Tools for the job
Sorting out your fabricThe fabric, plain fabric is good to use. Because if your window is wider than the fabric, you run your fabric sideways (also known as railroading). This allows you to make your pelmet as wide as you want without having to join the fabric.![]() ![]() Face and side boards !Next you have the face and return boards. I make mine out of 6mm thick plywood. Your local DIY store will probably cut this to size for you. Well worth any extra cost to get nice square cuts.![]() The all important top boards !Finally the top board, just a timber board 20cm deep X 18mm thick X as long as you need. The timber comes as standard in these sizes just cut to the right length. Bear in mind your top board should be 1cm shorter than you main face board.![]() ![]() "There you have it nice and easy.
