Here's a challenge - in over 16 years with hillarys, I've not seen this before. Not only do sides slope, but so do doors.  Doors open in, so can't use normal sloping vertical. Thought about "upside down" sloper, as sufficient ground clearance at low end, but door would hit rail. Roof blind no good, customer doesn't like idea of permanent filos or blinds drawing down. Only solution so far would be venetian, but even set max height on right won't cover glass on left. How the hell do you make pictures smaller? HELP!!!!! |

I think this is a case of telling the customer the 2 options given is the only solution you have & that it is a case of take a pick or goodbye!!!!
It's not that you can't offer a solution but rather that it's a customer that won't go with the options open to them!!
Based on the picture I'd have give them the 'Pleated' option only & then walked away!
You can't win 'em all!!!!!

In this case I don't think there is an easy solution and I would bet the customer would still not be happy whatever you came up with. Best to forget this one. You cant win them all. Red |

Hi GVM
Are they to big for TAP pleated. At least the side cords are unobtrusive.

May be possible with venetian depending on angle GVM. I did one in a wooden conservatory with sloping sides & got suctomers consent after telling her the slats would splay a bit at the top until the venetian leveled out but only product possible. measure longest drop & fit top rail as per slope. Measured it with Mark Monroe when he was FSM & even got him to write measurements down (dont believe in letting em come out with only me working!) End result was fine & a happy customer who was very pleased with look.
