Crank & Clip Outdoor Blinds
This is our little gem of a blind and although it’s our cheapest, it’s also our favourite go-to patio blind due to its versatility.

DIY Patio Blinds

Crank and Clip Outdoor blinds can be used in two ways: as a ‘straight drop’ (over windows or on the outside of your patio) or as a ‘roof-to-fence’ blind (bridging the gap from your patio to your fence). Either way, it is a great way to reduce heat and glare, stopping that afternoon sun beaming in while enjoying your alfresco area with friends or family.

This outdoor roller blind is also perfect for balcony areas, where you don’t want structural posts blocking your view, as it doesn’t need side channels.

Things to know
Because this alfresco blind does not have channels you will have a 40mm gap down each side if it is fitted in between posts. This gap can be reduced if the blind is fitted on the outside of posts. However, if you are looking to fully enclose your outdoor area, this is probably not the blind for you.

Although this blind can be fitted with a motor, it does not work quite as effectively as it can on other types of outdoor blinds, therefore we recommend keeping this blind manual.
