Re: Wanting to put curtains up without drilling. Metal doors, brick house

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Tanya75. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about hanging curtains.

What style curtains and rod were you thinking of? I suspect that if you are not mounting into the brick, you'd be limited to shear and very lightweight curtains. Even when mounted onto a solid surface like plasterboard, with appropriate fixings, curtains have a tendency to pull off the wall.

 

Is there any reason why you don't want to fix into the bricks? Perhaps this is a rental?

 

You could try one of these Windoware 130 - 244cm White Springfit Rods, though it might need to be packed out slightly as it is 10mm too short. As mentioned, though, it is only designed for lightweight curtains.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
