Can you trim this down to smaller than 15 feet, or will it start to fray?

I had no problems with fraying when I trimmed mine. I hung it inside our skylights- if they are outside, the wind may produce more wear.

I have cut the material and gave some thought to fraying before making the cut also. I had an old iron that I had warmed(not hot or you'll melt the fabric) standing by. After making the cut, I ran the warm iron over the cut line to soften the cut area and fuse any frayed ends together. You can also create a hem at your cutline-folding the cutline and frayed ends under. I used a hot glue gun(low setting not high) to bond the hem closed. Heat is your friend-just don't get carried away or you'll melt things rather than soften and join. If you are going to have some extra, just cut off a small piece and experiment.

I have cut mine to the length I need and I have not had any fraying. We use it to too our pergola and actually take it down for winter and put it back up the next year. The first time I used it it lasted 3 years before it needed replacing and we live in a very windy area.

Donna, I have trimmed this fabric and it does not fray. Just to be sure, you should consider folding over the cut area or using an anti frayliquid available at a fabric/sewing store.

We cut it to fit our windows, it did not fray altho I did sew a once turn over hem just to be on safe side. Worked great to shade the windows on our camper and you can see thru it from the inside out to some degree. Way better than keeping shades pulled all the time.

No you cannot trim this, it is thick hard plastic but if it is only a small amount that is not square, just use added silicone to fill the gaps, that should work, they give you a lot of it. The curve is slight, I don't have measuring tape but would say between 1/2" to 1". I hope this helps.

Dont wory, dont Know the exact length but it's long enough......you will need to cut it.

I believe it would be a little long. I don't think you could trim it enough to fit properly. Hope this helps

I ordered the 16 and cut it down about 1" It doesn't ravel or come apart it is sewn very well. Sturdy.

I didn't have to shorten it, but the directions from the manufacturer says it can be cut. I would think an electric saw would work.

The length & width are wide enough where you can fasten the ends under the table top. The fraying is very minimal, less than 1/4-1/8" from last sewn portion.

Hello. It probably could be cut down if you are willing to resew up the seams. Good luck!

Hi anne i'm not sure if you can cut it that' s why i prefer to go smaller than bigger i think that maybe if you cut the ends it could loose a bit of shape i hope i help you any doubts ask me .

The edges of the carpets are finished at to avoid fraying, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you then finish the edges. Otherwise it will fray.

I suppose it can be done, it's not too awfully thick. The integrity of the matt would not change at all is you had to make it smaller.

Yup its very easy to cut. There should be a grommet at a around 40 feet. So no problem.

No, not in my opinion. this item is made of hard plastic - if you tried to trim it it would undoubtedly crack - which would ruin the integrity of the item.

Sorry - the parts that hang down are hollow so triming them would not work. - but still a great product if you have a place to use them.

Cable is 15 ft. You cannot trim because it changes the radio wave length. Which will put radio out of tune and burn up the radio.

i have not cut mine - the fabric looks like it would fray - there's something called 'Dritz Fray Check' which stops fabric fraying - that might work along the edge

I just emailed the company about shortening the length and was told that I can tie a knot at the ends. Each knot will shorten it by a foot and it will not damage the hammock.
