Hanging Curtain Rods On Dry Wall

Using drywall anchors is the only solution.

Hanging curtain rods on dry wall.

Hanging curtains on drywall is not as simple as it looks. The best way to mount anything on. Then you can hang your sheer curtain or blackout curtain. Hang the rod 6 inches above the window frame for a standard look.

If you mount a curtain rod with a screw over time you will end up with a sagging curtain and hole. When you re figuring out the curtain and rod placement remember to account for how the curtain hangs on the rod hooks rings tabs grommets or pockets. Insert the back curtain rod if you re using a double rod setup. Or use extra long curtains and hang the rod near the ceiling to make the room appear taller.

Put the main curtain rod in place. Attach curtain rings if they are part of your setup. If you re not using a double rod you can skip this step. Drywall will not hold a screw because it s not solid.

In the typical recently built house this means getting your screws through the drywall and into a stud. Hang the curtains and double check to make sure your brackets are still secure.
