Remember to install the brackets at both the top and the bottom of your structure to keep your curtains from blowing in the wind. The conduit pipe will need a little give when it’s time to thread it through the bracket. Each bracket will have two holes – simply use two exterior-rated screws to attach it to your structure.Ī quick tip though: don’t tighten them down all the way. To install conduit pipe as your curtain rod, you’ll first want to install the brackets that will hold it. I initially tried out using electrical conduit pipe to hang curtains during my last outdoor curtain makeover because it was inexpensive, but it turned out to also be durable, attractive, and perfect for the job. Step One: Install Brackets For Conduit Pipe I’m happy to splurge on things for my home (like curtains!), but if it’s just functional…I’m going to save my money. For comparison, I spent around $70 on all the materials needed for this project (besides the curtains), compared to $100+ that I calculated we would need with traditional curtain rods. The elements are hard on anything installed outdoors – and exterior curtain rods are EXPENSIVE.

Curtains! (Use code CB18 for 18% off!) Why Conduit Pipe? Shouldn’t I Use A Curtain Rod?.Metal conduit pipe (don’t buy the plastic…you’ll see why in a moment!).This is actually a pretty easy project and doesn’t require a whole lot in terms of materials. With the hot tub so close to the bottom of the curtains, though, they wanted to make sure the curtains wouldn’t be flying in their faces – so the dual grommeted outdoor curtains that KGORGE recommended were a perfect solution! What You’ll Need To Install Dual Grommetted Outdoor Curtains:

They wanted to install some curtains to help their backyard feel a little cozier and give them that much-needed privacy. In the summer, they have a little more privacy, but not much. This deck has a hot tub built-in (which you can kind of see at the bottom of the above pictures), but it’s easy to see that any of their neighbors have a clear view of them. (I mean…can you believe this transformation?!?!?!)

So – here’s how to keep outdoor curtains from blowing in the wind (without weights or magnets) in case you’d like to tackle this project, too! KGORGE kindly sent over these dual grommeted outdoor curtains (which I believe are only available on their website, but come in a TON of different colors). Weights, magnets, and other temporary measures will help with light breezes, but won’t keep your curtains from blowing in the wind during storms or stronger winds. This can be done relatively inexpensively with metal rods or conduit pipe. The best way to keep outdoor curtains in place is to physically attach them at both the top and the bottom. They were actually kind of scary to watch during a big storm! That’s why I was so excited when KGORGE reached out to collaborate – they offer a perfect solution that keeps outdoor curtains from blowing in the wind. On a whim at our first house, I installed some really inexpensive curtains around our back porch – and it turned out to be one of my most popular projects on the blog ever! And while the curtains were beautiful, they also tended to blow in the wind…sometimes too much. This post is sponsored by KGORGE, use code CB18 for 18% off
