Chain-free SmartBlock™ blackout blinds can be operated without a pole, provided you can comfortably reach the top and bottom of the window to raise and lower the blind by hand
For higher or harder-to-reach windows, an optional control pole can be added to make operation easier. A 915mm pole is available, or you can choose a longer 1500mm pole if needed. Poles are $30 each
The pole connects to the handle already fitted to the blind, so it is simply there as an optional aid where extra reach is helpful. If you would like a pole, just email that when placing your order and let us know the quantity needed
If you are choosing the chain-free option, it is best suited to windows where the blind can still be operated comfortably, or where adding a pole will make day-to-day use practical. If you have extra budget, motorising these is also worth considering
