How to Install L Curtain Rod Brackets
- 1). Set up your step ladder so you or your assistant can reach the top of your windows without straining.
- 2). Determine where you want to place your valances. Measure the tops of your windows using your tape measure and draw an "x" lightly on the two spots where you want the screws drilled using a sharp pencil. The marks must be equidistant from each other to ensure the valance is hung uniformly over your window top. They must also be level. Level them out before you complete the next steps.
- 3). Drill holes on the "x" spots with your power drill. Use a drill bit the same size as your plastic drywall anchors so they will fit into the holes snugly. Push the anchors into the drilled holes.
- 4). Hold the L-brackets up, one at a time, lining up their holes with the anchor holes in the drywall. Screw the L-bracket to the wall using a wood screw. Repeat this process for the second L-bracket.
- 5). Ask your assistant to help hold up the valance while you complete installing the valance board. Screw the L-bracket to the valance using a short wood screw. Repeat this process for the second L-bracket, and your work is finished.
