We had two fabric panels made for each skylight – they have brass loops on each end that are tied with ribbon (so they can come off for drycleaning). We have a horizontal rod at the top and bottom of the skylight (recessed – the rods fit into small round holders that are screwed into drywall) the fabric panels are held in place at the top and bottom of the skylight and can be pushed aside for an open position or the panels can be pulled toward the middle for a closed position. Our sewer thought of putting vertical lightweight rods into a hidden pocket on the inside edge of each panel – it makes pulling the panels open and closed easier – the whole panel moves.
