Shutter Blinds For Em Flat

[sujuan 0]

I live in a maisonette flat. The design is the type that has the squarish balcony just next to the kitchen. I keep my balcony dry. I've been using canvas blind for this. It cost us $500 to install it about 7 years ago.

Just 2 hours ago, the rope of my canvas blind SNAP! I need to quickly do something about it. If I let the blind come all the way down, I will not be able to open it anymore. If I leave it half open, like now, I pray it won't rain until I get a solution.

Has anyone used the electric shutter blind for their balcony. How much doe it cost? How long can it last? Any problems using it? Can give contact of installer?

I'm also open to hear any other solutions to keep my balcony dry.

Thanks!
