Are roller blinds easy to put up?

That depends what you think is easy.

Unless you're fortunate enough to have a window that's an exact blind size, the first thing you have to do is cut the blind to the right width. You unroll the blind completely and you'll find one of the fittings at the end of the roller pulls out. That's the end you cut. Measure carefully and saw through the roller with a hacksaw, then cut the blind with scissors. Depending on the design, you may have to cut down the stiffener at the open end. Push the fitting back into the cut roller.

You have two brackets that fit to the wall, ceiling or the sidewalls of the opening - depending where the blind is going. These normally have to be fixed by drilling and plugging the wall. Provided you have the necessary tools, the job should take you about half an hour.

It's very easy to set up a roller blind. Just follow the following steps.

1.Buy a ready-made blind, which will fit to your window or sightly larger than your window.

2.Mark the level line according to the size of your roller blind and positioned about 5-6cm above the window.

3.Install the brackets in the right position.

4. Slide the blind into place on the bracket.

Its a fiddley job , but rollerblinds come with instructions and if I can do it then I am sure you can .
