakes on mine when they come to fit and returned x3 so have given up. Is this company made to measure because I think my windows are big

@simonargent62 There is some kind of stop effect. Gently press the knurled rod in the cord lock mechanism .This will release the cord lock mechanism, and the blinds will come down. 😉 hope it helps. It was working with us, and now it's no problem to lower them.
