make a curtain rod what you’ll need 2– galvanized steel plumbing floor flanges 2– galvanized steel plumbing 90° elbows 2– 1½" x 2" steel pipe nipples 8– #8-12 x 1¼" length plastic drywall anchors with screws 1– 3/4" electrical conduit cut to length (you can cut it yourself using a cheap but nifty little tool called, appropriately enough, a pipe cutter) pencil drill with ¼" drill bit pencil 1. Decide how high you’ll want to position your rod – just above the window is certainly a logical choice, but there’s no reason you can’t go higher if you like. Mark the position for the bottom of the curtain rod with a pencil. 2. Attach an elbow onto one end of each steel pipe nipple; screw each remaining end into the flanges (as shown). 3. Determine the positions for the assembled flange pieces along the wall. The top of the steel pipe nipple should coincide with the position that you marked in step 1, and you’ll want the flanges just outside the width of the window. Mark the positions for the four screw-holes in each flange.
