Easy-Peasy Steps For Do It Yourself Plantation Shutter Project There are many Do It Yourself vlogs that allow the ordinary person to perform certain tasks that once looked impossible to perform at home. Also, these tasks probably broke the bank of many. One such task is making up a stylish window covering for the house. One window covering that is gaining all hype these days is “Plantation shutters.” Plantation shutters are entirely made up of wood and also add on to the aesthetics of the house. We are sure you will receive compliments from the guests after installing the ​Plantation Shutters Melbourne​ at home. If you are an expert DIYer, making a frame filled with louvres is quite an easy task. They are functional and versatile product best suitable for controlling the amount of light entering the house. If you want to make a shutter all by yourself, precisely take accurate measurements of the windows/doors you wish to cover shutters with. After doing that, consider the following points:

  2. ● How will the shutters mount on the window? ● What will be the louvre size of the shutters? ● Do you want a fixed or movable louvre? ● What would be the location of the tilt rod? Would it be in the middle or on the sides of the louvres? Tools you will need to make the plantation shutter? ● Table saw; ● Drill press; ● Table router; ● Drill; ● Screwdriver; ● Regular tools for measuring and marking. Make the frame for the shutters using sturdy and well-seasoned hardwood. The next steps for making the frame are:

  3. ● Using the table saw, start cutting both the stiles and rails of the shutters; ● The left-over part should be saved for making slats; ● Keep the thickness of the rails and stiles as per the desire; ● You can also try making the variations in the rails and stiles by making them rounded or as per the need; ● Make sure that the movement of louvres looks perfect when closed i.e., front side on the top and backside at the bottom. If it is not in the same manner, make necessary changes. ● Using a spacer, mark the holes where you will have to drill for the louvres; ● Use a drill press and carefully drill the holes into the slits. Making the louver slats for the shutters: This part of designing the shutters combines the functionality and the form. The louvres should have a wing-like appearance. For doing it yourself, ● Cut down the slats to the desired thickness; ● Using a table router, add a rounded edge to all the slats; ● The desired length should be set on the slats using a box jig cut; ● If you are planning to have a colourful slat, at this stage, you should paint your rails, stiles, and louvres. For assembling, you need to pay attention to the minute details involved with the screw part to the hinges to the slides. It would be better that before taking the project in the hands, you better do pros-cons analysis from the starting. The pros of making the window covering yourself are: ● Since it is a completely customized project, you can fully control the louvre size and other minute details. ● You have the freedom to choose the type of wood you want. ● You can take pride and say, you have made it.

  4. ● Once you are successful, you can also make some money by selling it.
