DIY - Roll Up Blinds, how-to

How to make easy bamboo roll up blinds.
For our outdoor kitchen in Hong kong I wanted to make blinds.
To protect us a bit from the sun and rain.
In this video I show you how to make those blinds. It’s an easy DIY project.
Also pretty cheap. One blind cost me less than 10 usd to make.
I decided to go for bamboo because I like the material and those mats are easy to roll. But of course you can also chose a different material if you like to.
It’s very satisfying when you can open and close your own hand made blinds 😉
Thank you for watching 😁

[@UnitBeerMonsta]

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

[@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!!! ❤

[@Practice_Kindness-1st]

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

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.

[@jsmith7240]

I've just spend an hour trying to restring a bamboo blind, thinking the two pull ups must be interconnected. Saw your diagram at the beginning and everything clicked! Blind sorted - very clear instructions - thanks

[@user-dr6rt1ji3l]

Stupendous. Your excellent diagram at the beginning was all I needed. Thanks so very much!

[@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

[@MilesPony]

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

[@debiwilson8472]

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

[@francescoprotasi2909]

This is great. The diagrams you drew were very helpful

[@BobBee]

Glad is was helpful, thank you 🙏

[@jobyelsavarghese2272]

Hi 👋 no no no POV no no no red 😋😋

[@surgerydas]

Nice demonstration

[@dollybird6290]

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

[@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.

Very well said👍 thank you, brother.

[@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

[@DanielinLaTuna]

I agree; best explanation! Thanks for sharing. I like the diagrams, they are so clear. Helped me restring my own blinds. 🙏

[@RinpochesRose]

At last ! A sensible, creative, inexpensive and attractive DIY blind tutorial. Thanks 🙂⭐️👍🏻

[@glindamay6203]

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

[@BobBee]

Thank you 🙏

[@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 🙌

[@TXO74]

Thank you for demonstrating so clearly how to create a roll up bamboo blind!!! This is great!!! This helped me so very much!

[@ifarhan826]

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

[@trishacrystal1352]

You just solved the my problem and saved me a whole bunch of money. Thank you!

[@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

[@laylah4utube]

Ah so thankful. I had a messed up store and with your sketch got them functioning again!

[@avs5697]

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

[@xboadicea]

Thank you so much for this. Got DIY insulation blinds up using this super clear tutorial. It's the best compared to other guides I found. :-)

[@essianmavex7549]

You saved me with this diagram spent 30 minutes looking at the mechanism on my own trying to figure out how the ropes intertwine 😂

[@BobBee]

Thank you 😃

[@SusanHCooper]

Awesmome idea! Looks simple enough, exactly what I was looking for! Thank 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.

[@kathy4451]

I LOVE this! I'm doing a beach theme for my bathroom and didn't know what to do for the window. This is perfect! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@BobBee]

That’s nice! I think it perfectly suits your beach theme! Good luck. Thank you😃

[@mrityunjoychoudhury3686]

After searching a lot this video came at last. Thank you very much for simplifying this.

[@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 😃

[@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.

[@joyceiensen1954]

[@BobBee]

+Sachin Joshi Thank you so much! 😊

[@fairpanthr]

Thank you for this. I need to be able to raise and lower a tarp for shade. I was looking at a pulley system but couldn't find anything that easy and cheap. Your video just fits the bill. Very good diagram and visual instructions. Have a wonderful summer.

[@sarahstephens4650]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Great explanation. Thank you 😊

[@madinaiman2624]

Thankyou for this. They look great. I've been looking for a decent tutorial on how to make these. You explain very well and have inspired me, can't wait to get started.

[@BobBee]

[@debrafrakes6479]

[@tfuller858]

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!

[@ajk7151]

Great DIY instruction. Help me a lot to make my own roll up blinds. 👌👍

[@flora8378]

Thanks, simple & clear instructions, just what I was after!

[@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!

[@gayathrya2482]

omg! u r just awesome. never seen a video which clearly explains how its done. thanks a ton!! surely gonna do.

[@BobBee]

Thank you 🙏 Glad it helped you!

[@krisrhoades2449]

Thank you so much for your video. I have cordless outside blinds that no longer function. I will be converting them to corded roll up blinds as per your excellent instructions 😀🥰🙏🏻

[@pegilouharmon7467]

Thank you for explaining in a very clear manor. Thank you.

[@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!

[@julianamokrejs6198]

Great explanation, and it looks really nice! I’ve been looking for a solution for weeks, thanks for sharing :)

[@estp8071]

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

[@expertsblr]

❤ thank you for explaining so well.

[@sidheart19]

Wow!! Awesome DIY and very nicely done! I love the diagram you drew to explain it, made it super easy to understand the design and working of the pull-up wires. Thanks!!

[@BobBee]

Thank you for your comment! 🙏 Happy to hear it helped you 😃

[@reinal7896]

This is why I don’t pay for expensive things like this. So much better to make it and learn some new things :) I’m not going to do it exactly like this - but this video gave me the tools to think of a new way ! Thx :D

[@BobBee]

Thank you! Hope it turns out well

[@dxdux]

Fantastic video, great instructions, finally understood the way this works. Thanks!

[@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?

[@eliskac2173]

that helps so much! I'm currently trying to fit bamboo blinds into my window frames and I'm having some hiccups with the foldable ones so I'm thinking to converting them to rollable ones. Also, that scheme is wonderful.
