I want one of these in a 36 x 72. Has anyone tried slicing this down the middle &amp; saving the other half for later? I don't want it to fray though.

i have not cut mine - the fabric looks like it would fray - there's something called 'Dritz Fray Check' which stops fabric fraying - that might work along the edge

I cut a 72x72 down to 72x48. Easy to cut but the result is an uneven grout line below the first row of tile. A friend did the same cut down but had a more talented tile guy. The consistency of thinset on the floor isimportant to insure proper water flow. Short answer, yes.

Yes I cut mine down a little as well, to make it fit. Be careful to get the length correct. If you cut it too short you are shall we say "screwed". Better to err on the long side as you can always cut off more. There is a small fudge factor involved. I used masking tape at the cut line to make sure I didn't scratch the finish, I got the brown-colored pole. Am happy with the purchase.

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

I wouldnt cut it down. There is a seam that goes all the way around the outer edge to hold the fabric together and probably keep it from fraying.

Susan Geometry is not in your favor on this one, fortunately the material is not too expensive. I would purchase 5 feet or 60 inches, it's better to have a little extra to wrap around to the backside of the grill cloth frame and trim the excess when finished. Besides, you'll have enough excess to cut a practice panel. It's very important to understand how the material stretches, so having enough to practice stretching it on a piece of cardboard or the like is a good thing. Good luck and Happy New Year!

You could do that with no problems. You would probably want to burn/melt the end you cut to keep it from fraying which isn't a big deal.

I think you could cut it to fit and fold over the edge and have it sewn so that the edge does not fray.

I havent tried to cut it however with a new/sharp utility knife I do not see it being a problem. The folds are thinner than the actually padded mat so cutting along the fold could be done with some scissors (i would think) - the mat itself is fairly thin. If the equiptment you are placing on it is heavy you could just fold one fold under and it wouldnt matter since its so thin.

Since there is no finished side to this item, I see no reason why you couldn't cut it. Can't you find a smaller size though? If you do cut it, mark it with a chalk line and then cut with a razor knife.

I did not cut it, but from the feel of the material, I'm sure it would be easy to cut! I wanted the whole length for my hallway and then I used a black plastic table cloth and put white duct tape on it for the table. But to answer your question, yes, I think it would be no problem to cut this and use it in two places.

hey James!for sur you could cut it, although you'd have to be extra careful and not mess it up: it is a nice product!

I'm sure you could go about cutting/welding yourself if you really needed to. I never ended up cutting the one down I received though; I instead chose a different use for it so I could utilize the space I received. I wouldn't recommend doing that; but I'm not saying it can't be done.

Canvas would not fit down over post. I filed on the inside trying to enlarge it. It appeared to have been over crimped at manufacture.The grommet broke open and came out before it was large enough to fit over the mast. I got a pair of electrical reducing washersand glued them to both sides the canvas and put them on the mast and finished the assembly, Its working very well and I have noproblems with it. The material is a very good grade and my wife and I are very satisfied. Sure beat buying a new umbrella.Don't have measurements now as I would have to take it all apart and don't want to kick a sleeping dog in the butt.. Ken Wood Canvas would not fit down over post.

That bad, because the shape is preformed. The only way I see it's maybe to buy a little 48x48 and cut to fill the perimeter. it's high density foam so I'm sure you need to use the same material if you want to avoid problems. ope can help.....

I didn't. Cut mine, but I've seen others on here that have said it could be cut to fit fairly easily. It's pretty thick so it could take some time and talent, but it would definitely be manageable.

Aaron: You can lay a 2x6 flat, or stand it on edge. Which way are you talking about? You can cut at a 45 degree angle across the board, or tilt the blade (not swivel it) by 45 degrees. How about a better description of what you want to do. Regards, Pete
