Our first project is a diy drop cloth patio shade cover made by anything pretty.

Retractable shade cloth roof diy.

With a pencil make a line 3 4 from the center on both sides of each long top stitched seam. The result should be two lines 1 1 2 apart with the seam in the center. Fold long seam to long seam and crease the fold. Each canopy is retractable and it s the only system that allows the canopies to be partially retracted giving you more control over your shade.

All you need is a roller shade kit fabric cut to size and iron on adhesive to finish the edges. Replace pull down paper shades with this diy custom roller shade idea. Large eye screws do the sliding and make easy work of extending and retracting the canopy. When retracted this diy pergola canopy tucks neatly away at one end of the structure.

Spread the fabric shade out on a flat surface one section at a time. More than 40 fabric colors are available to match your home s decor. Block sun and increase privacy along the sides by fastening vertical blinds to the overhead structure. With a retractable canopy the fabric is attached to support boards that slide along tensioned stainless steel cables called wire ropes.

Fabric and a roller shade kit add up to a budget custom window treatment. Check out her tutorial it took them just a couple of hours to get this up and made over their old pergola. Here is another backyard shade idea for a fabric shade by koiphen. Love the globe lights woven through the shades.
