DIY - Roll Up Blinds, how-to

[@UnitBeerMonsta]

Finally a easy full demonstration on how it's done!! Thankyou!! So many videos no explaining how to

[@nicknick1963]

Short,to the point,simple and well explained. I just watched a video on how to make the blind but no fixing instructions ,so thanks for this video. I'm now inspired as I have plenty of bamboo( living in rural Philippines) and loads of windows

[@mauravolante]

I made a blind following your instructions for the pulley system and it works. I used a piece of paisley cotton (an old drape), some sheeting for the lining, and sticks from a bamboo blind that was falling apart. I sewed channels for the sticks. I love it! Thanks for posting your video. I knew it was possible but I needed to see where the screws and cord would go.

[@Practice_Kindness-1st]

By far, THE best way to explain how to make a roll up blind. Thank you!

[@BobBee]

Thank you 🙏

[@pinkgypsytees]

VERY MUCH SO!!

[@nissannewride]

I understood how to restring my bamboo blinds as soon as I saw your simple drawing in the first minute! Thank you so much, it’s no longer a mystery to me!!! ❤

[@shrividhyavisalam4783]

Perfectly explained . Thank you.

[@shyamkumarganeshan]

7 year old video.... helping me in 2025... Thanks man for the wonderful DIY video....

[@LizEdmonson]

I had to use two bamboo mats together with zip ties as the first step, but followed your instructions almost the same. I decided to drill holes in the stick as the second step. It is going to work and I saved money by using the supplies I already had in my house. I added a karate kid banner too to the curtains, because it was a curtain for my grandson's room when I babysit him. Thanks!

[@debiwilson8472]

finally a video that is to the point , thank you for this simple and easy to understand video , great job

[@MilesPony]

Genius. Have been racking my brains for low cost patio blinds. Perfect. Thank you :)

[@francescoprotasi2909]

This is great. The diagrams you drew were very helpful

[@BobBee]

Glad is was helpful, thank you 🙏

[@jobyelsavargheseJE226]

Hi 👋 no no no POV no no no red 😋😋

[@surgerydas]

Nice demonstration

[@FolieMusou]

Good drawings. Liked how he drew the rope as a broken line as it went behind the blind. Details are important 😆

[@sherinium8184]

Totally useful. I've been watching many videos on KZbin to get the right direction for making roll up blind window easily and friendly.. also cheap cost if possible. None of them satisfied me, they're unclear or even so complicated. Finally i got it here. I saved this video and then made it by my self successfully. It's looks nice. Thanks so much dude

[@BobBee]

Thanks for your comment! Really appreciate that! I’m glad it worked for you 🙌

[@KimberleyB]

You're an artist after my own heart. THat's just how I would have drawn the schematics. This was very helpful! I am considering making roll-up blinds using heavy 10-gauge clear vinyl shower curtains to make rain blinds for our screen porch. It gets some high winds and blowing rain.

[@Amy89244]

omg that's exactly what I'm planning to do and what brought me to this video XD

[@BrassLock]

Well its been quite a while now. . . How did it go? Did the winds rip your shower curtain blinds to shreds? Or did you rush out every adverse weather incident and roll them up out of harm's way?

[@coconutfraser3851]

If you receive this? Hi Kimberley, I'm Albie from Down Under NZ. Knew nothing about this but wanted to clarify, I have a patio, and it gets both wind and rain on two sides, occasionally. Like you, I went out and bought a see-through, plastic-type awning. Quiet heavy.... Q: DID YOUR SYSTEM WORK with just the eyes, for the pulley? THX

[@KimberleyB]

@@coconutfraser3851 Hello, Albie! We ended up using Coolaroo shade blinds, which break up the rain before it gets to the screens. We just have a mist come in during heavy rains now, so we didn't put more money or energy into other solutions. :) We used waterproof fabrics on the bed and cushions, so the little bit of mist that gets in doesn't hurt anything.

[@baxi3838_SG]

wow. simple but straight to the point. this is what im looking for. pure DIY.

[@Msmargret1]

Needing Less is obviously brilliant; 'needed less to say what I was gushing! Great! Subscribed. Our hearts and minds are with you, and all of Hong Kong today.

[@ellecobra8275]

I love your video and diagrams, I watched this, drove to our local hardware store and now have 2 bamboo blinds I made myself. Such a fun project and I'm so stoked with them. Thanks so much.

