Can you cut to fit? Yes-But you'll void warranty.
Have a screened in deck and for each of the 6 areas where a blind is needed, would require a custom fit costing $$$$. I did search long and hard for an option for these outdoor spaces that I could fit at home or cut, but to no avail. We previously had these vinyl/PVC roll-up blinds from Home Depot installed for at least 20 years (old-fashioned cording), which we cut to fit then, but some of the cording finally gave way. When I could not find anything else, I went back to what we knew with these, although in white (previous was tan). Nothing on internet could be found on how to cut these type of roll-ups, but I knew they could be since we had previously (however, we did a much more careful and successful job with lessons learned from the originals (CUTTING TIPS FOLLOW!). As one reviewer said, they're so inexpensive, it was worth a shot, although you need to realize it would void any warranty (of course).New "No cord design" for safety - I totally understand and agree with the safety design, but just not sure how long the "thicker threads" of the blinds will sustain the weight of the rolled-up portion of the blind - we'll see. And it's kind of a pain to roll-up and be sure they're even - I doubt I'll be rolling up or down frequently because of this new and improved safety design.ORDERING NOTE: It was disappointing that the "original" Seller I ordered from only allowed me to purchase 4 of the 6 blinds needed with my order; I had to search and place 2 separate orders with other sellers for the 2 other blinds I needed. But it worked out fine.HOW TO CUT:I ordered 6, 48" wide blinds and every one had to be cut smaller, either on one or both sides.Follow standard measuring guidelines before cutting (measure top to bottom width and cut to the smaller width measurement).Two Important measurement points:1. Measure your window width (shortest max) and determine where it would fall on the blind taking into consideration where the threads and slats would be cut. There is a 1", 2" pattern in the slat threads; you will want to cut where you have the maximum slat left from a thread after cutting (e.g. you don't want to cut so close to a thread that the slat will be in danger of falling out). NEVER cut so much off that a MAJOR thread would be removed (this MAJOR (thick) thread is the anchor for the cordless hooks by design).2. IMPORTANT that you also consider where the top hooks in the header fall in your calculations BEFORE cutting.Tools used to cut:-Tape measure-Marker/pen-Painters tape-Hand saw (for cutting top and bottom "rails")-Sharp scissors (I used wallpaper scissors)HOW TO:After taking my measurements for each "window", I unrolled and laid out the blind on the deck floor.I used the space between the deck boarding to help with alignment of the threads and slats, and ultimately as a guide for the hand saw and wallpaper scissors.Given your blind's width and header hooks, determine where best to mark your cuts.Once I knew where I wanted to cut and did my alignment, I used painters tape on the slats to hold them in place while cutting (very helpful, and I don't think I'd cut unless I did this step).I used the hand saw to cut the footer rail, wallpaper scissors to cut the slats (using the painters tape as a guide), and then the hand saw again to cut the header rail.Timely process, but overall very easy and cheap, and I'm very pleased with the results .Oh, and although I've always been a DIY woman, I'm not willing to share my age, but I promise you that if I can do it, you can. Your only risk is losing ~$15 bucks if you test one blind first; unless you have an injury from the hand saw and scissors (hopefully, not!)

Easy to install!
These blinds were easy to install and look nice. However, they really do only "filter" the sunlight, not block it. Need to spend more $$ for that feature.

Clips are awful
I like that they seem to be sturdy blinds. I don't understand some of the reviews stating the fell apart out of the box. This one is the second one I ordered because I liked the first one I ordered. We had one heck of a storm last night and they held up fine fully opened. I do tie them off at the bottom to keep them from blowing all over the place on my porch. I replaced the clips with 4 inch bungee cords. The clips are worthless. I tried and tried to get them clipped, even bending them a little, and I could not get them on.

Manual roll up line, outdoors, use
This product works OK. It’s all manual with clips weather. Annoying when you’re trying to roll it up high. Then have done clip it to roll it down. They don’t seem to make the rollup blinds anymore. That’s with the cord. Not sure why. Again, PVC tube, plastic not meant to last forever especially with the wind whipping on it. I use it outdoor patio. It works for about 6-8 months and I have to replace it.

seller responsive to issue
The blind is perfect for what I needed it for. The straps to hold it up were missing, but customer service was prompt and got replacement parts right out.

Good light filtering and helps keep room cooler
Very easy to install and provides decent light filtering. The hollow tubes that make up the shade also seem to work like a bit of insulation and helps reduce the temperature of my room. I love that the hangers on the shade slide a couple inches in either direction so if I didn't place the hanging hooks / hardware perfectly, it would adjust. I like the look and hope these last me many years.

Buen producto
Bonitas y elegantes. Si lo que buscas es privacidad, opta por otra opción, ya que son algo traslúcidas en la noche. En zonas públicas funcionan muy bien, atenúan la luz exterior y dejan circular la ventilación sin problema.

Bon rapport qualité-prix
Une fois installé très facilement, ce store est ajustable à votre hauteur préférée avec son système d'ajustement sans cordes ce qui est bien pratique et simplifie la vue. Ce store opaque le jour est assez ajouré pour que l'on puisse admirer le coucher du soleil sans devoir à lever le store. Je recommande grandement.

not weather or UV resilient for enclosed deck
I've had these for about a year now and they flip flop in the wind constantly, although I suppose any blind would. I tried to hold them down with wire and that ended up breaking and cutting the threads holding the plastic straws together. Because that's exactly what these are made of by the way, plastic straws. they were good for a season but now i wish i'd invested my hundred dollars plus into something more durable.

The comment you want to read before buy it
First of all, this is NOT bamboo.Those things are made with plastic and it looks like straws.The quality is so bad.There is not even rope to put the curtain up. There is only tow metal things that if you want to remove it often my, you’ll end buy breaking the entire curtain.If you want something cheap just to look cute and never touching it, it’s kinda okay.Otherwise it’s so poorly made that I was laughing when I’ve open the package.
