1 - 25 of 86 ads for "retractable awnings" within Home & GardenShow All ItemsI had produced an Instructable recently on making a PVC Toddler Bed Guard; however there were some concerns over home-made kid safety items and teaching others’ to make it, so, out of empathy, I took it down (it's now back up, check the link below). I did have a lot of great information in that Instructable that people asked me about in relation to methods of cutting, joining PVC and some great PVC resources. NOTE:  The PVC Toddler Bed Guard has returned to Instructables in all of its glory.  Check it out here. There have been some other Instructables out there that have identified some basics, such as cutting and painting PVC, but I thought it best that I try to aggregate some of the ideas into one big, ultimate Instructable:  PVC 101. I work as a Design Engineer for an architecture/product design firm and I use PVC repeatedly to create prototypes and mock-ups, some of them even to ¼” scale, so one could say that I have a lot of practice with PVC. 

And since PVC is the ultimate make-anything-toy-set for adults, I only thought it wise to share my experience and knowledge of it on Instructables.It’s easy to obtain, cheap, easy to manipulate and you just push it together (and cement if you like) and presto.  You can pretty much make anything you can think of by just using some fittings and pipe, and I’ll augment that basic idea along with some tips, and other information for PVC in this Instructable. There are tons of PVC-based step-by-steps available out on Instructables. Search for one and I bet there is something you will want to make.  Last I checked, there were over 1140 Instructables involving PVC. So if you are new to PVC, or if you are a constant user like me, please peruse.  If you have other tips that I have not mentioned in this Instructable, please feel free to add your comments, as I’m always looking for more ideas.

Australian Steel Institute Convention 2015 At this year’s Australian Steel Institute (ASI) Convention Rondo was awarded a High Commendation for "Industry Best Practice of Environmental Man Blind and curtain cord safety ConsumerBlind and curtain cords or chains are a significant risk to children, as unsecured cords can lead to strangulation. There are simple steps you can take when installing blinds or curtains and preparing a child's sleep area to make sure it's safe from these hazards. Choose blinds and curtains with safe design features that: have warning labels to remind you of dangers to children,

provide a way to secure cords/chains so there are no loops or strands that children can reach, or operate without exposed cords/chains. Product Safety Australia has produced an installation guide to explain how either a cleat or a cord guide can be installed to keep loose cords secure. Curtain and blind cord ties, by Product Safety Australia When installing new blinds and curtains, make sure you or the installer secures any loose or looped cords—do not leave them hanging down. If possible, get rid of looped cords by cutting the cord and installing tassels. Some blinds can’t operate properly without looped cords. To keep them out of children’s reach you should secure these cords with either: tie-downs (cleats) 1600mm above the ground, or tension devices that secure cords and chain loops, which cannot form a loop of more than 220mm. You can get tie-downs and tension devices from hardware or window furnishing stores. Always fix tie-downs and tension devices firmly to the wall or window-frame so a child is not able to remove it. 

Never use materials that can’t support a load, such as double-sided tape or glue. Go through every room in your home and check for any blinds or curtains with long cords that are either loose or looped. Remember, this includes any cords within children’s reach at floor level or near furniture they can climb on. Do not put children’s cots, beds, highchairs or playpens near a window where children can reach the blind or curtain cords. The cords can get around children’s necks and strangle them while they are playing or sleeping. Do not place sofas, chairs, tables, shelves or bookcases near windows with corded blinds or curtains. Young children often like to climb onto furniture to look out the window. If they can reach the cords, they may quickly become entangled in them, lose their footing and suffer strangulation or serious injuries. Make sure blind and curtain cords are not hanging anywhere within children’s reach. Loose cords can easily wrap around and strangle children who are jumping, playing or climbing nearby.
