Application
"I'm looking to enclose my deck for the fall and winter so I can use a heater and a gas fireplace. What would be the best product options for this purpose?"
Solution
Heavy-duty clear vinyl drapes would be perfect to safely use a heater and gas fireplace while enclosing your deck for the cooler seasons. (Please make sure you have proper ventilation inside the enclosure if you will be using heaters for safety) These curtains are made especially to be strong, weather-resistant barriers that protect your outdoor area from cold temperatures, wind, and rain. Particularly appealing in fall and winter is the translucent vinyl material, which lets natural light pass through and preserves visibility to the outside, therefore keeping the area bright. Please ensure that the heater is at least 4' away from the vinyl material to prevent it from melting.
When employing heating components like a heater or gas fireplace, maintaining a warmer climate is absolutely vital, thus enclosing your deck with these curtains helps. The vinyl curtains help to trap heat, therefore ensuring that the warmth produced stays within the enclosed space and makes your deck a pleasant haven even in colder seasons. Furthermore, these curtains are easy to roll up or down and strong enough to resist the seasonal elements, giving you control over the enclosure depending on the weather. This arrangement makes your outside area year-round use, therefore prolonging the lifetime of use for your deck far beyond the summer months.
Application
"I am looking for a clear curtain that can be used as a wall during the winter in upstate New York. We are unsure which fasteners and thickness would be best for our application."
Solution
A thick clear vinyl curtain is advised to create a clear wall during the hard winters in upstate New York. Particularly helpful during the shorter winter days, this kind of curtain offers great insulation and lets natural light pass through, therefore helping to keep chilly air out.
For this use, a thickness of about 30 mils is perfect since it provides superior insulation and greater durability than thinner choices. Though strong enough to serve as a good barrier against wind and moisture, the material is flexible enough to resist low temperatures without shattering.
The finest option for fastening the curtain is reinforced edges mixed with heavy-duty grommets. This arrangement guarantees that the curtain remains tightly in place even in windy surroundings. Snap fasteners or heavy-duty hooks will let you tightly seal the curtain to the wall or ceiling, depending on your construction, therefore improving insulation.
While still allowing light and visibility to pass through, this clear vinyl curtain will efficiently form a temporary wall to aid in preserving a more comfortable home environment during the winter.
Application
"Okay, so I want to get clear porch curtains before winter hits, but I have a slope on each side. Making the front set online is easy, but I'm trying to figure out how to handle the sides. I would like the side with stairs to have a zipper on the left. I saw your curtains on Amazon and noticed that custom shapes are possible. Is it an option to do a sloped top for the roof with a flat bottom?"
Solution
Custom clear vinyl curtains can be fashioned to fit the particular form of your structure for your porch with sloped sides. These curtains are perfect for winterizing your porch since they create a clear barrier that blocks the cold and lets you enjoy the view even still. Durable and weather-resistant, the material guarantees that your porch stays covered all through the season.
One can quite easily create a curtain with a slanted top and a flat bottom. This custom design will fit the angle of the roof, so tightly blocking out drafts and moisture. Including a zipper on the left side for the stair part will also make entry simple while preserving the integrity of the enclosure. You can design and build these custom shaped clear panels on this page. https://www.curtain-and-divider.com/product/custom-shape-tarps/
Install these translucent curtains with reinforced edges and grommets for strong fastening to guarantee they remain in place even in windy circumstances. Customizing lets you get the ideal fit for your porch, therefore enhancing both utility and visual appeal and enabling year-round, even in colder weather use of your outside area.
Application
I realize this wouldn't be intended usage of this product, but I was considering hanging a 30 mil plastic tarp behind an archery backstop net to help stop arrows. By chance, do you happen to know if 30mil plastic tarp is thick enough to have any effect in stopping an arrow? Can I use your thick vinyl material to stop a sharp object hitting it?
Solution
Vinyl curtains are not designed to withstand the impact of arrows or other high-velocity projectiles. Vinyl is a flexible, durable material commonly used for environmental separation, temperature control, and light-duty protection (such as against dust, moisture, or light impacts). However, it lacks the necessary strength and rigidity to stop or deflect high-speed projectiles like arrows and it's not impact resistance. You want to consider materials with ballistic properties or something that is rigid.

