How to hang net curtains. DO NOT use net wire!

I couldn't find many videos on KZbin about hanging net curtains using net wire...that's because it's so difficult! We tried with net wire but trying to stretch it taut and cut t to the right length whilst at the same time not putting too much stress on the hooks in the wall was a nightmare! So we went for a tension rod instead. You can hardly even see the difference, although the tension rod doesn't dip as much in the middle like net wire does. Hope this is helpful!

Just got netting was at a loss as to hang them after watching your blog couldn’t believe you had the answer god bless

Tension rods are not so great, every few weeks they just go pop, and the nets fall to the floor, also the damage they do to wall is unbelievable.

[@Xemwood]

Thanks for the excellent suggestion , I’d never thought of a tension rod and replacing the sticky pad hooks for the thousandth time this year is sapping my will to live!

[@melina1337]

that was really good cos i have never heard of tension rod...Going to buy some for sure....Thank you!

[@ruthgray7328]

This was great, never thought of a tension rod, thanks so much!!

[@amzstar3351]

This was very useful I will definitely buy a tension rod xx thanks

[@Grunfeld]

Thank you! I hadn't heard of tension rods. I like this solution.

[@SumanYadav-im4ny]

Finally a useful video.. thank you

[@northshorepx]

Loved the video. And you explained everything very well. However if I could point out, the sound equalisation made the video very hard to watch. You voice compared was very quiet while in comparison the music very loud. Other than that I really enjoyed it and and now want to get rid of my wires :-)

[@puccafreak]

northshorepx thanks for the feedback. It was my first tutorial so I'll keep that in mind for the next one 😊

[@alghamdiyusuf]

Thanks so much for this, this is really helpful, could you please type the link of the tension rod with the net? thanks again

[@LTTPUK]

Hey Serena - thank you so much for this video!! I'm just about to get net curtains and think I'll get some tension rods for my bay windows :-)

[@gelbsucht947]

Brilliant, very helpful, thanks.

[@Neilhuny]

ditto many others here - I never thought of a tension rod. Let's be honest - I had no idea such things existed I live in rented accommodation for the first time in 40 yrs and didn't know how to create a little privacy because I don't want to/probably not allowed to drill holes for fixing a wire

[@mj897]

Expect a shitting yourself moment in the middle of the night when the rod falls

[@puccafreak]

mj897 I haven't had a problem with mine they seem quite sturdy. Have you tried expanding them further so they fit really snug against the walls? I can tug at mine and it doesn't budge. Let me know if that helps you at all 😊

[@mj897]

Serena KJ hi Serena tension fit stuff does work. People even use push bars in door ways but eventually most house move with temperature and just a millimetre of movement and it will fall. You could glue but then it'll be stuck. That why I drill and hook it. It's not that hard diy job

[@drum2one93]

Very helpful, thank you. Music much too loud though - I was wearing headphones and it gave my ears a bit of a blast when it came in. Might damage speakers too..

[@revertmuslimahchannel2756]

I’ve used tension rods in my house on all windows but they keep falling down- I’ve had that experience in the past before as well. But I’ve no idea what else to use as I have plasterboard walls too - otherwise I would have used the wire

[@avinpertab5051]

That is literally my dilemma at the moment too, i have wooden frames so its not a problem now but about to change for uPVC and do not want to drill into those

[@cantcomprehend1]

Problem.... The tension rod, without support, sags in the middle of a larger window.

[@puccafreak]

I realised after a while that I had this issue in my living room. I got a command hook to put in the middle of the rod, seeing as the rod and net aren't heavy, it's worked a treat!

[@only_just0602]

Thanks for sharing!

[@justinenasonko]

Really easy and it didn’t took you that long 🥰🥰

[@FlosKalimbaWorld]

Such a lovely idea! I've used one for a shower curtain though not for windows. The longer one seemed to droop in the middle. Is there a good fix for that?

[@puccafreak]

I actually used a command hook for the middle but that's because it was against the window frame, not sure about a shower curtain sorry!

[@FlosKalimbaWorld]

@@puccafreak Thank you! Was actually asking for the window frame.

[@semephor]

Tension rod is crap it always falls down after time

[@puccafreak]

Mine have been up for over 2 years, but got a kitten and she pulled down one of them! They're fine when not touched haha!

[@MsInevitability]

omg thank you so much for that!!!!

[@Dobetter15]

Where did you get the rod from please?

[@adnana.shahban4151]

Nice one

[@twiggyclarklondon]

Nets are too short , bring the rod down 1inch

[@adnana.shahban4151]

But have u got any idea for bay windows net curtains?

[@321scully]

A good video.

[@arunj1886]

nice vid

[@peterbagley72]

You told us where you got the nets from but not the rods

[@suejones4467]

WILKINSONS SELL THEM

[@elizabethmitchell8660]

Hi there, can you tell me where you got tension rod

[@puccafreak]

If you're in the UK, I got it from a shop called The Range 🙂

[@avinpertab5051]

Hi i am looking for tension rod for really wide windows and i saw this product on the range website do you still recommend it? Do they last?

[@avinpertab5051]

Just saw your other replies to others comments looks like it does last thanks

[@DH-jv4rt]

Hi. Just wondering how solid is the tension rod? Will it come off if kids pull on the net?

[@puccafreak]

Probably! I didn't realise this as I didn't touch them after I put them up. But since getting a kitten, she's pulled them down twice! Maybe look at a more durable solution

[@DH-jv4rt]

@@puccafreak thanks. I had a feeling they wud come off. My boys r always at the window and pulling the nets really fast when they wana see something, so most likely will come off.

[@danidelasull]

Hi can you tell me where you bought the curtains please. I’m worried about ordering curtains and not having the space for the rod.

[@puccafreak]

Danielle Sullivan I bought the net curtains from netcurtainsdirect.com and got the extendable rod from the Range 😊

[@danidelasull]

Serena KJ thanks!

[@fahadqadri7173]

As a deep sea fisher, can I use my fishing nets on my windows too?

[@elisaedinia4595]

Give it a go😜🥀

[@muslimmummy2066]

Thanks for this vid however mine keep falling down I don't find them secure. Would u say they are not ideal for a house of little kids or should they be able to withstands kids yanking em lol

[@puccafreak]

Yummy Mummy thanks for your comment! My extension rods are from the range so are quite basic but seem quite sturdy. Try making the rod a little longer so there is more pressure against the wall, that might help. Let me know how you get on 😊

[@muslimmummy2066]

Serena KJ Thanks for that

[@FunkyMunkyman69]

Oh my god genius

[@rubit1626]

Where did you buy the pole from please

[@puccafreak]

It was from The Range

[@helicoptersrkool]

You 7ft? I'm just over 6ft and need a chair to reach the top of my windows lol.

[@littlenelsky]

Thank God you meant voiles, I couldn't believe that someone was putting up actual net curtains, as in those rancid things my mum had up at every window, gross floral and ugly as hell. But voiles do not offend me. Tension poles are great though, I have used a huge thick one to hang a heavy pair of 90in lined curtains right across my hall across my front door and window to stop draft in winter and its held perfectly. Any no DIY solution and im usually in.

[@DomenicoCifaldi]

How do u do bay windows

[@puccafreak]

With blinds? 😝 Probably wouldn't recommend a tension rod for bay windows!

[@fahadqadri7173]

I don't have windows at my house, will I still be able to put net curtains up?

[@Navbadboy]

Fahad Qadri do you live in a jail ?

[@fahadqadri7173]

Naveen Salhotra yep don't have curtains either...

[@moedot7]

What Voile did you buy from netcurtainsdirect?

[@D1105awesome]
