Thank  you  for  purchasing  your  new  Natural  Woven  Shade. 
It has been custom-made from the highest quality materials 
to the dimensions you specified. With proper installation and 
care, it will provide you with many years of beauty and trouble-
free use.

Please read all instructions before you start so you will be familiar 
with the overall process.

Getting Started

Remove the shades from the packaging but do not dis-
pose  of  the  packaging  until  the  shades  are  installed  to 
your satisfaction.

As much as possible, leave the shades in their factory configura-
tions as they come out of the boxes. However, for cord and 
pulley or cord lock lifting systems, depending on the placement 
of the cords, you may need to remove the T pins immediately to 
avoid damaging the cords during installation. Leave the straps 
around the roll shade until it is installed.  

 

Tools

 

Hardware

Check  to  make  sure  you  received  the  brackets  and  screws 
shown in the diagram. Keep in mind that the brackets must 
be securely attached to the wall or other mounting surface, 
preferably  by  drilling  the  screws  into  wood  studs.  If  studs 
are not available, you will need to purchase special fasteners 
designed for your situation (see illustration for examples of 
common fasteners).
