PREPARE YOUR PAPER TEMPLATE

• Use something robust like brown paper or wallpaper to make your template. Baking parchment or newspaper is too flimsy and is likely to tear.
• Push the paper to the back wall or skirting board in your bay window area. 
• Fold in the corners to follow the angles of your wall.

• Measure at ground level, not at pole or ceiling height.

CUT YOUR TEMPLATE TO SHAPE

• Start off by cutting away the excess paper to show the angles.
• Then mark on the template where you would like the finials to begin. 
• Make sure they are clearly marked.

• Mark your template ‘This Way Up’ to help our team lay it out correctly.

LABEL YOUR TEMPLATE WITH DETAILS

• Mark on the template where you would like the brackets to be.
• We will make the necessary allowances for the depth of the bracket from the wall and any window sills, radiators etc that you have advised us of.
• State on the template whether you have made your template against the wall or a skirting board.
• If a skirting board, please state on the template the depth of your skirting board from the wall.
• Please state if you are fitting the brackets to the wall or window frame.
• It is also helpful if you mark on the template if you intend to hang full length curtains.
