How to Hang Curtains in a Container House

For hanging curtains in a container house, you can use a non-drilling telescopic rod installation method or use adhesive-backed sealing strips for auxiliary fixation. The specific operation should be selected based on the characteristics of the container door and the type of curtain. Here are the detailed instructions:

Telescopic Rod Installation (Highly Versatile)

This method is suitable for curtains such as fabric, cotton and linen, and chiffon that have a curtain rod channel at the top. The operation steps are as follows:

• Measurement and Rod Selection: Use a tape measure to measure the inner width of the door opening. Choose a telescopic rod that is 3-5cm longer than the door opening width (for example, if the door width is 90cm, you can choose a model with a length range of 80-120cm). It is recommended to have a diameter of 25-28mm to enhance the load-bearing capacity.
• Adjustment and Cleaning: Adjust the telescopic rod to be 2-4cm wider than the door opening. Wipe the installation positions on both sides of the door opening (10-20cm from the top of the ground) with alcohol or dishwashing liquid to ensure there is no dust or oil stains.
• Installation and Inspection: Hold both ends of the telescopic rod with both hands. Press one end against the wall, compress the other end with force, and then align it with the other side. Release your hands to let it automatically expand and press tightly. Check the stability. If it is loose, rotate the middle adjusting nut for fine-tuning.
• Hanging the Curtain: Insert the top curtain rod pocket of the curtain into the telescopic rod, evenly distribute the folds, and then put it back in place. Advantages: Strong load-bearing capacity (5-10kg), neat appearance, and traceless disassembly; Disadvantages: Requires flat and hard bearing surfaces on both sides of the door opening (such as tiles or wooden door frames).

Sealing Strip Auxiliary Fixation (Suitable for Lightweight Curtains)

If the curtain is lightweight or the surface of the container door is uneven, you can use adhesive-backed sealing strips for auxiliary fixation:

• Material Selection: Prioritize ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber sealing strips, which are aging-resistant, UV-resistant, elastic, and come with strong adhesive.
• Cutting and Pasting: Cut the sealing strips according to the size of the door frame. Peel off the adhesive backing and paste them on the top and both sides of the door frame, pressing firmly.
• Fixing the Curtain: Press the edge of the curtain onto the sealing strip. If reinforcement is needed, you can fix 2-3 rivets on each of the three sides. Advantages: No drilling required, simple operation, waterproof and dustproof; Disadvantages: Limited load-bearing capacity, suitable for lightweight curtains.

Handling Special Scenarios

• Doors with Door Closers: If the door closer is on the inside of the door, it needs to be moved to the door-opening direction (for example, if the door opens outward, install the door closer on the outside). Then, install the curtain as described above.
• High-Frequency Use Scenarios: If the curtain needs to be opened and closed frequently, you can install anti-slip rubber pads at both ends of the telescopic rod or choose magnetic screen curtains (which automatically close and leave no gaps).
