 How
to Install a Curtain Rod:
· It is usually best to put the mounts close to the ends
of the Curtain rod, so that you have as much space as possible between
the mounts to stack your curtains. If your curtain rod is 120”
long, you might center your mounts at 119” to utilize the
entire length of the curtain rod.
· Hold one curtain rod mount up and make sure it is high
enough so that the curtains will cover the top of the window. Higher
than the top of the window by a few inches may look better, and
block out more light. Using a pencil, mark the location of the bottom
screw hole and set the curtain rod mount down while you pre-drill
a hole into the wall just deep enough to make it easy to drive the
screw nice and straight.
· Holding the curtain rod mount in one hand, and the screw
gun in the other, drive the bottom screw into the wall. Level the
curtain rod mount, and drive in the top screw.
· Put the finials on the curtain rod, go to the other end
of the curtain rod, lay a level on top of the curtain rod, hold
the curtain rod and the curtain rod mount together and raise them
up so the curtain rod is level, and the other end is sitting in
the curtain rod mount that you have previously installed.
· Repeat step 3
· Remove one finial, slide the rings onto the curtain rod,
drop the curtain rod into place, and slide the curtain pins with
curtains attached into the ring eyelets.
· Remove one finial, slide the rings onto the curtain rod,
drop the curtain rod into place, and slide the drapery pins with
draperies attached into the ring eyelets.
