Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today it's curtains for you and
me and it's how to fit a tension rod net curtain pole you can hang some net curtains or voiles
and I think I'll leave the jokes to the professionals I need to pull myself together
all you're gonna need today is a tape measure and your credit card or some cash
but before we get started let's have a lovely cup of tea
First of all you need to measure the width of your window so take a tape measure
if your window is completely uniform all the way around it should be the same width
at the top and the bottom when you order your neck cones you want them to crease
so you need to order them twice the size of the width of your window and this one
is coming out at 153 centimetres which means that we need to order a net cut and that is
300 centimetres wide and then just measure the drops you know the length of the net curtains
and this is the tension rod that I've just bought now make sure you get one that is much larger
than your actual window so this one fits a window width of 126 to 232 centimetres and remember that
the width of our window is 153 centimetres take out the tension rod from the packet
and then just start unscrewing it outwards
and then offer it up to the width of your window and keep unscrewing it until it goes about three
to five centimetres beyond the width of your window and as we're on the subject to curtains
there's a link above now about how to keep your curtains super smooth on the curtain rails that
is a top tip really useful, now before we fit it remember to put your net curtains over the tension
rod and these tension rods are good for carrying net curtains they're not much good if you're
going to be hanging curtains because they'll be too heavy but net curtains are absolutely fine
because there's literally hardly any weight to them so just feed that onto your net curtain rod
remember earlier you order a net curtain that is twice the width of your window
just so it bunches up nice
then make sure your tension rod is three to five centimetres beyond the width of the window
and then the tension is taken out by pushing it in
if you're struggling to reach use a step ladder so push it in and then push it upwards
and then the spring-loaded mechanism inside
keeps absolutely rigid at the top of the window now what I like about these tension
rods is they're so simple because if you use wire you normally have to screw some
hooks into your uPVC window frames and that is not great and these are nice and simple to fit
I'm just adjusting the net curtains here just so that they're nice and uniform all the way across
that the bunching looks all nice and neat and tidy I do like working on the net... curtains
I'll tell you what I'm pretty pleased with that
That's a big thumbs up from me and this is what the net curtain tension
rod looks like with the net curtains on from the inside all looking really good
and then we'll go outside and I'll show you what the net curtain looks like from the outside
and I've also fitted some curtains and a curtain rail as well
this is what they look like from outside so with the net curtains you get lots of privacy
even if you put your nose right up to the window you cannot see inside unless of course
someone inside has turned the light on and it's dark outside. There's a link up on the top left
about how to keep your curtains super smooth on the curtain rails that is a top tip on the
top right hand side there's a link on how to keep your washing machine hygienically fresh. 'Lurgs'.
