For a lot of people, the letters DIY (Do It Yourself) spark
fears of tangled measuring tapes, infuriating instructions and half-finished
projects. We’ve worked hard to make sure the DIY process is as easy as possible,
so that you can enjoy the benefits of installing your own blinds.

1. Save Time

If you’re ordering custom-made blinds, be prepared for a wait.
More often than not, you’ll have to first get a quote and make an appointment
for someone to come to your home to measure up. Then, there’s the potential for
product orders and delivery times to push timeframes out even further, to as
much as 4-10 weeks. When you do-it-yourself, you can have a stylish solution
installed on the same day. It’s as simple as checking the DIY Hub for
handy tips and following our lead.

2. Save Money

You know the old saying: time is money. The made-to-fit process
takes a lot longer, and there are costs associated with frame measurement,
installation and quoting. DIY blinds cut down on costs by shortening
timeframes. Plus, with our everyday low price cut-to-size service at Bunnings,
you’re getting a similarly custom solution at a much lower overall price.

3. Bragging Rights

There’s nothing like the satisfaction of taking on a project and
completing it yourself, from start to finish. Especially if you’ve never
completed a DIY project before, you’ll be surprised at how good it feels to
look at your blinds once they’re successfully installed. Go ahead and soak up
the satisfaction of a job well done.

4. Simplicity

When you weigh up the benefits of installing your own DIY blinds
and consider the fact that there’s not a great deal of work involved (plus that
we’re there to help you along every step of the way!), the choice is almost as
easy as the process.

So, do yourself a favour and do-it-yourself! Let us know why you think DIY is the best way to go - any tips or tricks for a smooth install?
