- brackets;
- curtain rod or Velcro - depending on the location of the curtain;
- self-tapping screws;
- weighting bar (usually goes in a set with a curtain).

The weighting bar, which is sometimes not found by the owner in the kit, can be placed in another place. In this case, it should be moved to the very bottom edge of the curtain. After this, you need to put sticky tape/Velcro on the curtain rod tape and press it with all your might.
