-
Your pole will arrive in two pieces. Assemble the poles and brackets on the floor first.
-
Calculate the bracket positions. Bracket C should be in the centre and is where the two poles meet, brackets P are the passing brackets and should be positioned just before the bends and brackets E are the end brackets and should be positioned slightly in from the edge of the window.
-
Mark the bracket positions on the wall, starting with the centre and lining the top hole with the desired installation height.
-
Carefully drill your holes.
-
Screw the brackets in to the holes and tighten.
- Slot the poles into the brackets.
Please note: Your pole will arrive a little longer than needed so you have ultimate flexibility. The pole can be easily cut down with a hack saw by a few cms once the pole is in the desired position.
If you have a 19mm pole, the finial should sit in the bracket - not the pole.
Bracket C can sometimes be a complete circle.
