EverythingYou Need

First, make sure you have all the parts and tools required to install your shades.
ALL THE HARDWARE YOU’LL NEED: Pencil, screw-driver, ¼” nut driver, level, and a drill with a 1⁄16” drill bit.
Then find wooden studs where you’ll want to attach the brackets; if you need to mount your shades to wallboard or plaster, use a secure fastener designed for hollow wall applications. For metal surfaces, pre-drill holes and use the included screws. For concrete, stone, brick, or tile surfaces, use a masonry drill and appropriate plugs, anchors, or screws.
It’s important when selecting a fastener to make sure it’s designed to support the weight of the shade . Follow the fastener manufacturer’s instruction from there on out .
