Thanks you two, great video, it was a complete tutorial for hanging my own curtain rod. I ran into some wood, I would suggest drilling a 1/8 hole first to see if the dry wall is hollow or has wood behind it so you don't creat a large anchor hole for nothing. Thanks for posting, Cute couple!

This is the best tip I've come across for hanging curtains! All those Lynette Jennings and Martha Stewart shows I used to watch and this never occurred to me!! This is the first time I hung curtains PERFECTLY level and no extra holes in the wall! I'm so happy! Definitely worth taking the extra time to construct a template.

@christinesforza86003 жыл бұрын
Good Job! I have never wanted to use anchors. Consequently, I have pilot holes all over my walls where I used a stud finder to find studs that, of course, are never equal distances from the window frame. So frustrating. I have hated hanging curtains always. I will give the anchors a try even though my curtains are heavy. Any suggestions for the type of anchor to use with heavy curtains? Thank you for a great video.

Toggle bolts if you're doing professional work for someone else, they'll last a lifetime. However, in your property, you can get away with the plastic anchors.

Hi thanks for your video, Is this a Ryobi 18V drill. I borrowed this one from my mum but she hasn't used it. I need to put curtain rods up, but I have a very hard piece of wood I need to drill into, i think it might be Jarrah. Is this drill strong enough to drill into it. I tried to drill into it, but it didn't go through the wood. Maybe I didn't put it on the right setting or use the correct drill bit, do you have any advice, I am new to using a drill. Maybe I need a stronger drill. Not sure yet. Thanks 😊
@younghouselove3 жыл бұрын
Yes, this is the Ryobi drill you mentioned. We've found it to be strong enough for most jobs, except for instances where a hammer drill (like for masonry) is needed or when stirring batches of tile thinset. Then we use a corded drill.

We were using screws and anchors that came with the curtains, but you can also find sets that are sold together for a perfect match.

Nope! Your curtain rod should come with anchors that you can use to hang right into drywall. That will give you the flexibility to put the rod wherever you want.
