- Drapery poles are usually mounted at least 3” to 4” above the window trim. Refer to the Diagrams tab for instructions on How to Measure a Window.
- For wider windows combine two poles together with a Connector. If need be, cut the poles to achieve your desired width. Use 1 Connector for every 2 poles. Place a Wood Bracket at maximum every 4’. Don’t forget to buy extra Wood Brackets and Connectors as needed, all sold separately.

How to Measure a Window
Measure windows with a steel measuring tape. Measure all windows in the room, even if they appear to be the same size.
Determine rod placement (options):
- Distance out past window -- 4” each side is a good rule of thumb
- Distance out past window -- abut against outside edges of window frame
- Top of window frame -- corner to corner
- Wall to wall
Determine drapery hardware to be used:
- Determine how far above window to place hardware -- 4” above frame is a good rule of thumb
- Determine return size needed (the distance that the rod projects from the wall/window frame
Measure for drapery length:
- Apron length
- Floor length
- Ceiling to floor
- Allow for floor clearance -- floor length draperies should end 1/2” above floor or just short of the carpet
- Hint: Place a thin piece of cardboard on top of the carpet to help measure evenly.
