There are holes on both sides of the bracket into which the bar is inserted. All rings are strung on it, except two, each of which should share the space between the cap and the bracket. This is necessary to prevent the curtains from sliding towards the center. Next, the plugs are fixed at the edges of the rod.
Before installing on a wall structure, it is necessary to carefully inspect all the details, as the existing holes may not be suitable and the plastic or wooden product may be damaged if the mounting places are not expanded first.

The simplest thing remains - to connect the brackets to the clips and fix the curtains.
