I'm with you you.  Two, four foot bungees with large hooks work every time!  Get them at Home Depot  It's a snap!

Yes, roll up from the bottom. I do this with the spring rods I put in mine, when I don't want them going all the way down. Then use binder clips to clamp the fabric in place right onto the dowel. The medium size clip works well for this. Down…

yes, our curtains cover the entire inside of the canopy, 10 feet wide, 8 feet tall so the bungies are a great solution for that situation.

You mean you are sewing a vertical strip of Velcro on, that goes over the horizontal pole, and sticks to the back of the curtain? The curtains don’t sag in between? Or you put a rod through the rod pocket to prevent that?

Took me a minute to figure out what you meant. You are running the cords through horizontally and attaching them to the top end of the canopy legs? I’m using short sections of curtains, not running all the way across the inside of the canopy,…

We sewed velcro onto the top of the curtains.  that way we can put them up anytime.  On a 3' panel we put 4 strips of velcro.  Works great.  Have used them for over 8 years with no problems.

Ruth, I use bungees also and have no problems.  My curtains are light weight sheers.....and the bungees are similar color so they don't show through the fabric.  I leave the bungees in the curtains and put them all in a box for…

Hi, Linnea!  Connie suggested I leave a comment for you... Coming from the Chicagoland area, what do you know of the Deerfield Festival of Arts in Deerfield, and the Naperville Women's Guild's Art Show?  Both of these are on the weekend of June 4-5... Have you done either of these or heard good/bad info on them?  Coming from Central Illinois, I know both areas are good areas, but I'm having a hard time finding any reviews on either show.  Any thoughts or comments would be most appreciated!  Many thanks in advance, then, for your time and efforts!

 

Warmest regards!
