Mary Insana on Aug 31, 2013When you say not enough width do mean width across the window or depth to hold the tension rod? I have the same thing where I use tension rods for my windows because I don't want to cover the nice trim. I only have about an inch depth to put the rods and they stay put. My window is really two windows right next to each other and I treat them as one wide window, How wide is your window and how depth do you have to work with?Helpful Reply

Norma Smith on Sep 01, 2013Instead of a sheer you could cover the glass with one of those window clings that look like etched glass. www.wallpaperforwindows.com That will give you privacy without hiding your trim.Helpful Reply

Sarah Jackson on Sep 02, 2013I had a similiar situation and hung the curtain from a wooden dowel, then screwed in two cup hooks, one at each end of the window, and hooked the dowel over them. Because the sheers were light weight, I was able to get by with a fairly small dowel and small cup hooks.Helpful Reply

Mary Insana on Sep 02, 2013@Sarah Jackson I LOVE the idea of the cup hooks! Even when we think we have a good solution to something someone else sees it from a different perspective.Isn't that what Hometalk is all about? I have been trying to figure out how to hang grommet panels in my sun room on the old railings from vertical blinds. Screwing in larger cup hooks may be my solution. See that, you game me another project to start !Helpful Reply

Bonnie Lewenza on Sep 02, 2013You could also use a bungee cord with the cup hooks. Works great when you want a sheer behind a drape to just leave the drape open.Helpful Reply

Therese C on Sep 02, 2013Perhaps install a small but very sturdy hook on each side of the inner window edging, then get a curtain spring much like used for screen door. Run the screen through the top like you would a rod, and another through the bottom seam, and hook from hook to hook, one at the top, and one at the bottom. Or just do the top if you want the sheers to hang loose.Helpful Reply
