Seriously, the company should be compensating you for such an awesome tutorial! We’ll buy this product because of your video. Thank you!

@AmplifyDIY Жыл бұрын

Hey Sampler - I'm glad you liked the tutorial! :-) I've been happy with my shade so far - it's been up for a few years now and is holding up great. As for compensation: I only feature stuff on my channel that I've bought and paid for myself, so I can be completely honest about my experience/opinions. Once compensation comes into play, suddenly the motivations get all wonky. Thanks for watching!

Hi everyone, the time saving and cost saving hack for converting from a Manuel roll up and down to a motorized is, Instead of buying a motor and making a platform to mount the motor and having to be around an electrical outlet. Just Purchase a proper length aluminum or steel dowl rod. In My case I had an old car hood prop rod laying around. I simply bent one end of that rod/dowl into the shape of a hook and then I put the other end of the rod/dowl into my portable drill bit and tighten the drill bit onto the rod. Insert hook shaped end into the shade turning apparatus. Now you can use your portable drill to lower and raise your new shade with no cost to you other than your rod Purchase. I've been using that application for 20 years on a heavy duty outside 21ft long awning.

A friend asked me to help her install one of these. She sent this video. It is absolutely outstanding. It's a textbook example of a well-done video: Tons of info, low editorial content. It doesn't assume the viewer knows how to use tools, but never condescends. Thank you very much for making this video.

I don’t have a patio that needs this, so I watched this purely for the entertainment value. I love how you explained the pitfalls that can happen while installing the product, and how to get past them, and the little improvement you made with that hook thingy. This was great, and you’re a good teacher.

@Subgunman Жыл бұрын

These style of roll up shades are quite common in Greece. As for "motorizing" the system, I obtained an old rod from the rust bin. Cleaned and painted it. Cit off the main part of the crank and ran a bolt up into the hollow rod. Take a nut driver bit for the size of hex bolt used, chuck it into your cordless drill and your off to the races.

My motorized version consisted of me using one of the bars with a hook on the end, cutting off the end that turned into a hand Crank, and buying a cheap cordless drill that it's always attached to. To raise and lower the shade fast I just hook onto the mechanism up top and drill it up or down in seconds.

Thank you for the video, didn’t have to open the directions. Used to cover a boathouse entry, at least for the time being. After determining where I wanted to mount, I tightened the wind up side, used a hanger to hold in place, then adjusted the opposite. Easy job for 2 people, but it can be done solo.
