Thanks for taking the time to put this on TH-cam. I don’t have a dad or husband to help so I needed to come and find this how to guide. Much appreciated :-)
@@allyhope195 @Robert Newman Got the house 2 months ago. Been procrastinating all the drilling work. Maybe coz I don't have the drill lol. But I got paintings and shower curtains waiting to hang up.
I just put up a couple of blinds and curtain rods for my mother and did pretty much the same thing. Was my first time doing it before seeing this video. Now, she wants me to install shelves and closet rods in her closets.
I'm pretty sure that I know how to do this without a tutorial, but I'm watching it anyway because I don't ever want to overestimate my ability. Thanks for posting.
This was soooo helpful. By my luck, you bought the exact same curtain rods I did - I couldn't figure out how to mark the spot for the screws with that bracket! Thanks so much for making this!
At first I thought the bracket was a bit large and unnecessary but when you hung two poles on it i thought what great idea, genius. Thanks for the video.

Silly question but for someone doing projects solo how do you hold the string taut and still be able to mark the spots to make sure it’s even. I struggle with this as well as drilling and then find that there is metal on one side and not the other so it’s no longer balanced and even. I also mess up with anchors sometimes. I’m an apartment I can’t afford to keep drilling holes in all the walls to practice, fix, or check to see what’s behind it! Lol
My question is how do you fasten that top screw with that loop in the way? Fastening at an angle means losing the threads, right? If you could show that in your next video. Thanks

The curtain rod brackets you install in the video hold two rods . One for the sheer and one for the curtains. The link to purchase them on Amazon is only for a single rod. Also the curtains appear to be different.
How far past your trim on the the left and right ends of the windows did you go when doing each end bracket? Or did you leave the edge of the bracket flush with the edge of the trim?
Did you use a right angle drill adapter? I have a similar looking bracket, but my drill bit is not long enough to reach the top hole and so I can’t tighten it.
one of my window was higher then other.. This is what happens when you measure from the window frame...(it as 2 windows on one wall..) ...But I learned something from this video, surprisingly - it shows the 3th bracket, which im going to install today. Thank you!
Where did you get the extension on your drill? What's it called. Because I had trouble with screw didn't have enough room. Thank you for the name of the extension
Above any window or doorway there should be a header. The header runs the distance above so you will have something to screw or nail too anywhere across the top. Hope this helps. Have a great day!
I've got similar setup (double brackets and curtain + sheers) a handyman installed for me but the bracket is bending (it wasnt a cheap bracket) im not sure if it's the screws that aren't strong enough and is coming off? Or its the actual bracket that is bending. What do you think?
Could be the curtain might be too thick or heavy for the rod and /or brackets. It could also be that the screws are not grabbing the solid wood header behind the drywall. If this is the case, and the screws are just attached into the drywall, the whole bracket would start pulling away from the wall. Always a good idea to pre-drill a small hole to check for solid wood behind the wall. Otherwise anchors are a definite must for a solid hold on the brackets.
@@alherrera9920 How do we know if it's wood or some other material? I recall some spots being too hard to drill into in the few attempts that I've tried at different living spaces.
Hey Billy, thanks a lot for the video. I got a question, shouldn't we take in consideration the few inches of measurement in both side, so that the curtain would go easily back off the window?

Same here. Feeling good now to start it.

Robert, I hope u got your curtains up. It has been two yrs. How did it turn out?
I just put up a couple of blinds and curtain rods for my mother and did pretty much the same thing. Was my first time doing it before seeing this video. Now, she wants me to install shelves and closet rods in her closets.
😂🤣❤💕
Take care of ur mom
Thank you! I've seen some ridiculous long drawn out videos over this and appreciate how straight to the point this is. Very helpful.
I'm pretty sure that I know how to do this without a tutorial, but I'm watching it anyway because I don't ever want to overestimate my ability. Thanks for posting.
Thank you I’m 58 with Autoimmune Rheumatoid Arthritis and by following these directions I was able too hang my curtains.
U don't look 58 on that picture
Javante Davis thank you I assure you I am and that is a recent picture.
Thanks for this! Normally, I would ask my dad to teach me this stuff, but he lives in a different state. So this is the next best thing!
thanks! i wanted some blackout curtains in my room and we didn't know how to install them, but now i do so thank you!
This is great! From a girl in LA, I appreciate it!!
This was soooo helpful. By my luck, you bought the exact same curtain rods I did - I couldn't figure out how to mark the spot for the screws with that bracket! Thanks so much for making this!
I told myself not to take these back so I’m soooo following this video. I hate asking for help lol
Wish me luck because this one I can follow.
Have struggled in the past lining up my mounting brackets. Never thought to use string! Thanks for the pro tip.
This really helped!! Today my curtains fell down twice!! My mom is always very tired or high so she doesn't want to help!
At first I thought the bracket was a bit large and unnecessary but when you hung two poles on it i thought what great idea, genius. Thanks for the video.
First video I’ve watched and you used a tape measure! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much sir 🙏
I was struggling to installing a windows curtain, now I got a lot of help from your video.
Thank you once again
Thank you so much for the help. It sucks not getting to have my dad home to teach me this stuff
Thank you so much now I know finally how I can set up my curtains❤️
I'm installing some rods now so thanks for this.
You make it look very easy. I am still frightened to do anything to a wall in case I damage it. Come hang some curtain rods for me, please! (LOL)

Thats what brought me here!
Excellent video, straight to the point. Thank u!
Thank you so much because I started all wrong with mine. So very helpful.
am in nairobi i just started this month i normally confuse but this guy help me thank
I've never hit wood with all screws in my life. Still, a fine video. Thank you.
Same here. Even with stud finders, I still can’t find it.
Should have been provided drywall screws.

