What Makes Our Outdoor Curtains Stand Out

Built to Last: Tough Materials For Patio

Outdoor curtains face sun, rain, and wind. Ours are made to handle it all.

1. No mold or mildew

   • Polyester and Sunbrella® fabrics dry fast
   • Perfect for humid places like Florida porches
   • Wipe with soapy water to clean

2. Colors stay bright

   • UV-resistant dyes keep curtains from fading
   • Dark colors (navy, black) last 3x longer than light ones

Check this feature if:

• Your area gets heavy rain
• Curtains stay up all year

B. Smart Design for Real Life

1. Weighted hems stop flapping

• Small chains sewn into curtain bottoms
• Keeps curtains still in wind
• No more "snapping" sounds on breezy days

2. Three hanging choices:

Tip: Use grommets for pergolas. They slide easily when you want shade or sun.

C. Made Just for Your Space

1. Any size, any shape

• Tell us your measurements (we add 1" for shrinkage)
• We make curtains for:
  • Wide pavilions
  • Small balcony rails
  • Round gazebos

2. Fullness matters

• What is fullness? Extra fabric for a gathered look
• How much to get:

Example: For a 100" rod, order 150-200" of curtain width

Why custom beats ready-made:

• No gaps where sun peeks through
• Curtains don't look "too small" for big spaces
• Get exact color to match your garden furniture

1. Measure rod length (A to B)
2. Decide how long you want curtains (floor-length or shorter?)
3. Email us at help@dolcewe.com – we’ll check your numbers!

Popular Custom Orders:

Make Your Space Beautiful: Design Ideas

A. Pick Colors That Work Hard

Choose colors based on your goals:

Real examples:

1. Florida patio: Navy curtains match ocean views
2. City balcony: Grey curtains hide street dirt
3. Garden gazebo: Mustard yellow adds sunshine on cloudy days

Pro Tip: Light colors reflect heat. Dark colors hide stains better.

B. Layer Curtains Like a Pro

Why layer?

• Adjust light: Sheer for day, blackout for night
• Add privacy without blocking breeze
• Change look for seasons/events

How to do it:

1. Hang blackout curtains closest to your house
2. Add sheer curtains in front
3. Use clip rings to move layers separately

Example setup:

Try this: Use white sheers and navy blackouts for a nautical theme.

C. Hidden Hanging Tricks

1. Floating rods

• Metal pipes painted to match walls
• Makes curtains look like they’re floating
• Best for modern pergolas

2. Electrical conduits

• Cheap metal tubes from hardware stores
• Cut to size with hacksaw
• Spray paint matte black for sleek look

3. Tension wires

• Wire between two walls/posts
• Curtains clip on with rings
• No drilling needed

Compare hardware:

Quick Tip: Add fairy lights above curtains for magical evenings!

Remember:

• Neutral colors = Less stress about matching furniture
• Layering = One setup for all weather
• Good hardware = Curtains stay up 5x longer

Smart Choices for Long-Lasting Curtains

A. Measure Right the First Time

Follow these steps for perfect fit:

1. Width measurement

   • Measure rod/pole from end to end
   • Add 1" extra for shrinkage
   • Example: 100" rod → order 101" curtain with 1.5 or 2 times of fullness

2. Length measurement

   • Decide where curtain should end (floor? 2" above?)
   • Add 1" if using heat-sealed seams

Watch out for:

• Beams sticking out
• Light fixtures
• Railings

Example problem solved:
Our pergola has a light in the middle!
→ Measure from beam to light (48") and light to beam (48")
→ Order two 49" wide curtains instead of one 96"

B. Install Like a Pro

1. Keep freestanding posts secure

• For soil: Use 50 lb concrete bags at base
• For decks: Sandbags (20 lb each) on post feet
• No-drill trick: Fill PVC pipes with sand as weights

2. Waterproof seams matter

• Heat-sealed vs stitched:

Checklist during installation:
