Hanging Curtain Rods On Dry Wall

In the typical recently built house this means getting your screws through the drywall and into a stud.

Hanging curtain rods on dry wall.

If you mount a curtain rod with a screw over time you will end up with a sagging curtain and hole. Or use extra long curtains and hang the rod near the ceiling to make the room appear taller. The curtain curtain rod combo is heavy enough that in an ideal situations your brackets would go into wood. However studs are only found every 16 24 inches so it s unlikely there would be one everywhere you want to put a bracket.

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. Then you can hang your sheer curtain or blackout curtain. Insert the back curtain rod if you re using a double rod setup. Drywall will not hold a screw because it s not solid.

Hang the rod 6 inches above the window frame for a standard look. The best way to mount anything on. Attach curtain rings if they are part of your setup. Using drywall anchors is the only solution.

Drywall may look solid enough but it won t hold a screw and if you mount a curtain rod improperly you ll end up with a sagging curtain and a hole to patch. Put the main curtain rod in place.
