How to securely nail curtain rod brackets to the wall?




The plywood walls are not strong enough to hold the nails that come with curtain rod brackets. The rod loosened and all came down after only 4 months installation of a double rod bracket

Make sure you are using the anchors that come with the curtain rods. If you install the anchors correctly, they should hold the rod up without a problem. I've put rods up without the anchors an the curtain rods always end up coming out.
Don't use nails, use screws. I find the studs and screw into those.

Hi Gil, you really need to screw them into a stud or use weight rating appropriate toggle bolts. A double rod can be pretty heavy.
Pics are of my sunroom that used to be a covered deck. I choose to use heavy duty bike anchors and go into the ceiling. You could certainly do this and just do 2 separate rods so the weight wonāt pull it down. But definitely use something other than nails!
