Bay window curtain pole - (Dunelm Ashton 4m Eyelet Metal Bay Pole) Fitting & Custom fit

When I was asked to fit a Metal Bay window curtain pole. Especially a Dunelm Eyelet type, I couldn't say no. I wanted to see just how it fits in today's modern houses and just how they get around those bends.
Pleased to do this for one of my daughters and her partner. It was great to be able to custom make the extra bends and make it truly a bespoke job. The end result was lovely and we'll worth taking more time to get that brilliant look - The ends like a straight pole with the benefit of going into a bay.
What we did, could be done with two kits. However, I would be wary of the jointing in between the two corners or bends. So if you're less confident with my method. You could joint them. But I would tap a screw in behind to stop any twisting.

This turned out great! I'm not allowed in Dunelm anymore... I always walk out with an armful of things I don't need.

[@twcmaker]

Thank you for watching James. I don't think I've ever been in one myself.

[@twcmaker]

I have to say this was the first time I'd put a curtain pole up in a while. And I'd never done a bay window one like this before. Jamie

Brilliant job. 👍🏻many people want to use eyelet curtains on bay windows. It’s challenging but you’ve created a great solution.

Thank you.

Great content.i did the same but just measured and went to global tubes in worcester(Diglis) it came out nice. i really like how you undertook the whole process.

[@twcmaker]

Nice if you can, do it in one piece 👌

[@stonecold2653]

@@twcmaker yes they did it to my drawing but it was very expensive.next time i will try your method.

[@twcmaker]

I've done a couple now and the best way is in one single piece. This kit is great for those who can put a few hours in. But the cost must have been a few hundred. Some places don't like single orders because there's a lot of set-up be it machine or cad. And few a few seconds to bend the tube.

[@BeardyJay]

Great Vid, just had a question regarding the bay window, I can’t get to any joists for the ceiling arms, any advise for what fixings I can go for? I know it’s a lath and plaster ceiling

[@twcmaker]

Thank you. Blimey it's a bit of a risk with lath & plaster. Drilling the hole could damage the lath. Maybe use a centre point drill. But you really could do with more structure behind there. Let me know how you get on. Jamie. Ps. Where are you?

Try using the skirting board to bend the pole as this follows the exact angle of the bay. Plus it saves your knees.

[@twcmaker]

Great idea thank you. Saves your knees 👌 Jamie

Hi Jamie, very interesting video. We have the same issue here with our bay window (although slightly larger). We're not too far from you in Redditch. I know this isn't your main line of work but would you consider installing a rail for us??

Hi Tom. That's not too far from me. Email me at [e-mail] We can take it from there. Jamie

[@space197]

what size grinding disk would you recommend to do the cuts with?

[@twcmaker]

A sharp thin but not a cheap rubbish disc that fits your grinder well.

[@twcmaker]

That's a long way from Worcestershire. All I can say is find a good local handyman. Get him to watch how I did it. It is fiddly to do and he's got to understand the situation with supporting timbers above, and have a plan if there's no structure in the centre.
