These shades can make a really dramatic difference when it's cold.
Be patriotic and vote everyone!
I give this 5 stars!!!
I was worried about the weight of these folds and I remember reading that you "can" do without these battens, but you may be sadly disappointed in the sag of your shade pleats without them.The battens will help keep your fold lines clean and neat. As it is, the shade is heavy and falls easily.
Appreciate the 5 Stars, never got many of those before ! ( except from close relatives )
The bottom could use a batten. A small adjustment is needed at the corners when lowered. Rather than more cutting and sewing, I was just going to hot glue an aluminum screen frame-piece along it. It's doing really good though.
I love this idea!
5 stars!!!!!!!!!

Also, my Instructables Irfanview, a great media helper. Part 1
How to install, set up and change BMPs to JPEGs.
I've been using Irfanview for years and it constantly amazes me.
It's free and it's simple but it can be complicated too.
It deadens the sound of the train blowing it's whistle late at night too.

Couldn't you use small diameter dowels instead of the 1X1 1/2 pcs of wood? Dowels are usually very light.
These stakes are thin metal and hollow. They're plastic coated and last several seasons. They're about $1.50 apiece for a 48 inch stake. They probably weigh less than a comparable wooden dowel. The nice thing is..if needs be, you can cut away the plastic and thus cut down on its size and weight. I remember seeing them when they had gotten old and the plastic was coming off.
