Tool List:

Make sure to:

 

Measure right into the corners of the bay

If you have a rounded corner, mark a point near the edge and use that for measuring. Simply start your measurements from where you would like the pole or finial to end and measure accurately between each point with your tape measure. If you are measuring on your own use masking tape to secure the end of the tape measure if you cannot hold both ends at once. Take the long measurement from one side of the bay to the other.

Remember to look closely at radiators and windowsills as you will want your curtains to hang in front if possible. Take a note of your preferred projection for your bay window pole.

 

Corded poles for bays over 4m may require cording both ends.
