The Ikea Sandvedel Roller Blind was very easy to install. It was also a very quick roller blind to mount. I did not need too much things to hang the Ikea blinds. And I think it’s more worth it to do a DIY roller blind rather than paying someone else to do it. The Ikea Sandvedel Roller Blinds will really save you time and money.

You're doing great young man! Keep up the good work and just don't stop producing content.

[@gabeslifestuff]

Thanks for the encouragement! Really appreciate it

[@gabeslifestuff]

No worries. Hope it works out

Hello Gabriel and many thanks for sharing the experience. 🙏🏼😁
I am almost sold on these blinds and IKEA has you to thank.
Sadly, the “Socialist” vibe I once associated with IKEA is gone.
Sweden 🇸🇪 succumbed to dogmatic libertarian privatisation to the point of fascism where the economy is privately centralised.
Despite global fascism, the blinds remain affordable. 😂

[@gabeslifestuff]

That kinds spiralled very quickly.. 😂
But… thanks? Hahahaha

Hi, I just wanted to know what’s the size of the screws? The mlm?

[@gabeslifestuff]

@@alicevieira4348 oh. I didn’t really look into that. Sorry

[@mehmetkadiralici]

Hi Gabe. Thanks for the video. What's that plastic that sticks out on the left side.? Why do we need it?

[@gabeslifestuff]

It helps make sure that there’s enough space between the blind itself and the ends, so that the blind will roll. Hope that makes sense.

[@qualle3519]

Hey, I just want to say it's not defective. Please take a look at the manual (online). You can pull it back out, roll it up a little bit, and then put it back in to the position where it should roll up. (sry for my bad english)

[@gabeslifestuff]

Ahh yes. Thanks for pointing that out! That really does fix it.

[@shahnilakhan900]

Thank u for the video .. but that stick which u said don’t throw, what is it .. what is the use of that stick in installation of blind.??

[@gabeslifestuff]

That’s basically a guide that will show you where to screw on the ends

[@shahnilakhan900]

@@gabeslifestuff thank u so much … u mean that blind will be install according to the that stick ends.

[@nathaly.salamanca]

I want to know how disarm it ,i want to put in other windows

[@gabeslifestuff]

@@nathaly.salamanca you mean remove it? I think you just have to remove the screws that’s attaching it to the frame. Hope this helps

Great video! I wanted to ask, is the fabric see-through at nighttime?

[@gabeslifestuff]

Thanks! Yeah. It’s see through at nighttime. So you’ll be visible from the outside during the night

[@WonderfulPresent]

@@gabeslifestuff, great video! I was hoping for a nighttime view, like you did the daytime split-screen (which was super helpful!!)

[@gabeslifestuff]

Hi@@WonderfulPresent! Thanks for the appreciation! Yeah. Unfortunately I forgot that part. But it’s like any other blind at night. You can be seen if you have the light on.

[@RedErin]

There is a new one that is blackout and can’t see through at all, the Fonsterblad. Exactly the same blind otherwise.

[@gabeslifestuff]

@@RedErin ooh! Thanks for the info. Will definitely look at that one

[@utubechankawai]

Thanks for the video.
I want to buy this roller blind but I read the total height of the blind is 195cm. But the place is I want to cover is much shorter. Is it not necesary to pull it all down to make it retract ? I got a question probably a silly one, cause I never have a roller blind before. Just want a confirmation before buying online 🙏

[@gabeslifestuff]

Hi Gary. That’s actually a very good question… and yes. You have to pull it down all the way to retract.

[@utubechankawai]

@@gabeslifestuff Hmm 🤔 but in the first 10 seconds of video, seems the blind you pulled to retract is around 100 cm long. And the full length of this blind is 195cm. So I don't need to pull it to full length 195cm to make it retract ? Perhaps, I didn't express my thought clearly 🙏
Thanks for replying and helping ! Thanks Gabe !

[@naveenapatnaik9795]

Can outside people see inside at night when light is on

[@gabeslifestuff]

Yeah. They can

[@Alawzai24]

Mine is not rolling back up how do i just it

[@gabeslifestuff]

Hmmm? It’s possible that it might just be coiling back towards one of the ends of the roller. If this is the case, just pull it back down and sort of “guide” it back up so that it coils back straight, if that makes sense. Hope this helps

[@Alawzai24]
