Default bending vertical blinds for shallow bay

They charge you an awful lot more for curved vertical blinds than for
straight.
I know they are custom bent, but I suspect they rip you off too. You
can get some cheap verticals from argos. Any idea how to smoothly bend
these to fit round a shallow bay (about 2 metres across for 40cms in)
? They are probably aluminium channel. There may be problems with the
sliders snagging, but I guess the edges could be rounded off.
The difference would be 50 quid (argos) versus 300 quid plus !
Thanks,
Simon.
