Patios and decks do not give privacy; therefore, the outdoor roll up bamboo blinds give you the opportunity to enjoy privacy without permanently closing you out from the outside world. The outdoor roll up bamboo blinds can be rolled up to allow light into the room while making the facades visible from the inside. The blinds look beautiful when rolled up to half-length, and the pull cord is very easy to use.
There are a variety of colors and styles to choose from to help you fully maximize your outdoor space.
Outdoor roll up bamboo blinds can measure anything from 50 inches up to 100 inches wide, so they are suited to a wide range of patios and decks. To ensure you have complete privacy when sitting on your patio, you'll need the exact measurements to find a blind that covers everything. Still, it isn't just about covering. A bamboo blind will be part of what people see when they pass by your house, so it's crucial to find one that is well-fitting to prevent a messy look. Additionally, factor in whether your blinds can roll up smoothly at every stage of your patio or deck. If your patio has railings that end halfway, you will need to test out whether this will hinder the movement of a bamboo blind.
Seeing as the purpose of roll up bamboo blinds is to be used outdoors, it's important you know how to properly maintain bamboo. To stop a large build-up of dirt, grime, and other marks, recommended undertaking at least two large cleaning sessions for your blinds each year. However, not all cleaning products can be used with bamboo. A soft-bristled scrub brush and warm (not hot!) water with a small amount of soap in is a good mix to start off with. Once you have brushed your blinds, take a damp sponge and gently rinse away any remaining marks. It's vital that you squeeze the sponge out properly before using it. Too much water will cause your bamboo blinds to look distorted, as bamboo swells when it comes into contact with an excess of liquid.
Though bamboo has a distinctive look and texture, it's still possible to find an outdoor roll up bamboo blind that will blend in with existing outdoor décor. Rayman Boozer states that sticking to the original tawny brown color of bamboo is the best option, as dyed bamboo can sometimes lose its binding strength. Plus, brown is a versatile neutral shade that will match well with both light and dark furniture. The only exception is if you plan to use your blinds on a stone gray or modern tiled patio. In this case, gray or whitewashed bamboo blinds would be a better choice. Keep in mind though that you may have to wash lighter blinds more than you would darker ones due to stains showing up more easily on colors like white and gray.
