Materials Needed

Step-by-Step Installation Guide
1. Measure and Mark
- Use a measuring tape to determine the desired length and width of the curtain installation area.
- Mark the positions for mounting tracks or rods using a pencil or marker. Ensure the marks are level for a straight installation.
2. Install Mounting Tracks or Rods
- Secure the mounting tracks or rods to the ceiling, wall, or doorway using screws or anchors.
- Use a drill to create pilot holes if necessary, especially for hard surfaces like concrete or brick.
- Ensure the tracks or rods are firmly attached and level.
3. Attach the Chain Link Curtain
- Slide the top edge of the Chain Link Curtain into the mounting track or rod.
- If using a rod, ensure the curtain is evenly distributed along its length.
- For doorways, hang the curtain from the top track, allowing it to drape naturally.
4. Adjust and Secure
- Adjust the curtain to ensure it hangs evenly and reaches the desired length.
- Trim any excess chain links if necessary, using appropriate tools.
- Secure the bottom of the curtain with weights or additional tracks if needed to prevent swaying.
5. Final Check
- Ensure the curtain moves smoothly along the track or rod.
- Verify that the installation is secure and level.
