After this, you need to remove the pipe, drill a hole in the wall for another bracket and secure it with a screw.
The top pipe is attached to the first bracket, and the sleeve is inserted into the second.
How to make a design yourself
It is necessary to determine the size of the window frame, which should correspond to the size of the curtains.
The width of the window frame and blinds should be the same.
Important! If ready-made curtains with an electric motor are used, then for this you need to improve the mechanism with a plastic rod.
The width of the blinds should be 1 cm larger than the length of the wooden block. The curtain will be attached to it with a stapler, in which a special pocket should be made.
After installing the electric motor, in which a reversing switch regulates its operation, you can attach the curtains.
Once the engine is installed in a special plastic box, you need to connect the cable and insert the control buttons.
Important! When selecting a motor and gearbox model, you need to know the speed (12 W) and shaft rotation power (15 rpm).
For heavy curtains, the electric drive is attached to the wall. For light roller blinds, the drive is installed inside the shaft.

To power some motors you will need a converter to raise the voltage (12 or 24 V).
The batteries installed in lightweight roller blinds can work for a whole year without recharging.
Important! This option is suitable if replacing the wiring will not damage the interior of the room.
The engine power must be between 30 and 259 W. The built-in emergency shutdown system is triggered in case of damage or obstacle.
