Can the 10' shade be cut down to 8.5' If I order the 10' shade and cut it down to 8.5' will the fabric fray?

Well we did it and it worked! My husband used a hot knife(tip for a soldering iron) and have had no problems.

Sorry, but we don't know what a fabric sealant is... We have had ours up over a month and it is just fine. Our cord was not long enough and I ordered another one from coolaroo for less than $3. Good luck!

Thanks for your help. We already ordered it, so I will let you know how it goes...We hung one last weekend that we did not have to cut. It looked better than I thought it would. Fingers crossed. Thanks again

Hello,We are also looking at these blinds and was wondering about cutting to size, good to know it worked for you, do you think a fabric sealant would make it more secure? I need three blinds and 3 different sizes.M. Bell

That's correct. I need a 8 foot long shade. The other ones that are 6 feet by 6 feet just isn't long enough.

I can't speak for the 6' shade, but I can for the 10'. I had a 10' opening, and the 10x10' shade would not fit...at all. There were an additional 3-4 inches in mounting hardware (I imagine the same for the 6x6').

I separated mine and used the interesting shade for over my dining room table. I used the cord part in the corner of my den with a plain simple shade over it. since it is in the corner & I have high ceilings, I cannot measure it for you without getting out a ladder. I had to use an extension cord with it because of where I used it, but if I were to guestimate I would say it's right at 10' long.

Tom, No these shades can not be cut. I saw a FAQ somewhere where a person asked the same question. They said there are stores where you can special order them, Home Depot was one of those stores. www.coolaroousa.com is the website for the manufacturer. I have 4 8's and 3 6's around my back porch. They work fantastic. One last thing, by the look of the picture you have chosen the one without the valence. The same exact product is on Amazon (pictured hanging on a porch between 2 white pillars) with a valence (not shown in picture) for a slightly cheaper price. I know this because i ordered the ones without the valences and shipped them back and got the others and saved money.

Although I had Amazon mail them directly to my granddaughters, if you can enlarge the photo found at Amazon.com, you can see that there is some sort of edging to keep the cloth from fraying. Sorry I cannot be of more help

The privacy screen is sewn around the edges & will unraval if you cut it. If you order a 10ft. screen you can fold 2ft. of it over & just zip tie it to make it 8ft tall. I had to fold the screen that I bought to make it the length that I needed & it works well. Also if you fold it over, it will block out almost everything.

Yes, you can cut the netting and customize the size for your needs. It is like fabric but you don't have to worry about fraying. Not sure what you mean about keeping leaves off. I use it to keep the birds out of the strawberry and leafy greens bed.

This one was long on my 6', so should fit an 8' well. Might be a bit short on a 10'. I would suggest something with a longer length, two smaller ones, or consider skirting.

I'm not sure I will talk to my husband, we put it on together. We did have to cut it down about 10 inches.

If you could re-sew the seem you created I'm sure you could but it's definitely not designed for that. The fabric is thick but it's a fairly large weave and would fray if cut (and not re-sewn).

Hello. It probably could be cut down if you are willing to resew up the seams. Good luck!

We cut ours and didn't have any issues with fraying. We cut them with blade.

I would contact them directly with that question. I have not needed to try cutting it. The one I bought is 60". The Grizzley people I spoke to were very helpful.

No it does not fray when cut, however, I don't know about over time. I always hem it in.
