Louvre Roof System

[Eamonn]

I'm looking for the mechanism/hardware for a Louvre Roof System. I want one that retracts but also rotates each blind "blade".

For now, just getting a look at market mechanisms... just to see how the work properly. I have an idea but always better to build off established knowledge.

If one with both functions doesn't exists, separate functioning blinds will do for now.

I hop someone can point me in the right direction.

Image attached... but mine will have a slope to one side.

I'll follow along if you don't mind. I have never seen such an animal here much less a kit or parts to do your own.

Well dog gone there are lots. I have to get out more. They aren't all that expensive either. A search for them and slipping parts into the search yielded a number like these two.

Fairly simple thing to make yourself I would have thought, presumably you don’t need it motorised with a remote lol.

Can't speak for Eamonn but I don't think it would be so easy. We regularly have 100kph winds several times during the year and if it isn't designed and built properly it will be scattered across the prairie....probably towards the house first. Assembling a well designed kit wouldn't be much a challenge.

Haha, must say I hadn’t thought about wind! Perhaps pull the cord to close it all up when you’ve finished with it.

Google changed since I was at college and I can't find anything anymore. Thanks.

Yeah, it would need to be heavy duty but I am also thinking of storm/bad weather over blind/shutter that can be pulled over/down the blade section.
