How to stop blinds unrolling in the wind?

Hi, I have this blind up in the patio window on my apartment but when i've got it pulled down and latched, the wind can sometimes push it and it unravels more. Is there any way to stop it from unrolling?

Re: Blinds unrolling in the wind

Hello @AmyD 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your blinds.

 

I propose using the VELCRO Brand 900 x 25mm Black Multi-Purpose Strap - 2 Pack. Generally speaking, the strap will need to pass through the top of the blind housing in order to strap the blind securely. It can be left in place and does not need to removed, once you roll the blind back up the strap can be reattached to prevent the blind from unfurling in high wind. One other option is to use Polytuf Adjustable Bungee Cord - 4 Pack, but the blind will need to be taken off in order for the bungee cord to be looped around the blind housing.

 

If you have any other questiosn we can help with, please let us know.
