    My DIY Conservatory Sun Roof Blinds: Sloping Roof Covering 6 x 3 Metres

    sew conservatory roof blinds

    After hours of agony trying to think of a thrifty but presentable way of creating a more pleasant and usable conservatory, we created these roof blinds.

    We had been given a quote from Hilary's Blinds for £1500 but as we have lots of major renovations to save up for, it was a no-no and I'm pleased to know that this cost around £150.

    I decided to film this as a blog style tutorial as we couldn't find any designs around that we could use ourselves, so I am offering you this which I hope helps.

    Our conservatory is a sloping roof and 6 x 3 metres wide but this could easily be used for a similar shape.

    You can find the links to everything I used in the box below the video on the YouTube link itself.

    Good luck and if you have any queries on anything, please comment below and I will try to help.

      Does this work at blocking heat out?
      It is a brilliant idea
