nullBefore fitting curtain poles, you need to consider few things for a convenient job. First of all, it is important to mark the accurate position on the walls from the ground where the pole will be fitted. If this is wrong, then the curtains won’t hang properly. Verify the pole length carefully; you may consult a professional for right suggestion. Next, make sure that you drill into walls, doors or window frames cautiously. Be careful not to drill into electric wiring or pipeline for that matter.

Keep all the tools at hand. Like power drill, building material, screws, screwdrivers, pencil, pipe cutter, wall plug, mitre block and titanium (for steel lintel). Before fitting curtain poles, an obvious thing to do is joining the poles if they come in halves. You have to cut down long wooden poles using various tools like mitre box or pipe cutter, metal saw or even a junior hacksaw, depending on the nature of the pole.
