Secure the Brackets
Plug attachment holes if necessary and screw into place. Repeat steps for the other end support.
Cut the Rod to Length
It must extend a couple of inches on each side of the end support brackets to accommodate end rings and finials. With supports in place, thread the rod through one end support.
Attach Rings and End Support
Position rings on the rod before threading the other end of the rod through the other end support.
Place Outer Ring
Position one ring on the outer side of each of the end supports.
Position Finials on the Ends of the Rod
Normally these are just pushed to fit; some are secured by a screw.
Secure the Rod
Attach the rod to the bracket by securing screws through the supports and into the rod. You may need to pilot-drill these holes first.
