metal curtain pole?

Firstly check the measurement from the ceiling to the window both sides to see if the window is fairly square.
If it looks okay measure up between 10 - 15cm and mark with a pencil, the pole should also be anything from 20cm wider than the window opening. For a small pole you will just have 2 brackets which you should put up keeping on your pencil line - the pole you have purchased should give you fitting instructions but if not put each bracket well in from the end of the pole - let's say 20cm approx. One ring should be placed between the bracket and the end of the pole which will anchor the curtain at the sides.
You will need a drill and wrawlplugs with the screws in your pack. If you haven't used one before you might wish to ask an experienced friend for assistance!
