Preparing the curtain (g.17)
1. Leave the solid rings aside, slide the pass over rings and 1
solid rings onto the pole, approximately 1 ring per 100mm of
pole, ensuring that 1 solid ring goes on last.
2. When using a centre bracket an equal number of rings will
need to be used either side of the bracket.
Fitting the Bay Corner
1. Adjust the bay corner into the desired angle by loosening the
segment screws. Once in the desired positon re-secure the
screws. (g.15)
2. Slide the poles onto the plastic bung ends of the bay corners.
(g.16)
Bay corners should always be supported by two pass over
brackets.
Fixing the collar (g.19)
1. Position one solid ring between the bracket and the collar.
2. Push the collar onto the end of the pole.
3. Tighten the grub screw on the collar.
Fixing the finial
1. If the collar is already installed on the pole, unscrew the grub
screw and remove the collar. We do not recommend installing
the nial while the collar is tted as it could scratch the pole.
(g.20)
2. Screw the nial on the cup end of the collar. Please note that
different design are available through the range. (g.21)
3. Push the nial onto the end of the pole. (g.22)
4. Tighten the grub screw on the collar.
Installing the curtain
1. Equally space curtain hooks along curtain header, you will
require one hook for every ring. (g.23)
2. Place hooks through the eyelet on the ring. (g.23)
3. Test the installation by drawing the curtains across the pole.
(g.24)
Fixing the pole (g. 18)
1. Loosen the grub screw on the bracket.
2. Place pole in bracket.
3. Tighten the grub screw until the pole does not slide in the
bracket.
Fitting the Bay Corner
1. Adjust the bay corner into the desired angle by loosening the
segment screw. Once in the desired positon re-secure the
screw. (g.15)

Fitting Recommendation
We recommend for better support to t the pole to a secure
wooden batten which is larger than the width of the backplate.
(g.1)
If you are unsure if the product is suitable please ask advice from
a professional builder or your DIY store.
Measuring the Window (g.2a,2b,2c)
Straight lengths over 180cm will require an centre support bracket.
Should you wish to dress your curtains outside of the bay recess, this is possible by reverse bending 2
extra corner joints and installing extra brackets (both sold separately). You will need to add x+y into your
pole calculations and the minimum length for x or y is 10cm.
Calculate the position of the pass over brackets at W
and Z by laying the bay pole parts out on the oor of
your bay window (g.2b), ensuring that the brackets are
at the desired projection (see step 5 of the “Wall Fixing
the Bracket” section).
Calculate the bracket position so that the centre of the
bracket is as near as possible to the outer metal edges
of the bay corner. You will need to bend the bay corner
to the correct angle, see “Fitting the Bay Corner”.
Please Note that for reversed corners the centre of the
bracket has to be at least 4cm from the edge of the
wall.
Calculate the end bracket so its centre is around 10cm
for the desired end of the pole.
DO NOT CUT THE POLES!
The pass over brackets should support the joint between the bend and the pole.
Mark the pole centre line on the wall and then mark the positions of the brackets on the wall using g.2c
below as a guide.

Note: Use the correct wall plugs and screws for the type of wall
or ceilling to which you are mounting your pole. If you are unsure
please consult your local builders merchant or DIY store.
Wall Fixing the Bracket
1. Mark the top hole position for each bracket offset by 2.95cm
from the pole centre line previously marked. (g.3)
2. Use the bracket as a template to mark the second hole
position onto the wall. (g.4)
3. Drill holes and t the correct plugs if xing on masonry wall.
4. Fix the bracket using the correct screws. (g.5)
5. The bracket can be adjusted in projection by unscrewing the
inner screw. Once in the desired position, lock in place by
tightening the inner screw. (g.6)
Ceiling Fixing the Bracket (sold separately)
1. The bracket can be adjusted to 3 positions by unscrewing the
inner screw completly and tightening it back in the next avail-
able position. (g.7)
2. Mark the front hole position for each
bracket offset from the pole centre line
previously marked (g.8a) as per table.
3. Use the bracket as a template to mark
the second hole position onto the
ceiling. (g.8b)
4. Drill holes and t the correct plugs if xing on masonry ceiling.
5. Fix the bracket using the correct screws. (g.9)
Cutting the pole
1. Starting in the middle of the window
(g.10), build the pole outwards
cutting the poles to length as
required. Calculate each length of
pole by measuring the distance
between bracket centres, add 4cm
to the poles connecting to a bend,
add 10cm to the poles connecting to
a nial.
2. Mask area to be cut to avoid
damaging pole. (g.11)
3. When using two poles cut equal
lengths from each pole. (g.12)
4. File sharp edges to avoid injury or
damage to other components. (g.13)
Joining poles (g.14)
1. Join poles if required by sliding a joining piece into the uncut
end of a pole.
2. Slide the second pole onto the joining piece taking care to
push equal lengths of the joiner into each pole.
3. Always join the uncut ends of the pole.
4. Pole joints should always be at the half way point of the
installation length and supported with a bracket.
