I'm looking to install some outdoor blinds on the window on my west facing balcony. I've done some research and the Coolaroo Crank Operated Outdoor Blind with premium pelmet looks like my best option. I was thinking a 2.4m and a 1.2m side by side which would cover the window perfectly.
My query is, there is only a limited amount of space above the window/sliding door where the blinds can be attached. I'd have to attach them to the timber trim above the window which looks to be attached to the cladding and I'm assuming some sort of framing behind that. I noticed that the screws that come with the blinds aren't partially long and would probably just go through the timber trim and partially into the cladding. Would that we strong enough to hold the blinds or do I need longer screws or some other way of securing the blinds?
