Assemble the Blind
Blinds with No Bottom Rail
Hexagon, Octagon, Circle, and Oval
Arrange the Uprights
Each upright is marked with a label: A, B, C, etc. Start on the left side
with “A” and arrange the uprights as labeled.
• Stand the uprights on their back edge so that the slots are face up,
with the slots angled the same on all uprights.
• Arrange the uprights so that they approximate the shape of the
blind, with the slots aligned horizontally.
• The distance between uprights should be approximately equal.
Install the Slats
• Slats are stacked in the order of assembly.
• Start at the bottom slot of the uprights and insert the first slat.
• Work your way up to the top until all slots are filled.

top of the bottom rail, near the front edge.
Arrange the Uprights
• Each upright is marked with a label that matches the label on the

and then into the uprights.
Double check that the slots in all the uprights are facing up.
Important: Do not overtighten the screws.

Optional Additional Slat Instllation
Arch, Quarter Arch, Angle, and Triangle
An additional slat labeled “extra” is included with your order. This
slat is the same length as the bottom rail. It is designed to help
eliminate the light gap at the bottom of the specialty shape.
If you choose to install this extra slat:
• Use the Velcro provided to attach the slat to the rear side of the
bottom rail, with the slat upright as shown in the illustrations.
• Be sure the slat is installed on the rear side of the bottom rail so
that it faces the window when the blind is installed.
2Install the Blind
Snap Buttons
• Snap buttons are installed onto the top of the uprights.
• On blinds with no bottom rail, snap buttons are installed onto the
bottom of the uprights, as well.
• On outside mounted blinds with a bottom rail, snap buttons are
also installed onto the ends of the rail.
The following chart shows onto which uprights you will need to
install snap buttons. The black boxes indicate snap button locations.

opening and mark the location of all snap buttons on the wall or
molding.

approximately 1/4" behind where you marked the front edge
location of the snap buttons.

A NOTE ABOUT WOOD PRODUCTS
Our wood blinds are true wood products, made from 100% hardwood.
There will be variations in color, grain, texture, and warpage that are
characteristic of all woods. These variations will be especially visible
in blinds with light color stains. The variations are normal and natural,
and are considered acceptable quality.
Care and Cleaning
Like any wood furnishings, Country Woods blinds should be cleaned
on a routine basis to keep them looking new.
• Dust regularly. Use a soft clean cloth, chemically-treated dust
cloth or dusting mitt.
• Blinds may also be vacuumed using a brush attachment.
• Another way to clean blinds is simply by wiping them with a soft,
damp cloth.
• Stained blinds, like wood furniture, should be treated periodically
with lemon oil or other wood preservative to protect their finish
and enhance their luster.
Important: Hunter Douglas does not recommend ultrasonic cleaning
of wood blinds.
Install the Blind
• Align the snap buttons on the uprights (and bottom rail, if
applicable) with the front of the mounting brackets.
• Insert the snap buttons into the mounting brackets until they
“snap” in place.
Attach the Mounting Brackets (Outside Mounts)
• Orientation of the mounting brackets depends on whether the
snap button is at the top or bottom of the upright, or the left or
right end of the bottom rail (see illustration).
• Position the brackets on your marks so that the circular opening
at the front of the brackets will fit onto the snap buttons.
• Mark where to drill pilot holes for the #6 x 11/4" mounting screws.
• Drill 1/8" pilot holes and attach the brackets with the screws.
