Curtain Rod Installation Instructions

1. Assemble the Curtain Rod

• Start by threading the curtain rod pieces together.

• They should connect smoothly. If they don’t, they may not be properly aligned—double-check and realign as needed.

• Make sure the pieces on each end of the rod are the ones with the head mounts (these have small holes near the ends).

2. Determine the Rod Length

• Hold the assembled rod up to your window to decide on the ideal width.

• We recommend going as wide and as high as possible for the best look and coverage.

3. Position the Curtains

• Slide your curtains onto the rod.

• Hold the rod with curtains up to the window to visualize where the brackets should go.

4. Mark Bracket Placement

• Once you’ve chosen a general height and width, mark one bracket hole on the wall with a pencil.

• You can either screw directly into the wall or drill a pilot hole first, about the size of the screw.

5. Center the Rod

• Measure from the first bracket hole to the center of the window and note the length.

• Use this same length from the center to the opposite side to mark the second bracket hole, ensuring the rod will be centered.

6. Ensure the Brackets Are Level

• Check that both bracket holes are level using a level tool or by eye.

• If needed, adjust one of the marks to match the other.

7. Install the Brackets

• Disassemble the brackets (this makes them easier to screw in).

• Screw the brackets into the marked spots.

• Once the top screw is in and level on both sides, drill and install the lower screw for each bracket.

8. Final Bracket Adjustments

• Reassemble the brackets on the wall.

• Adjust the bracket's distance from the wall as needed.

• Unscrew the thumbscrew (the small screw on the side) by hand to prepare for inserting the rod.

9. Hang the Curtains

• With the thumbscrews loosened, place the curtain rod into the brackets.

• If it’s hard to reach, lift one side at a time and rest the other end gently on the floor.

10. Secure the Rod

• Once the rod is in place, tighten the thumbscrews by hand to secure the rod.
