Instructions

Measure the window. The first step is to measure the width of the window. This will determine the length of the curtain rod that you need.
Mark the location of the brackets. Once you know the length of the curtain rod, you can mark the location of the brackets. The brackets should be placed at the ends of the window, and they should be evenly spaced.
Drill pilot holes. Use a drill to drill pilot holes for the screws. The pilot holes should be slightly smaller than the screws.
Screw in the brackets. Insert the screws into the pilot holes and tighten them until the brackets are securely in place.
Hang the curtain rod. Place the curtain rod on the brackets and make sure that it is level.
Hang the curtains. Once the curtain rod is in place, you can hang the curtains.
