There are two primary methods of top attachment, Velcro or curtain tracking. The choice between Velcro and tracking depends on whether you want to draw your curtains open and closed during the day. The additional cost for optional standard tracking is about $4/ft. We carry a heavy gauge tracking for curtains taller than 10ft for $9/ft. Click on any photo to enlarge.
Velcro attachment (above) is versatile (especially for non-rectangular applications), simple, and least expensive. Velcro attachment will not slide, but you can still create wide 8ft doorway openings for easy access. Read how to attach using Velcro and more about the flexibility of Velcro panels.
Tracking attachment enables you to slide your curtains open and closed to both improve access and to decoratively swag curtains when not in use. Typically, curtains are decoratively swagged open most of the time and closed only when needed. Learn how to install tracking and some detailed tips on mounting track.
Fun fact: In the Northern midwest and Canada, screen porches are called Muskoka rooms. The British call them Naya porches. |
