Porch Roller Curtains

Installation Instructions

  Installing Headrod Clamps:

         1.  Install headrod clamps 8" to 12" in from total width of curtain, at desired

              height on wall. When lowered, roller curtain should not sit on floor.

         2.  Install extra headrod clamp, if provided (provided according to width of curtain),

              in center of curtain.

         3.  If headrod and pipe have been cut for shipping, use couplings provided

              to connect headrod into one length and pipe into one length.

  Installing Headrod & Galvanized Pipe:

          4.  Slide fiberglass headrod through pocket on curtain (smaller pocket). Slide

               galvanized pipe through the other pocket on curtain (larger pocket).

          5.  With fiberglass headrod in pocket, clamp onto headrod clamps. Tighten wingnuts.

  Installing Cleat:

         6.  Install cleat at desired position, on left or right side of RollerCurtain.

  Installing 2 Pulleys (1 single & 1 double for curtains 8'11" wide and under)

         7.  Slip pulleys onto the outer hook on the headrod clamps.

                   A.  Double pulley should be on the headrod clamp closest to the cleat

                         side.

                   B.  Single pulley should be on the other headrod clamp. Both pulleys should be

                         on the hook closest to the center of the curtain.  

  Installing 4 Pulleys (2 singles & 2 doubles for curtains 9' wide and over)

           7.  Slip pulleys onto the outer hook on the headrod clamps.

                    A.  One double pulley and one single pulley should be on the headrod

                          clamp closest to the cleat.

                          Center headrod clamp should have one double pulley.

                    B.  Other headod clamp (not on cleat side) should have one single

                          pulley - slip on headrod hook which is closest to center of

                          roller curtain.

  Installing Rope:

             8.  The headrod clamp has a small hole on the bottom. (This part of the

                  clamp is now behind the curtain).

                     A.  Starting with the clamp that has the single pulley, tie one end of

                           the rope through the hole on the headrod clamp. Let rope drop 

                           behind curtain to the floor.

                     B.  Bring rope up in front of the curtain and string through pulley.

                     C.  With the rope along the top of the curtain, continue to string

                           rope through the next pulley (or pulleys) and then drop it down

                           to the cleat.

                     D.  Cut rope to desired length, (Usually down to where cleat is installed

                           is sufficient).

                     E.  Repeat steps A - D for each headrod clamp with pulley.

              9.  Tension all ropes evenly and tie together. Even tension on the ropes

                    allows curtain to roll evenly. Pull curtain up & down several times

                    to allow even rolling of curtain and adjust rope tension as necessary.
