The best solution is to build a box which contains some electric and mechanical stuff. Indeed we decide to put spot lights and motorized curtains. Yeah, that will really look good :-) So we buy wood, screws, tissus and all the needed things at the DIY shop. You must not be afraid of the sewing machine, it is not so complicated ;-) For the motorization, I use an old "tourne-broche" (a motor used to turn the roasts). It has a lot of strength but make a loud noise. A small cord moves in the curtain rod and open or close the curtains. See the pictures for more details.
The curtain rod with the small cord in it.
The motor and pulley used to move the cord.
Noisy but so essential...
The box from side to side.
Now we need a screen to watch our movies (we also need a projector, look at the technical section)...
