Help with hanging curtains across 10ft window

https://imgur.com/OOllHki I am trying to hang curtains across the window shown in the picture. I am looking for feedback about my plan on where to drill holes for the curtain brackets. (see details below for my plan) More details: The wall is roughly 12 ft across and the window is roughly 10 ft across. The red sections are places where my stud finder has detected studs. If it's not clear, my stud finder has gone off on: The two sections of the wall immediately to the left and right of the window The section of the wall immediately above the window (when detecting, I had my stud finder facing horizontally and moved it down) 7 vertical sections of the wall above the window The yellow circles are the places where it is my instinct to drill for the curtain brackets: left, on the section immediately to the left of the window, above the window right, similarly on the section immediately to the right of the window, above it middle, on the center vertical section above the wall (but not on the section immediately above the window) Again, appreciate any feedback about this plan. Thank you. submitted by /u/dfncrbl [link] [comments]

More details:

The wall is roughly 12 ft across and the window is roughly 10 ft across. The red sections are places where my stud finder has detected studs. If it's not clear, my stud finder has gone off on:

  • The two sections of the wall immediately to the left and right of the window
  • The section of the wall immediately above the window (when detecting, I had my stud finder facing horizontally and moved it down)
  • 7 vertical sections of the wall above the window

The yellow circles are the places where it is my instinct to drill for the curtain brackets:

  • left, on the section immediately to the left of the window, above the window
  • right, similarly on the section immediately to the right of the window, above it
  • middle, on the center vertical section above the wall (but not on the section immediately above the window)

Again, appreciate any feedback about this plan. Thank you.
