I have just installed this shade (SKU: BLN-DEOS) and it is great but I have one problem. There is a stop on the chain that is preventing the shade from going all the way up. The stop consists of oversized beads. How can I move or remove this?

Our lanai has textured cement walls, not flat. Will the provided brackets work?
Asked by Susan ·
Hello Myra, Thank you for your inquiry. I want to ensure your installation process goes smoothly. Our screws are not designed for cement walls. You'll need to purchase screws separately that are suitable for your installation on cement. Additionally, our brackets require a flat and smooth space of 2 1/4" for proper installation. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. We're here to help!

How do these hold up on the windy ocean shore with heavy winds?
Asked by Cassy ·
Hello Cassy, these do come with the option to have bungee hold downs to keep from swaying in gentle winds. During heavy winds we recommend that the shades be raised and not stay down.

We live in North Carolina and have two very strong pollen seasons here. Will these shades prevent "some" pollen from entering our screen porch? Also, my opening is a bit wider than the maximum width you have, but assuming the shades are ceiling mounted, if I do an inside mount, can I request to have the shades made to the max width without a deduction for the opening?
Asked by Kylie H ·
Hello Kylie, thank you for reaching out. These shades will act as a screen and prevent some pollen, but definitely not all. As the pollen may be able to get through the screen, and in and around the shades. If you order as outside mount, those do not get a deduction off of the bracket-to-bracket overall width, however, fabric will be received 7/8 - 1 3/8" less than ordered width. Unfortunately, due to how these shades are made, there is not a way for us to build these shades without a fabric deduction.

How do the bungee tie downs install? Are they installed on the floor? My height is 113" but since the tallest I can get is 108" my shades wont come close to meeting the floor. Will I be able to use the bungee tie downs?
Asked by Kylie H ·
Hello Kylie, if the shade will not be long enough to mount the bungees to the floor, you would be able to maybe mount them on the outer posts on the left and right hand sides of the shade if that is an option? You can also give us a call at 888-256-8672 and we can also discuss your set up in more detail and see what options you have.
