How do I mount curtain tracks on Masonite walls for a corner window?

Masonite (hardboard lining) won't hold a loaded track on its own, so the bracket fixings need to reach something solid.

Getting a secure hold

• Find the timber studs or window head behind the lining and screw your brackets into them where you can.
• Where you can't hit framing, use wall anchors rated for hollow or thin board, not standard plugs.
• A corner window usually means two tracks meeting at the corner. Mount each track level and let the inner ends sit close so the curtains read as one run.

Tip: Mounting to the ceiling or high above the frame makes the window feel taller and lets the curtains fall in a cleaner line.
