Troubleshooting
Pole sags in the middle.
Ensure that adequate support brackets are used, especially for longer poles or heavier curtains. For poles over 210cm, verify the center bracket is positioned directly over the join between the two pole sections.
Curtain rings do not slide smoothly.
Check the diameter of the curtain rings to ensure they are compatible with the 28mm pole. Ensure the pole surface is clean and free from any debris. Sometimes, slightly larger rings might be needed.
Finials are loose.
Gently tighten the finials by hand. If they continue to be loose, check for any internal threading issues or consider using a small amount of non-permanent adhesive if necessary.
Pole section join is visible.
Ensure the center bracket is positioned directly over the join for poles longer than 210cm. The bracket should help conceal the join. Curtains can also cover the join when partially drawn.
