Mounting the Brackets
1. Place the panel on the rod. Hold it
up to the spot you wish to install it
making sure there is enough spac-
ing from wall to where the back of
drapery will hit. Usually about 2”
away from wall or window. After
you’ve located the ideal location,
use a pencil to mark the ceiling
where the back of the rod is resting.
2. Remove the panel from the rod
and then center the rod over the
window opening at the desired
spot. Using the pencil, mark where
the ends of each rod are posi-
tioned; if you’re using a center
bracket, note the middle point
between these two spots. If you
have more than one center brack-
et spread these evenly between
the two end brackets and center
point. If you have a spliced rod,
mark where that splice is on the
wall since you will need to add the
special splice bracket at that point.
Measure 6” inward from the marks
you’ve made on both ends and
mark those spots. This is where the
end brackets will be installed.

Depending on your order, you may
have received a rod connector.
A rod connector is the short piece of
metal placed inside each end of the
rods in a multi-segment system to
join them together.
