### Level Makes All The Difference
Wonky curtain pole = wonky curtains. **Forever.** You'll notice it every time you walk in the room. Get it fitted level first time and forget about it.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** The expensive part is the pole, not the fitting. But only fitting done properly makes expensive poles look good. Save money on the pole if you must, but get the installation right.

Frequently Asked Questions about Curtain pole fitting in Exmouth
How do you make sure the pole is level?
Spirit level and careful measuring. Mark both bracket positions at exactly the same height, check they're level with each other before drilling. Sounds simple but it's the difference between curtains that hang properly and curtains that look wonky.
Can you fit curtain poles to plasterboard walls?
Yes, but they need proper wall anchors - not just screws. Curtains and poles are heavy, especially when you pull them open and closed. I use heavy-duty fixings rated for the weight so poles don't pull out of the wall.
Do I need to buy the pole first?
Yes - measure your window and buy the right length pole (usually 20-30cm wider than the window), then I'll fit it level and secure. Metal or wooden poles, I fit both. If you're unsure what size to get, send me photos and measurements.
What if the brackets don't line up with solid wall?
That's where proper fixings come in. If one bracket lands on plasterboard and one on brick, I adjust the fixings accordingly - wall anchors for the plasterboard side, rawlplugs for the brick. Both end up equally strong.
Can you hang the curtains too?
Yes - pole fitting plus curtain hanging is a common combo. Takes about 30-45 minutes per window for both jobs. Much more efficient to do both in one visit.
