Troubleshooting
Curtain pole appears to sag in the middle.
Ensure the correct number of brackets are used for the pole length and that they are securely fastened to the wall. For longer poles, consider if an additional central bracket is needed, especially if supporting heavy curtains.
Finials are loose.
Check if the finials need to be screwed on more tightly. Some finials may have a set screw for securing.
Pole does not fit bracket securely.
Verify that the correct size brackets are being used and that they are properly aligned. Ensure no debris is obstructing the pole from resting correctly.
Joined sections of the pole do not align smoothly.
Ensure the connector is fully inserted and the sections are pushed together firmly. The join should ideally be positioned behind a curtain fold to minimize visibility.
