DIY Outdoor Gazebo Curtains

I found an inexpensive solution to our outdoor curtain needs for our 10x10 gazebo that is similar to this one.

Our deck can get very hot in the summer.  

The angle of the sun makes it hard to sit under the canopy many times.

We needed curtains that could be drawn across to block the sun or be tied back for a cozy feel. 

Gazebo curtains are quite expensive and if your gazebo wasn't fitted with curtain rods, it makes hanging curtains very difficult.

After searching around for a while I settled on a set of curtains from Ikea. 

They are light weight, cotton, and best of all inexpensive. 

The curtains come in a pack of 2 panels and for this project I needed 2 packages. 

I am not going all the way around my gazebo because 2 sides of mine are against my house.

These are the Ikea curtains I used but I would not hesitate to use any kind of light, white cotton curtains. 

This is a solution that should be taken down at the end of the season and washed. 

The top of these curtains not only have a rod pocket, it has straps on the back you can thread the rod through. 

I used these straps to hang the curtains.

They worked perfectly holding each ring onto the bar.

The shower curtain rings can be clipped or unclipped as necessary to move the curtain along the rod.

The curtains look beautiful tied around the corners of the canopy and can be moved across to block the sun or protection from a light rain.

This is an easy and inexpensive solution that looks great! Check out another look we used for the DIY curtains  another year.
