Description
Instead of paying $1000 for the official sun screen blinds for the Mirador Louvered Aluminium Pergola i wanted a cheaper options. So i bought a retractable Side awning from amazon for less that $100 and resting it on the ground you can pull the awning up and hook it into the clip grip where it creates a solid hold. The weight of the awning box is enough to solidly keep it anchored to the ground and because it is retractable, it even flexes with the wind. You can move the clip to any position and so the blind is completely flexible and you can move it to any position. When not in use, simply unclip and store.
Suggest PETG as stronger but my test print was PLA and has been very strong so far.
I also have another version of the clip if you want to hang a sheet as a blind.
