Having considered both blinds and curtains for our conversion I opted for blinds due to their look and ease of use, however at over £1000 for 5 which we needed, we opted to make our own using Ikea hoppvals blackout blinds.
Using cardboard as a template to get the right size and shape, which was then transferred onto 3mm plywood, we formed a frame which we then carpeted.
Fixing the blind to the frame we used pop rivets and stainless self tapping screws to fix the completed blind to the van.
In all it took about 2 days in total to construct 5 blinds, however we are pleased with the final results and feel the time and effort was well worth it.
Thanks for watching.
