Step 1. To mount blinds
outside the window frame, measure the width from the outside edges of
the window frame and the height from 2 to 3” above to 2” to 3” below the
frame. If the window doesn’t have a frame, measure the opening and add a
few inches on each side. Make a diagram of the measurements and refer to
it when purchasing blinds to fit. |

Step 2. Position the first
bracket as indicated by the diagram you made in step 1, and mark its
screw holes. Use a stud finder to locate nearby studs. If a stud is in
the bracket area, drill pilot holes at the marks and attach the bracket
to the wall. If no stud is available, use an awl to make a small hole at
each mark, and then drive a self-tapping hollow wall anchor into each.
Finally, drive a screw into each anchor. |
