We used Dynabolts, but the flush fitting ones, but we attached timer to the wall first, then the tracks to the timber, so we could use screws with smaller heads so the bar doesn't catch too much on them. Yes we retract the blinds in heavy winds, but its the smaller winds that caused the problem (hopefully the newly tensioned springs will minimise the flapping). However the cloth will still fray even with this. We purchased a product called "fray away" from spotlight, and applied this to the edge, it dries clear and provides some protection to the fraying.

Re: Outdoor blinds - Ozrite Blinds Brisbane 6Jul 09, 2012 10:53 am The screws we ended up with have like an hexagonal head on them and the witdh of the head is nearly 5 mm, so no wonder the blind is catching. I will hunt for something with a smaller head, there has got to be a solution without taking the whole thing off, which hubby will not do. Thanks for the tip "fray away". will look at getting this product.
