    Thanks for your interest. Making these is akin to doing a french braid on yourself. You have to feel your way through it because it looks like a mess while your moving the fabric weave in and out. Then, the pole has to be threaded through the tabs. It comes together only after you've dressed all the shirring. If a designer hasn't provided us with the decorative pole, we send the treatment on a cardboard tube. You can only imagine trying to explain to the installer how to carefully move it from the tube to the pole. A few times, we've had installers run back to us at the time of install with a huge "HELP ME WITH THIS MESS". Let me tell you, they never let it happen again.

    Are you looking for instruction on these? There isn't anything written. If you'd like to contact me, I can certainly try to talk you through it. See my houzz and contact info for phone numbers and email. Thanks again for your interest.

    Do you have a website that shows a full length picture of this treatment? Also, how can my designer contact you?

    Good Morning. Yes, I do have a photo of another set of these panels. It's not the best shot so I would prefer to not post it here. Can you call me and I'll send it to your email directly. My phone is 631.842.6226. Additional contact information is under my public profile. Look forward to speaking with you. Gina
