How to Hang Curtain Rods on a Metal Base

If you have metal window trims or metal doors with windows, you may need to figure out how to hang curtain rods on the metal base that surrounds the windows. Instead of drilling into the metal base around the windows, you can purchase magnetic curtain rods that install simply by attaching them to the metal base. These magnetic curtain rods are strong but can be easily adjusted or moved when necessary.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Tape Measure
• Curtains
• Magnetic Curtain Rods (see resources)
• Level

1. Determine the length of curtain rods needed to cover your window(s).

2. Purchase the magnetic curtain rods that fit the design and the size needed as determined in step 1.

3. Assemble the curtain rods according to manufacturer instructions. Place the curtains onto the curtain rods.

4. Attach the magnetic curtain rods to the metal window frame at the top of the window(s). Make sure the curtain rods are centered around the window, and use the level to make sure that the curtain rods are level.

Tips & Warnings

• If your curtains are very heavy, make certain that you purchase curtain rods with magnets that are strong enough to hold the weight of the curtains.
