        Definitely not the cats. Gotta have curtains long-enough to tuck-under them so they can enjoy the couch-cushions and the view, particularly if I want the curtains to also do their duty stopping glare on the TV in the far-corner.

      It was a race between my cat chewing the cords holding my horizontal blinds together vs the vertical blinds just deciding to self destruct. I’ve had wet toilet paper that tore less easily then the vertical blinds I have.

        Never understood the vertical blinds made of fabric or other flimsy materials. The kind I grew up with, the kind I miss, were thick plastic or vinyl. You could paint them

            Unless the stems are breaking, that’s what repair-tabs are for. That said, I can’t believe that’s still the only way the slats are being hung.

            Oh wait, I found a thing. I was thinking some sort of clamp would be best, and that’s basically what these are.

            Somehow, I doubt it keeps them from being pulled-down again, but at least you should be able to just put them back up again and again this way.
