How to Install the Sleepout® Blackout CurtainUpdated 5 days ago

Curtain Rod Installation Instructions

Please note, you will need two people to install this rod.

1. Assemble the Curtain Rod

• Start by threading the curtain rod pieces together.

• They should connect smoothly. If they don’t, they may not be properly aligned—double-check and realign as needed.

• Make sure the pieces on each end of the rod are the ones with the head mounts (these have small holes near the ends).

2. Determine the Rod Length

• Hold the assembled rod up to your window to decide on the ideal width.

• We recommend going as wide and as high as possible for the best look and coverage.

• Screw on one bracket (either side)

3. Position the Curtains

• Slide your curtains onto the rod.

• Hold the rod with curtains up to the window to visualize where the brackets should go.

• Put the other bracket on the rod once all of your curtains are on the rod & ready to be hung.

4. Mark Bracket Placement

• Once you’ve chosen a general height and width, mark all 4 bracket holes on the wall with a pencil.

• You can either screw directly into the wall or drill a pilot hole first, about the size of the screw.

5. Ensure the Bracket Holes Are Level

• Check that both bracket holes are level using a level tool or by eye.

• If needed, adjust one of the marks to match the other.

6. Have someone hold the rod with the curtains, while the brackets are screwed into place.