My wife and I are VERY interested in ordering patio curtains from you. We enjoy our patio so much but the Texas heat and also a couple of months in the winter make it impossible to use during those times. With your curtains and a good portable AC/heater I believe we could use our patio year-round. My concern is how to deal with the side curtains to fit with our 6-inch-high upper deck. By sending you exact dimensions could you help us with a solution? I'll need to do a little extra carpentry work, but I think it will be easy to do. Just hanging the curtains on hooks via gromets appear to be the most practical along with a bottom sleeve and pole. Again, the section where we'll need to jump up 6 inches is eluding me on how to solve. We'd also want zipper entries on all three sides. On the back side between the patio roof and the gutter I'll need to construct a 12 inch drop down for attaching the gromets on that side, leaving open the space where our windows and rocking chairs are located for our temperature-controlled area. Can I use your Patio Curtains during winter?
Solution
Yes, our patio curtains can withstand low temperature. With proper ventilation or HVAC unit, you can use this during winter. You can do a combination of opaque (at top and bottom), and clear in the middle for vision to further strengthen it.
We can follow the shape of the opening, a triangular top for instance, to completely cover it with vinyl. You can work on mounting it with local-hardware-bought screw hooks through the grommets or we can put Twist Locks.
Application
I have a couple of questions about snaps. I am looking to enclose my screen room for the winter. I would like to go with the 20 mil clear and use snaps. My biggest opening is 83x88 inches. My questions are, how do they hold up to wind? How long do they typically last? How do your curtains hold up to wind?
Solution
Our outdoor vinyl curtains can withstand up to 25-30 mph. You can reinforce the curtain by adding accessories that will help it stay still. Check this page for more information Wind Rating
Application
I'm looking to screen in my patio that is under a deck (pictures attached). The patio has some height changes do to block walls on the sides. I've gone ahead and input what I believe I would need for panels/curtains (quote attached). I do have a few questions. 1. How to connect panels together, do you offer magnetic connections to the sides? Or are grommets my only/best option. If so, how would I choose Twist Locks on top, Pocket on Bottom, and Grommets on Sides? 1a. If grommets are my only option for the sides, how do I ensure that they will line up with each panels on either side? 2. Do you offer magnetic openings instead of zipper? 3. Do you offer ties to be able to roll the curtains up and tie them, when I dont want them in use?
Solution
Yes, we can put magnet buttons on pockets that are sewn on the edge of a curtain. This is paired with steel bars that are sewn on pockets sewn on the edge of the other curtain. However, this will not hold up to winds. Fasteners that we offer can be placed anywhere on the curtain - Twist Locks, Grommets, Pockets, among others.

Application
I came across your products online and found them very impressive. We want to install a curtain on the aft platform of our boat to provide sun protection and privacy. Our potential customer has requested an automatic curtain system. They prefer the curtain to be made of fabric similar to the other fabrics used on the boat. Therefore, we plan to purchase only the curtain mechanism from you. Do you sell an automatic curtain system that moves up and down? Do you have fabric curtains that can automatically roll up and down?
Solution
We have a system that allows the curtain to roll up and down using a remote control. However, this is not available for fabric materials due to the weight capacity of the hardware.

I am working on a project at Hollywood Bowl, LA and are researching products for a new covered outdoor lounge space. Can we use AKON for outdoor condition? Intention is to mount the track to roof bridging truss which is long span and is expecting some amount of deflection. Is there a max deflection limit to your product? Are your curtains and curtain track outdoor rated?
Solution
Yes, our 18oz and 22oz curtain material are outdoor rated. We have 20mil for the clear materials, but bigger openings require 30mil and 40mil. Curtain tracks on the other hand can hold high winds as long as enough support and properly mounted. The rollers can carry a minimum of 40 lbs per hook. We can add anchor straps that can run from top to bottom of the curtain with cam buckle that can withstand more than 800 lbs per piece.

Hey, I'm trying to come up with ideas on how to keep rain from going through my deck as we want to have a patio underneath and came across your company. I saw the clear patio surrounds and thought it might be a decent way to hang underneath the deck joists and divert water out. Would there be strong enough to do that job or do you have something that might work for that? Any ideas would be appreciated. Are there curtains available to protect my patio from the elements?
Solution
We have clear tarps that can be customized according to what you need for your patio and protect it from the elements. We can follow the shape of the opening under a deck and put grommets or twist locks around it for mounting.
