This is version 3 and 4 of the curtains. Version 3 was coolaroo triangle sun shades for 2 days. They were sort of yellow/gold and the heavy material just did not look right and they were far too large.
So now I am back to Ikea curtains but this time they are much lighter and not as long. They are still white. I need something to hand them with that will never rust and can sustain in the wind. It was going to be 45 mph winds one day so the day before I put up the curtains. I went to HD and bought all the plastic chain link they had in white. I used stainless steel eye and hooks to hold them up. Since it's impossible to get the chain straight with curtains I had to put just one at each end.
You may notice the movement due to the wind.
So I tied them.
The plastic chain link stood up to the wind but I spent a lot of time pulling the curtains back down and across. Then on one trip we saw one curtain shredded by our Agave, 2 of them down and others twisted around the chain link. That was Dec 2013 so down they all came.
