Can I cut and use this fabric for outdoor curtains? Planning to use large grommets and a rod...

Yes! We are making curtains for under our deck too. Cuts real easy...use a warm...not hot iron to iron a crease & sew the cut edge so it doesn't fray. Went through a household sewing machine just fine.

Yes, we did cut, sew and put large grommets in ours. We used the green one as a sail shade and just made it to the size and shape we want. However depending on the sun situation it is still a little see through, like dense netting.

Yes. I cut the fabric and placed it over skylights. You might want to secure the sides from unraveling since they would blow in the wind. I am very happy with the product and appreciate the protection front he sun plus you can still see through it.

I don't think it would hang well for curtains. It is like a plastic canvas texture. It is more suited for a screen, pulled tight.

It's more suited for screening Home Depot carries this product in a smaller size if you want a sample

It's quite stiff and thick but the weave is a little loose so it wouldn't totally block light. It's a bit like an upholstery weight linen, but with a more synthetic feel because indoor outdoor. It would make a nice curtain but I think you'd want to line it anyway as the print is only nice on one side. It would be somewhat better as a fabric for a blind because it's quite stiff. It's pretty fabric! I bought it for outdoor cushions. Hope that helps. :)

I think you are better off buying the woven as it is thicker and designed for more blockage. Privacy Screen & Windscreen Fence W/ Brass Grommets 5.8'x50'

Cut a hole in the fabric before you insert the grommet. I use a hole punch specifically designed for making holes for grommets.

My guess would be no, it's fabric, not plastic, so you would be cutting through seams. Why would one want to cut it?

Kimberly, the cloth comes 9 inches wide folded and unfolds to 36". If you don't mind unfolding to make long 36" wide strips with 3 creases along the length, it might work. Also, it depends on the width of space and what you want to cover (you can definitely see through it so you might wand to gather it on a line/rod like one does with sheer curtains) --- how will you tie each strip together if it's windy? I'm just a guy with no decoration experience. Good luck. Basically, it's sounds like a good idea -- could be pretty -- good luck.

Hi John,If you are considering a curtain with the metal holes for the rod to fit through, you can but you would have to undo the rod if you want to remove the curtain.

Short answer no, you could cut the fabric and make it yourself but you will still have a piece of the metal frame that would be run over every time you pass through.

Yes it sand the top rod is adjustable to you should be good. hould work fine,. As long as the grommet tops aren't tiny they should slide right in so you should be good sizewise.

The Grommets are 2' apart. If you do cut it, it will need to be sewn, you may be able to heat, with a flame, the ends to keep it from unraveling. But I am sure you can request a specific size directly from the company.

This is recommended for all fabrics. Just follow the instructions and it should work. Being outside in the elements you probably will need to apply often.

Kerry, This fabric is 54 wide and is sold by the yard. I think you would need 2 yards to allow for some overhang. You will have some extra fabric

You would have a long tail. There are five sets of grommets to use and you would be using the second set (from the inside.) you might do better with a small.

Yes you can do that, I used this to remake my sofa and cut it in pieces also , no problem , scissors are not good idea , use something that cut vinyl or carpet , my sofa looks like new again , very nice , it become more firm under the fabric but still soft when you sit on that , highly recommended , the edges will get nice and round after you cover them with fabric

The grommets are about 18-24" apart. It can be cut but you need to run a flame over the cut so it doesn't fray. I did that and it worked great.

I can't say for outdoor use, but with all my curtains(one side of my wall is entirely windows about 8 ft high x 22 ft wide) wide open with all the city lights outside the windows, it looks amazing with vibrant colors and sharpness even before the sun completely sets down. I would imagine it would still be great for an outdoor use given that there are no major light sources around after the sunset. The projector is a short-throw so I don't know if that would become an issue for you. It produces 135 inch from only about 15 feet away.

No ...so unfortunate...I tried Velcro strips and mosquito netting which worked for a few months...next summer I will mount curtain rods and outdoor sheers.....
