I know it's been a while since you fitted this but can you remember where you bought it from as the only place in my town that sells curtain poles are the wooden type or with the fixings like you removed
For the purpose of overcoming localization effects, are 'wall plugs' what we call 'anchors' in the U.S.? Also, is 'dry lining' or 'plasterboard' the same as what we call 'dry wall'? Good video!
Mainly because it's dot and dab plasterboard, meaning there are no studs. Plus, if there were studs, it would be very unlikely that they'd be in the right place.
I'm confused - I thought you was putting MDF board up, but never saw you attach that to the wall? And as a novice DIYER I'm more confused than ever. You said at first do not use masonry drill bits in plasterboard but then did that, I think??
Do NOT use the metal DRIVA plasterboard fixings....they are rubbish and do NOT work. Avoid at all costs. I'm not sure about the other fixing he used, I have no experience of those.
Great video. Exact same plasterboard situation I'm dealing with so was very useful.
Excellent work good video keep up the good work
Great, thank you
nice job mate could not have done it better.
Great video and clearly explained. However, Was waiting till the end to see how you dealt with those ugly holes
Me too.
Great video. Have you a link to the curtain pole and brackets that were used, please?
Sorry, I bought them too long ago, possibly from dunelm
Thank you! Really clear:)

Correct
We actually call wall plugs "Rawl Plugs" or at least we Boomers do.
New house... plasterboard... thank you!
great video
Hi, could you please provide a link to the pole holder
I believe this curtain pole came from Next
How do you know those wall plugs are not good quality? I think they all look the same.
Wow what best curtains for a flat block 1 bedroom with 3 windows with a small kitchen.
I'd go for blinds in a 1 bed flat..
How come you don't use studs in the walls and go straight into a wood fixing ?

@@JBTV ah ok very sensible. Thanks for reply. I had to use metal cavity anchors due to weight of curtain.

I would have filled the old holes with Polyfilla and sanded them before putting new brackets up.
He more than likely would have but the videos not about that.
@Savannah Glebe maybe but the video is aimed at noobs who might not think of that.
@@lewisner Then if they’re that much of a noob they won’t care or be likely to do it anyway.
@Savannah Glebe thanks for the debate on holes and Polyfilla. I will think it through this evening over a glass of wine or two 🍷 🍷
@@lewisner You do that.
It is not level to the ceiling it is horizontal to the ceiling if the ceiling is not level.
So you drew a line and drilled 4 holes... and it took 30 minutes?
Wheres your video?
He’s slowing the process down so people who don’t know how to do it can.
Good video. But those self drilling fixings are utter garage. I wouldn't go near them personally
I put a wooden batten up first
👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
