Tips & Warnings
When purchasing your wire, test the product before buying. It needs to be stiff enough to hold the material, but flexible enough for you to bend with the use of pliers.
After a period of time, the wire, regardless of how stiff, will begin to sag. You will need to tighten the loops on each side of your curtains.
