arch aSSeMBLY

Page 2

The wood arch is intended to be installed with the slats angled down 
toward the window. This provides for maximum light control and will 
keep the sun’s rays from damaging furniture and carpet. You will be 
unable to install a stand alone arch with the slats angled in the 
opposite direction.

WARNING: 

3 Day Blinds recommends that you follow these 

instructions carefully. If you fail to attach the arch to a window sill 
or wood blind support brackets, the arch could be dislodged and  
fall from the window. This could result in damage to property. It  
could also seriously harm people and/or animals.

 

•  Remove the arch components  

 

  from their protective wrapping. 

 

  DO NOT remove the shims  

 

  located in the grooves.

 

•  Attach the vertical supports to  

 

  the bottom rail using a Phillips    

 

  screwdriver and the #8 x 

3

”  

 

  screws. The vertical supports 

 

  are numbered starting at 1 and 

 

  correspond to the same number  

 

  written inside the groove on the  

 

  bottom rail. Be careful not to  

 

  over-tighten the screws, as this  

 

  may crack the vertical supports.  

 

  Make sure the screws are flush  

 

  with the face of the bottom rail  

 

  and all vertical supports are  

 

  facing the same direction.
