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

You need a vice and a hack saw....mark the spot on the rod you would like to cut and discard....clamp the rod in a vice; using the hack saw cut the rod...on our corner shower curtain rod I used two vertical rods to give additional strength...it has been working just fine....IWD

You can get the canopy if you google. For curtains, try calling gardenwinds or similar vendors.

This is what the posting for the lining said: Blackout Drapery Lining This fabric is sold by the yard and cut to order. The dimensions of this fabric are 54'' in width, by the number of yards you order in length. For example, if you order 3 yards, your fabric will measure 54'' x 108''. If you need a continuous length of over 15 yards, please contact us to be sure we can accommodate your request. Therefore, since you need something in 35" in width and the seller only sells the fabric in 54"W... You will need to tell the seller you need 6 panels of 54"W X 121"L and then you will have to cut it to your desired width of 35". I recommend you go to a JoAnn Fabrics or something and see if they will help you with the cutting.

All you are buying is the raw fabric. Sorta like when you buy the fabric for a screen door. If you want to make the fabric into a curtain or something, you will have to sew it (or have it sewn) and fasten it. On mine, I sewed a 1.5" double hem across the top. I heated the tip of a screw driver and melted holes 12" apart so I could run screws though it to screw to a rafter. I ran a 1" hem down both sides to give it a clean, strong edge. Then I sewed a 2.5" hem in the bottom and ran a piece of PVC tube though it to secure the bottom. I can also roll it up around the PVC tube inside the bottom hem..

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. :)

Yes it can definitely be used outside. It has a middle support part that drills into the wall (optional) which makes it very sturdy. Even without the middle support, it's sturdy. I have a rather long, heavy curtain (double panel/lined) and I have had no trouble with it on this rod.

No. You could use them outside if there is not threat of rain and no wind. Wind will cause the silk to not work right.

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.

The round ones you use on a curtain rod? Nope as long as you use a good rod. Those flimsy, thin aluminum ones won't work and you just gave me a great idea for a background in my photo studio. :) You will need to put some grommets or whatever-the metal rings that lease a hole in the ,materiel for such purposes or something similar.

I have not used sheers with these, and If you want sheers mounted behind this rod I think it would be very tight unless you had a way to move the rod brackets on this rod out further. Mine let the curtains just clear the window sill... Of course if you are not working around woodwork like I am then you would have 2 inches of space for a sheer/rod.

I use the fabric for the interior of presentation cases and is very nice for this but I don't think it would be good for curtains.

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.

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.

This is designed for cutting vinyl sheets. Are you referring to cutting a pattern to put on fabric to cut with scissors? If so I would say yes, but note the size limitation with this cutter.

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.

I see no reason why you couldn't do that as long as you don't cut the hard supports. Cutting the cloth should be fine. They work very well. Hope this helps.
