The prepared and the under prepared. Which one are you?<\/p>\n<p>The prepared person knows their blind is due to be delivered imminently and wishes to gather their tools to prepare for the installation. They like to know exactly what they\u2019re going to need, perhaps even taking time out of the evening before to clean and oil the tools in preparation. With military precision you conquer your DIY task flawlessly, with the tools laid within arm\u2019s reach, arranged neatly with the optimum 5cm gap between each tool.<\/p>\n<p>Opposite to this are the underprepared who never intend to wing it, but inevitably do. You know the sort of DIY-er, the one who uses half-filled pint glasses balanced on shelves to act as a spirit level because they lost it in the shed once upon a time. Or perhaps the person who doesn\u2019t own a hammer so opts for a weighty book to batter the nail in instead. I won\u2019t tell you which one I am but I hear the spine of the Encyclopaedia Britannica is most effective at accomplishing the task.<\/p>\n<h3>Shop Venetian Blinds<\/h3>\n<table border=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/teal-venetian-blind\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Teal Venetian Blind\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/pub\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Teal_Venetian_Blind1.jpg\" alt=\"Teal Venetian Blind\" width=\"400\" height=\"378\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/teal-venetian-blind\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Teal Venetian Blind<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/teal-venetian-blind\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">From <strong>\u00a37.56<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/slate-venetian-blind\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Slate Venetian Blind\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/pub\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Slate_Venetian_Blind1.jpg\" alt=\"Slate Venetian Blind\" width=\"400\" height=\"378\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/slate-venetian-blind\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Slate Venetian Blind<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/slate-venetian-blind\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">From <strong>\u00a37.56<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/red-venetian-blind\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Red Venetian Blind\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/pub\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Red_Venetian_Blind1.jpg\" alt=\"Red Venetian Blind\" width=\"400\" height=\"378\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/red-venetian-blind\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Red Venetian Blind<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/red-venetian-blind\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">From <strong>\u00a313.20<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Whether you are prepared or underprepared but still expecting a <strong><a class=\"c-turquoise\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/roller-blinds\">roller<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a class=\"c-turquoise\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/vertical-blinds\">vertical<\/a><\/strong> or <strong><a class=\"c-turquoise\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/metal-venetian-blinds\">venetian blind<\/a><\/strong> to be delivered soon, then this is the blog post for you. Read on to find out what tools you\u2019ll need to install a blind.<\/p>\n<p>Your blind \u2013 roller, vertical or venetian \u2013 will come with brackets but no fixing kit. So we supply the brackets, but you&#8217;ll have to buy your own screws and wall plugs \u2013 two for each bracket and one for the child safety device if the blind needs it. The following are handy tools you\u2019ll most likely have around the house and our blinds don\u2019t require any specific machinery for you to install them (but feel free to hire a cherry-picker if your window is particularly tall).<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tools you need to install a blind:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #009ca6; font-weight: bold;\">\u2714<\/span> A pencil<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #009ca6; font-weight: bold;\">\u2714<\/span>\u00a0A tape measure<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #009ca6; font-weight: bold;\">\u2714<\/span>\u00a0A drill<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #009ca6; font-weight: bold;\">\u2714<\/span> A spirit level<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #009ca6; font-weight: bold;\">\u2714<\/span>\u00a0A screwdriver<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"Tools needed to install a blind\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/pub\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tools_needed1.jpg\" alt=\"Tools needed to install a blind\" width=\"800\" height=\"165\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Your tape measure will come in handy, especially in the measuring stages. This is how you\u2019ll find the width and drop of the blind, but also to give you the distance away from the window that the blind will need to be installed if you have handles that will get in the way.<\/p>\n<p>When you come to <strong><a class=\"c-turquoise\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/fitting-instructions\">install the blind<\/a><\/strong>, you\u2019ll be able to use the tape measure to check that your pencil marks for the holes are spaced evenly from the window at each end.<\/p>\n<p>The drill will allow you to create holes which are indicated by pencil markings. These holes will allow you to put the wall plug in and then screw the blind in to it.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re drilling into wood, you\u2019ll need a thin wood drill bit which will create something called a pilot hole which helps to guide the screw in. If you\u2019re going into masonry, you\u2019ll need a bigger drill bit (make sure the drill bit is the same size as the wall plug). Put like that, installing blinds is a doddle!<\/p>\n<h3>Shop Pleated Blinds<\/h3>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Jeans Blackout Pleated Blind\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/pub\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Jeans_Blackout_Pleated_Blind1.jpg\" alt=\"Jeans Blackout Pleated Blind\" width=\"400\" height=\"378\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jeans Blackout Pleated Blind<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\">From <strong>\u00a315.60<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Forest Green Pleated Blind\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/pub\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Forest_Green_Pleated_Blind1.jpg\" alt=\"Forest Green Pleated Blind\" width=\"400\" height=\"378\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Forest Green Pleated Blind<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\">From <strong>\u00a314.40<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Grape Pleated Blind\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/pub\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Grape_Pleated_Blinds1.jpg\" alt=\"Grape Pleated Blind\" width=\"400\" height=\"378\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Grape Pleated Blind<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\">From <strong>\u00a314.40<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>DotcomBlinds offers a range of <strong><a class=\"c-turquoise\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/bifold-door-blinds\/shopfeature\/pleated\">pleated blinds<\/a><\/strong> that require no drilling or screwing at all, and as a result, need no tools for installation.<\/p>\n<p>Pleated blinds have a tab on either end of the head rail and bottom bar which simply slides under the rubber gasket running around the window.
