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.

Mine is about 52" and it could still be shortened. It looks like 48" would be about the minimum. You could probably cut it with a pipe cutter if you need it any smaller.

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

I would contact them directly with that question. I have not needed to try cutting it. The one I bought is 60". The Grizzley people I spoke to were very helpful.

Yes, it's a man made rubber-ish material. It won't fray if you cut it. Would help if you have a sharp exacto knife.

It does fray. I've since ripped the fabric off and now just use the pad by itself.

Yes, I imagine you could cut it, but you'd lose the binding at the edge you cut. It looks very nice and finished the way it comes, and I'm not sure if it would fray without that. I wonder if it might work to fold that last 10 feet back underneath the end instead?

Yes. There is no finished edge, it's kind of rubbery, seems to be cut from a larger sheet so I don't think the edges would fray if that is the concern. You would have a smaller surface area so it would probably dry and warm up faster.

You can't prevent fraying of the ends. At least I did not have success. It is on of the big downers I experienced. Once the ends are frayed, then the end clips and the pull stops are impossible to use.

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.

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

I'm not sure. I haven't done any trimming after the effect, but it does do a nice job of sealing so I would think you could trim within a quarter if am inch our so.

Maybe not. I've had it for 3 months and used it occasionally on a matted floor indoors and it's already frayed.

You could do that with no problems. You would probably want to burn/melt the end you cut to keep it from fraying which isn't a big deal.

with the covering on both sides,plus the fiber material inside,its about 3/4 thick. You could cut it with something,but the real issue would be in hemming the cut end.

14' 5" to 16' to look proper. 15' is optimal. 14 feet would be a little too short.

You can easily trim off less then 1/4 inch. Probably as little as 1/16 inch.
