A little bit to the east of Playa Encuentro on the south side of the road, there is a Dominican who makes custom bamboo blinds.

Ok, I am looking at some options for a semi-open pergola top/sunshade. Would only need a bunch of straight stems when choosing this option.

I looked at the locally made blinds, but they are all crooked, different size stems and not nice enough for a house. I bought mine from Amazon.

Plenty of locally made bamboo blinds seen all around town in Cabarete. The trunks are used for furniture and the branches for the blinds. These are mainly intended for outdoor use on patios and store fronts to block out the sun.

Here's the ones I got from the Dominican in Cabarete. 1800 pesos. The ones on Amazon are nicer but cost more,too, and the shipping cost is pretty high. I used to be able to find those here for many years but now they're nowhere to be found. These have the advantage of custom sizing, too:
