Day nught shades

Anyone else had the pleasure of restringing one of these monsters?

Like anything else, found the 'how to' online. Estimated half hour job it said. YEAH...RIGHT!!!! 4 hours of frustration later the job was done.

Maybe half hour if you are familiar with the job & havea nice big table to lay the thing out on but not when it is a one off job & you are trying to do it across a couple of chairs indoors because it is raining.

  • Downtheroad, do the ones you get from HD also have the day/night feature?
  • Much too frustrating...made me crazy...so when they go, we have been replacing them with - Cordless Pleated Shades from Home Depot.

    Custom order: size, color and transparency (we get the light blocking privacy ones). Work great, easy to swap out and much easier to operate.

  • I did one once, I don't think I will do another one though. Next time one breaks I think I will go with mini blinds. For me they are much easier to use and no restringing. JMO
  • I have done lots of them. It gets easier the more you do. You will get to do more if you use the blinds.
