If you measured for outside mount Roman shades, follow these simple installation steps:

1. Locate the slots in the head rail and insert the bracket bolts through the slots.
2. Hold the headrail in place where the shades will be mounted and mark the tops of the brackets. Make sure the shades are centered and level. Mark the tops of the brackets with a pencil.
3. Take the brackets off the headrail and hold them up to the marks. Make new marks for the locations of the screw holes.
4. To make it easier to fasten your screws, create starter holes by tapping a screw with a hammer or using a drill bit. Fasten the screws securely into place.
5. Mount the shade by fitting the bracket bolts back through the slots on the top of the headrail and secure with the wingnuts.

Test your new shades. Pull them slowly to ensure even movement across the shades, and test the stopping feature so that your shades can be adjusted exactly how you want them.
