Based on the provided reference, installing outside mount roller shades generally involves the following steps:
-
Install the brackets: First, you'll need to install the mounting brackets according to the manufacturer's instructions. Outside mount shades are installed on the wall or frame surrounding the window, not inside the window frame itself.
-
Attach the shade: Typically, you connect the side of the shade with the retractable pin into one bracket first.
-
Secure the other side: Next, connect the other side of the shade into the other bracket. This might involve compressing the retractable pin to fit it into the bracket.
It's important to always refer to the specific instructions included with your window shades, as installation methods can vary slightly depending on the brand and style.
