Please Note: These instructions should be read thoroughly before installing.
This is a guide to assist in the installation and care of your external awnings. Betta Blinds and Awnings
do not guarantee the accuracy of the information contained in this guide. We recommend an
experienced expert installer to rely upon their own skills. This is based on general knowledge concerning
the assembly, materials and working process of the external blinds, which is known to us at the time of
printing this guide, consequently is subject to change and Betta Blinds and Awnings specifically reserves
the right to change this guide without notification.
Ensure all components are included in your packaging, before proceeding to install:
Guide bars x 2
Brackets x 2
U Brackets x 2
Arms x 2
You will also need: screws, plugs, drill, hammer drill (if drilling into concrete), measuring tape, spirit level
and shifter
If installing on a brick wall NEVER put the screw into a mortar line. If the position you need to drill is
over a mortar line move up to the centre of the brick above that position.
1. Check the size of your blind against the label, which will be attached to the packaging.
2. Install Brackets - The outside measurement from bracket to bracket is the OPEN size, it is the width of your
blind. Mark where the control end bracket is to be installed and the idle end. Drill, plug and attach brackets.
Ensure that the positions where the fasteners run through the brackets are secured into brick, or into the wall's
structural support. NB: Ensure that the brackets are fitted level horizontally.
3. For installing guides, measure 18mm in from outside of bracket. If using 150mm arm, measure
vertically 50mm from bottom of bracket and mark; this is where your top screw on your guide is to be
attached. If using 300mm arm, measure vertically 170mm from bottom of bracket; this is where your
top screw on your guide is attached. This will be where your top screw is to be fixed -
4. Drill, plug and loosely secure the top screw only, on your Guide Bars. Make sure the Guide Bar is
running parallel to the window.
5. Slide the U Bracket onto the Guide Bar. Position the U Bracket on the wall so that the top of the U
Bracket is level with the windowsill. Mark this position.
Take U bracket off guide and detach guide. Drill, plug and attach U bracket on marked area to wall.
6. Slide arm onto guide bar, with the tail end on the bottom. Slide guide bar
through U bracket and attach to wall
7. Attach a shifter to the Roller Pin. Wind the shifter clockwise to apply
tension. Use the size chart (enclosed) to determine how many turns of
tension are required. Do NOT let go of the shifter while tensioning as the
spring has a lot of force in it. Do NOT try and over tension the spring. When
the right amount of tension has been applied, drop the holding tab down
and wind the spring back until it engages the pin - refer to picture 3
8. Install blind into brackets NB: Spring end/lock off pin should be on the
right side
9. To operate pull down bottom bar. To put blind up, push bottom bar down
and twist up (in one motion).
Caution: Like all outdoor blinds, it is prudent to retract the blind in the presence of strong winds.
