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!
