The length is the problem. I'll take a ride tomorrow to look around, but
the standard max length seems to be 6 ft.

I have googled until I'm blue. I have a screen porch that's appx 14' x

14',

and the screened portion is about 7' high. I'm trying to find some

roll-up

blinds, bamboo or some other, that I can adapt to this. I've found one
website that may sell what I need, but they haven't responded to numerous
questions. There's a site called callaloo, but I can't even figure out

the

site to see their offerings, even though it *sounds* like they should
have
what I want. They want $15 to talk to you on the phone, so I won't

bother.

I've tried searching for porch blinds, porch shades, bamboo blinds,
bamboo
shades - and I do find places. Some have prices that are patently
ridiculous ($379 for a 4'w x 84"L bamboo shade), but most only sell 6'L
shades.

I know people make these things. I used to be able to get them from the
J.C. Penny catalog, about $200 for them all, but no more. Does anyone

know

of a source? Online preferably, but anyone will do fine.

To be more specific, the length (7') is the big thing. I used to get a
couple of 96"w x 84"L and cut them to size myself for two of the walls.

The

third wall has a door to the outside, so I got a 4' one and two 5', and
trimmed them to fit.

Thanks in advance,
Keith



This time of year you should be able to find them a lot of places. Lowes,
HD, Target maybe even Kmart. Around here JC Penny stores have sought out
the
retail window covering market. Even they may have them in store. Seven
foot
is a standard height/length. The 7' width may be a problem.

Most of the chains don't bother to list seasonal stuff on the web sites.

About all that is sold is plastic nowadays.
