How do I install a 

Coolaroo 3x2.4m Crank Operated Outdoor Blind on a patio

Hello @sneds 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your Coolaroo outdoor blind.

If you are installing it on your patio, you'll need to determine if there is a horizontal mounting point for the blind. I take it that the blind is 3 meters wide, so you'll need to make sure that the area you are installing it in is at least 3 meters wide.

Are you installing it on timber or steel? This will determine what kind of screws you'll need to use to anchor it to the mounting point. Is it positioned correctly or do you need to offset the blind in the patio. You'll be able to determine this once you do a test fit.

My best advice is to have a second pair of hands to hold the blind while you are installing.

If you are using a ladder I suggest having a look at this guide - How to use ladders safely by @Adam_W.
