The area has a bay like yours. We used elbow corner connectors to keep the flow around the windows.

I am LOVING that Parma! I never even thought of making it seemless between the windows like that. It looks fabulous!

Thanks!

We got the hardware at LNT but they are going out of business, so...

Country Curtains sells the same set-up as I'm sure do many other places.

If you want a PAIR of drapes, you need to get them (and the rod) wide enough to clear the door so they won't get in the way. I have a 6 foot patio door and bought drapes 144" wide.

Hi friends,
We are glad to help you, that's why we are here. but you should give the exact measurement of patio covers

I have a regular patio door (three narrow panels though), and had to buy 4 panels of drapes to symmetrically cover. I do find that the curtains are a bit of pain in the neck - kids and cats like to play in/around/under/behind them. And I brush against them when exiting through the door. If I didn't find the curtains so pretty, I'd consider plantation shutters.

Is your patio door a slider or hinged? We have a slider, I put inside mount Romans on it like my windows. Unfortunately, the longest JCP had was 72" so it's long enough to cover the glass but leaves the wood at the bottom showing. If you can sew you can get extra fabric and move the metal rod at the bottom to lengthen it (I'm sure the cords are long enough). The only thing I don't like are the dangling cords - they seem to get tangled more than the window cords. Lowes has cordless line called Ambria - I'm even thinking of ordering those and then switching the fabrics (simple matter of untying the cords from the loops and then threading "cordless" cords through the loops, attaching to header with Velcro since both JCP and Ambria use velcro at the top). HTH.

Patio cover is easy to make. but after making the patio cover
we realize that our patio cover doesn't suit to our home. so my point is that first see the design according to home and than implement it.

I am agree with jackwilsontexas,
I already faced this problem in the life.
Than I decide to let expert to do that work.

I would like to put decorative concrete inside my house, however did not know if I could apply it to my staircase as well? Does anyone have any ideas regarding this? Any help will be appreciated.

Parma, I love your WT, so pretty!

Kismet, do you sew? Or have you found a good site for ready mades? Or do you want to hire custom mades? I think I would cover the windows to either side of the slider with the same drapes IF those windows are quite close. But that might require a very special custom made rod and HUGE curtains.

To get your drapes/curtains to clear your slider, you just have to mount the rod so it's several inches wider than your window, allowing room to pull the drapes clear back off the windows. Maybe there is room for drapes to gather up opened between your slider and the windows?

Another choice is to use some type of blinds (Roman, Balloon, Austrian, etc) that pull down from the top. That could look very pretty. The windows could also be grouped all together with one valance, again if they're close. Hard to advise without seeing a picture. Can you post one?

I recently took down my white plastic vertical blinds (YEAH!) and hung a fantastic rod I found at Big Lots. Then I ordered washable thermal drapes on clearance from JC Penney for my slider. The rod extends past my door and it is hung on clip rings so they slide really easy. My only mistake, they are not quite wide enough, coverage is sparse. So I ordered a second pair and they should be arriving in a few days. Not sure how that will work out. I may have to have two panels sewn to the others, we will see. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. But we use our door alot. Kids run in and out all day as well as dog and we haven't had a problem. And they frame the sliders so nicely. So much nicer than what I had before. Good luck. If you go this route, just get them nice and wide.

I would love to see any and all pix of any and all solutions. Joanie38- yours in particular-(please?)

Hello I would like to know that what is the right choice for making patio in my backyard?

Help and suggestions please

Jameslink08, Try posting a brand new thread with your question. Even though sometimes these threads go 'off topic' we try not to start off in a whole different direction on someone else's question.
Also, there is a patio and porch forum. When I had patio questions, I tried over there and they were pretty helpful.
