Steps for installing pleated shades

How to add shade brackets

Here's what to expect when mounting the brackets for pleated shades, in your RV.

Drill driving a screw into a metal mounting bracket on a wall.

Determine placement

If you have marks around your window from previous blinds, you can use those as a guide for where to put the new brackets. If you want to move the shades higher or lower, you can change that now.Β

Hardware included

Make a mark on either side, then use the provided screws to mount the metal brackets. This is what it should look like on both sides, before adding the shade.Β

Snap in the shade

Keep an eye on the front of the metal bracket. There is a hook to catch with the shade. Hook that part at an angle, then pop the whole thing into place.

Plastic roller tubes

These little tubes hold strings in place. Where you put them will be the spot that your shade pulls down to. Decide how far down you want the shade to go, and screw them into place.

String tension

The tubes are also meant to keep the stings tight. When the string are tight, the shade will stay up. If your shades are falling down, you can tighten the strings if they loosen over time.
