I have a blind at home on a small window and it is fixed to the underneath of the top horizontal of the window - if that makes sense....

It is currently fixed (by the previous owners of the house who were DIY bodgers) with these:



One has come out and I'd rather replace this type of fixing with something more solid - not least of which because hammering tiny staples in upside down doesn't make for a very solid job.

Can you think of anything else that would essentially do the same job, but is screw in and neater?

Thanks

A screw?

A cup-hook?

A screw won't hold the bar of the blind and a cup hook would make it too low as it would hang off it. It needs to be a 'U'...

Depending on how big the bar is, how about some form of cable or P clip?

Deck Eye looks the thing - I will order some....

Many thanks!

It's a weird way of fixing a blind whatever you do. They come with proper brackets.

I agree.

The previous owners were complete DIY bodgers. Fortunately most jobs were done by professionals, however the few that they attempted are dreadful.

This is a homemade blind which is very pretty, but has a peculiar way of being fixed - nailed in with fencing staples in fact. However, I've now ordered the bits I need to make a better job of it.
