Faux Wood Blinds (Outside Mount)

• Decide where you'd like to mount the blind outside the window. Ensure you have about 2 ½” of flat surface to mount the product, either on top of any trim or above it on the wall - it's up to you! For more specific mounting details, check the "Specifications" tab on the product page.

Measuring the Width

• Measure the true width of the window opening in three distinct places (top of the window, middle of the window, and the bottom of the window).
  
  
• Record the biggest width out of the three different measurements.
  
  
• Make a minimal addition to the size of 2” on each side or 4” total. For instance, if the opening of the window is 72 inches, it would be helpful to order 76”. This will provide 2” of coverage on each side of the window for light gap coverage and maximum privacy.
  
  
• Adjust the additions as much as you’d like, but the above example is a good starting point.
  
  
• Use the final number for the width measurement.

Measuring the Height

• The exact height of your window opening needs to be measured in three particular places: top left, center, and top right down to the bottom of the window sill.
  
  
• Note the greatest height out of the three height measurements.
  
  
• Make a minimum addition to the size of 2” for the top and 2” for the bottom or 4” total. For example, if the window height is 36” inches, it would be helpful to order 40”. This will provide enough of a flat surface to mount the blinds while providing maximum privacy and light gap coverage.
  
  
• Feel free to make the additions as small or as large as you want.
  
  
• Use this number as the height.
