If you have motorized shades outside your birdcage how did you handle this situation?

I would go with T&D, if your tension wires are like ours, these are anchored with screws perpendicular to the metal end of the tension wire, it would be impossible to duplicate this type of connection inside the birdcage. My question is why not just mount the shades inside the birdcage. If you are concerned with the shades blowing around, ask the installer about the use of guide wires.
