I recently went to Home Depot to buy a new back door for my house.

The one I selected is Fiberglass but, just as I was about to complete
the order, I inqired as to how to attach a Venetian blind to it and was
met with a blank look from the salesperson.

Obviously, with a wood or steel door, you can easily use screws to hang
something on it but, with about 1/16" of fiberglass and a foam core, I
have concerns about attaching stuff to it.

I would appreciate it if someone who has run into this could give me a
suggestion?

Thanks.

Lewis.

The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.

Have you ever seen how thin the "metal" is on most doors? I would say
that 1/16" of fiberglass may be stronger.

I had a metal door and used magnets to fasten the blind to the door but kept
falling off. So I decided to Make my own Curtains and I had fastened them
to
the door using Velcro. come a lot of ways I have a box that was 25 feet
long and you cut it to want you wanted.

Hope this will help you out.

I am an blind installer.

I have installed a few blinds on fiberglass doors in the normal fashion. I
have never had a call back on any of the jobs.

YMMV.