Maybe tape?
tie one end of the string to a push pin and pin it in the wall.
Where can I rent a man?
Monae Martin jaja 😂
😹
What is your cooking skills like?
Did u find him yet?! Can you send him my way when your done your home projects! Lol.
Ladies we can do 😊🤗
Nice video-- useful and straightforward. Thanks!
This was the best video for installing curtain rods that I found on TH-cam!
Great, just the help I needed. Thanks!
Amazing video, clear instruction and beautiful curtain. Thank you 😊
Thanks bobby, you saved me lots of time.
You make it look so easy.... LOOKs easy....😂
Thank you so much! Same here, something I had to figure it out on my own . I have the same brackets and rods you have too! 😊
My question is how do you fasten that top screw with that loop in the way? Fastening at an angle means losing the threads, right? If you could show that in your next video. Thanks
I had the same question
Loved the "hand me the drill there son"
I would have love to see how you screwed in that top screw on the bracket. That screw in driving me nuts to screw in.
This was excellent. 💯
How does one person do the 'string' trick alone?
I learned a lot while watching this☺
Thank you so much! You helped make this so easy for me☺️
Y'all make it look easy. I need a man. 😲
Work ya booty playlist will help for sure
Do it yourself. I'm a woman and do my own handy work. LOL
Gab rielle so do I 😟
No girl. Just skills 😉
How would i know if there’s would behind the sheetrock? Thanks for the video!
you wont be able to drill through it
source: mine has it lol
Measuring with tape is good, but utilizing an RPC (Rody Precision Corner) tool is even better!
Thanks now what's a good yet inexpensive drill.
SO GOOD!
Quick tip! Bring the hooks all the way to the ceiling it gives the illusion the window is much larger and taller !!!!
How did you hold the string when you pulled it?
Use plastic anchors when only drilling into drywall.

My anchors didn’t go through all the way. Metal is blocking my drill bit from going all the way through. Thoughts?
@@jonathanj6462I'm having the same issue :(
@@subdivisionalmass I ended up using a metal drill bit and metal screws
Thanks that was so informative and helpful.
The curtain rod brackets you install in the video hold two rods . One for the sheer and one for the curtains. The link to purchase them on Amazon is only for a single rod. Also the curtains appear to be different.
How far past your trim on the the left and right ends of the windows did you go when doing each end bracket? Or did you leave the edge of the bracket flush with the edge of the trim?
I still don’t understand how do you string to make sure that the install is level. That was not clear to me in the video.
I like your hat!
Like your hat!
Excellent tutorial...thanks!
What size bit did you use to drill the hole?
I've just got plaster board above my window, do I need to look for studs (??) or just use the anchors?
Thank you! Very helpful
thank you dad
Did you use a right angle drill adapter? I have a similar looking bracket, but my drill bit is not long enough to reach the top hole and so I can’t tighten it.
THIS!! The 3:42 mark is what I came to see but it fades out. I can never get that top screw tight enough!!
@@Ratoots84 same here! My bet is that he did’t end up tightening that top one which is why the video cut out.
OMG you make it look so easy🤣 thank you so very much!
Thank you
I will be doing myself
Instead of waiting on hubby.
Bobby thank you for this video
Very helpful… Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks! I’m going to trying and do this now!
Why does no one show drilling in the top screw?? I’m physically unable to and everyone cuts the video at that part
Thank you.
Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you very helpful
Really good. Thank you very much.
Love it thanks Bobby and son
Thanks alot sir, this video was so helpful
one of my window was higher then other.. This is what happens when you measure from the window frame...(it as 2 windows on one wall..) ...But I learned something from this video, surprisingly - it shows the 3th bracket, which im going to install today. Thank you!
Which drill is the best for this?
Where did you get the extension on your drill? What's it called. Because I had trouble with screw didn't have enough room. Thank you for the name of the extension
How do you screw in the top screw with the bracket’s loop being in the way. My tool can’t fit to screw it in
Nice and simple 😊
Great help
How do you know the string is level
This was so helpful for me! Thank you!
How do You know if there’s wood behind the wall?
Stud finder
Is it possible to buy two of these and join them together to fit a bigger window. I can't find 12 foot long poles!!
Thanks for sharing! How do you know if you have wood behind the wall when you drill?
I want to know too!!!
Do you go to Home Depot?
Very helpful. Thank you!!!
thanks for the video - does the kit comes with 2 rods?
Thank you!! This helped a lot
How do you know if you have if you have wood behind the sheetrock? I’m not sure if I need to use the brackets or not.
Above any window or doorway there should be a header. The header runs the distance above so you will have something to screw or nail too anywhere across the top. Hope this helps. Have a great day!
so you drill into the studs ?
i had done this and its a little hard to tighten the top one without going into an angle.
How do know you have wood when you drill holes?
Thank you!!!!!!
Ur the best
was going to do this but I think that anchor bolts is needed......worried that the weight of the curtain will pull screws out of dry wall
