How do I install wooden patio blinds?

The OpenUp wooden terrace blind system has been designed for simple and repeatable installation. You can install it yourself on a terrace, balcony, pergola, gazebo or shed.

The basis of the system are movable handles that work with wooden boards with a cross-section of 9.8 × 2 cm. The mechanism makes it possible to adjust the position of the boards with a single hand movement.

Step-by-step assembly

1. Prepare the structure

Check before starting the installation:

building width and height,
risers and levels of the structure,
place of attachment of handles.

The system can be assembled:

Horizontally,
within a wooden framework,
in aluminium frames.

2. mount the handles

The brackets are attached to the frame or supporting structure. It is very important to maintain even spacing and mounting axes. This affects the subsequent smooth running of the blind.

3. fix the wooden planks

The planks are mounted in the movable holders of the OpenUp system. When all elements are assembled, the enclosure functions as a single coherent mechanism.

4. set the shutter operation

Once assembled, you can set:

degree of opening,
amount of light,
ventilation,
the level of protection of the terrace or balcony.

Is it difficult to install wooden blinds?

The system was designed with self-assembly in mind. Most customers do the installation themselves using basic tools.

If you need help:

in the selection of the number of handles,
board lengths,
element spacing,
type of development,

Important information before installation

Wooden boards intended for outdoor use should be adequately protected with impregnation, varnish or protective paint.

Before installation it is also worthwhile:

check the opening direction of the fitting,
plan the construction divisions,
take into account ventilation and drainage,
choose the right colour of bracket to match the construction of the terrace or pergola.

Frequently asked questions

Do wood blinds for the terrace protect from the sun?

Yes. Movable boards allow you to regulate the amount of light entering your terrace or balcony. You can either open the enclosure completely or position the planks at the angle of your choice, creating shade and reducing heat build-up in the space.

Do wooden patio blinds protect against rain?

Blinds help to reduce the blowing of light rain and wind onto the terrace. However, they are not an airtight enclosure like glazing systems or solid walls. They are NOT suitable for roofs. Roof blinds must have a special profile for water drainage to work.

Will wooden blinds work well on a balcony?

Yes. The system is very often used to enclose balconies in blocks and flats. It allows you to shield your balcony from neighbours and the sun without completely closing off the space.

What woods are used in terrace blinds?

Wooden pine planks are available in our range. You can order them raw or painted.

Do wooden planks need to be protected?

Yes. Wood used outdoors needs to be properly protected with impregnation, varnish or protective paint. Regular maintenance extends the life of the building.

Can wooden blinds be painted any colour?

Yes. You can paint, stain or varnish the wooden planks to suit the look of the façade, pergola or terrace.

How do movable wooden blinds work?

The system works on movable OpenUp System handles. With a single movement, you adjust the boards to the angle you want or close the enclosure completely.

Is it difficult to install wooden blinds?

The system has been prepared for self-assembly. Ready-to-use kits and installation instructions are available in the shop.

What are the dimensions of the shutter boards?

The boards used in the system have a cross-section of 9.8 × 2 cm. Different lengths are available to suit the width of the development.

Can I order boards cut to size?

Yes. We cut the boards purchased from us to the dimensions indicated.

Can wooden blinds be installed horizontally and vertically?

Although the system allows both horizontal and vertical installation, we do NOT RECOMMEND installing the boards vertically. Wood is a living material. Installed vertically, especially in long lengths, it can warp.
