Pulley

I much prefer a metal pulley rather than a plastic pulley. They can lift very large shades and never break. The plastic pulleys are usually designed for mini-blind type shades that are lightweight.

The pulleys are attached to the wood mounting board using two screws, which are supplied with the pulleys. If you use flat pulleys instead of screw eyes, you eliminate the friction of the lift cord rubbing against the metal screw eye. Instead, the lift cord rolls the pulley bar and your shade lifts effortlessly.

pulley A Comment of Other Types of Pulleys
I am always looking for additional hardware items (sort of a hobby of mine). I have tried several other pulleys that are marketed for use on Roman shade headrails. The pulley shown at the left did not pass my test for Flawless Use and is not for sale on this web site. I am showing it to you to illustrate why I use the Flat Pulley. I used to use the pulley on the left, but found that even 1.4 mm lift cord would get caught between the housing and roller bar. They are also more expensive than the flat pulleys.

If you are handy, you can make your own pulleys! Click here for instructions sent to me by Dan McGrath.

WOW!! EJ Romero - Austin, TX - 4/16/2011, said it all, w/ words like "AWESOME". My favorite word Romero used, was "snippets" when describing other sites. Ha ha what a funny word. For real, I hope you do understand how your site is so different from other DIY. They really do give us snippets. Leaving us to search other sites looking for the left out parts. Thank you thank you

I am so impressed that you offer so much detail and comprehensive instruction for FREE! I was expecting to get snippets of information and instead I find detailed drawings, videos and well-constructed instructions. Then I thought, "Oh, she probably charges an arm and leg for hardware." So, I entered all my hardware requirements (having used your AWESOME hardware calculator) and spent the better part of an hour trying to prove that your hardware is over-priced. It was a wasted hour. Your hardward prices are VERY competitive and the convenience of having it all shipped in one order was well worth any variance I found. Also, when I found what I thought was a great deal on a Roman Shade kit, I discovered that the kits didn't even include battens and the quality of the parts and pieces was far below your standard. Thanks for making my first excursion into Roman Shades such a pleasant experience.