[@claudiamiller7730]

Priceless!...thanks so much for you excellent instructions! I have to tackle creating two 4 foot blinds out of bamboo outdoor fencing material (available at HD) because the now government mandated No Cords rule is in effect (I completely understand the need for this change). But we have no pets or little ones around and find the new cordless roll-up style blinds much too cumbersome to manipulate. Love that you used cable ties and eyelets...some of my standard fixings for DIY! I’ve even figured out how to hang standard mini-blinds without using those nasty brackets....just screw eyelets into the window trim or header (we have crappy trim so I didn’t care if it got damaged)...loop a cable tie around the horizontal top post of the blind...feed it tie thru the eyelet and secure it...easy-peasy and done!

[@BobBee]

Thanks for sharing your situation ! 👍 glad the video helped you😃

[@SandcastleDreams]

That's the same reason I'm here! We just bought a repo double wide and it's got 12 Windows in it some are 46" wide and I saw the prices on aluminum corded blinds and even spring loaded pull down blinds and my eyes bugged out! I'm like, WHERE in the world did all of the NORMAL blinds go??? I'll make my own before I spend a ton of money on something that too many people are complaining about! Unlike you, I don't understand the need for the change! Why can't parents adjust the length of the cord out of the way of the little ones so they can't reach them??? Too busy on their cell phones to pay attention?

[@blakejakke]

This is the easy tutorial to understand how to made roll up blind and of course with simple tools.. thanks for sharing this video, finally I could made my own bamboo roll up blind

[@surchandrathokchom8043]

I have same eight curtains from online but faced difficulty in installation meanwhile, luckily, i saw your installation processes, now i am mastered, thanks to you a lot.

[@mindybrown8571]

I've been shopping around for a bamboo/rattan shade or blind to use outside on our patio, but they're so expensive. I found reed fencing at a garden store that I can use in the same way you're using your bamboo mat. Your instructions are very well done! Thank you!

[@emiliaescobar7652]

Clever Idea!!!! Will try it out!

[@glindamay6203]

Thank you! Looking through tens of videos, you are the only one with a solution for this problem!

[@BobBee]

Thank you 🙏

[@peacefultahitti379]

The illustration added clarity to the project!!!! Brilliant!!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@estp8071]

YUSSS!!!! The sketches TOTALLY helped, now I have achieved abit more night privacy and day-light control ! Yeehoo!!! THANKS A HEAP BRO!

[@franslam7398]

Thank you very much for this. I've watched a lot of 'How To' roller blind videos where the blinds are made out of kits we have to purchase but I'd yet to find a 'How To' that was completely DIY using creativity until I came across your video. Many thanks.

[@BobBee]

Thanks 🙏 happy to hear it was helpful to you

[@avs5697]

I rarely give comment. But your useful video deserved my likes

[@ifarhan826]

Thank you so so so much. Glad I watched your video first. Your mechanism is much simpler than I had in mind.

[@chrisbloodworth72]

I recently stumbled into a large supply of outdoor material. Solid white. I'm going to make a giant 20 foot long one of these for a roll sun porch. I was looking for this mechanism. Thank you so much. I could almost figure it out, but not quite. Instead of beating my head against a rock I used or best info tool. Thank you for making it so easy to understand.

[@BobBee]

Thanks for your comment! Glad to hear it helped you. I hope your project turns out well. Cheers!

Thank you so much for this video because home Depot outside blinds are now cordless, and when it starts storming I don't have time to manually roll up blinds! Thank you!

[@sixpac6ft1]

Good man. I didn't make my own, but was given some bamboo blinds which weren't rolling up. Thanks to your video I managed to simply fix them.

[@BobBee]

Thanks! Happy to hear the video helped you to fix your blinds 😃

I took this idea and made some fabric ones for my shed thanks so much for this helpfull vidio 😁😁

[@meghnasengupta2000]

Pls could you tell me how you did that

[@jackbridgewater1334]

@@meghnasengupta2000 hi i got a role of fabric and cut it to the width of my window then i left an extra 20 cm on the length. I hemmed the edges and made a pouch at the big enough for a piece of garden cane to fit then sewed it together then i repeated this half way up the fabric and then a final time three quarters of the way up. At the top i stapled the fabric to a small peice of wood then attached it to my window frame. After that i did exactly the same as the vidio for the mechanism but were i put the extra two pockets i put a eyelet on each side of each pocket. Hope fully this was helpful 😁😁
