Please try to cut the track or rod in a vertical 90° angle. You can purchase the track joiner here, and rod joiner here.

For a luxurious look, we recommend the track or rod to extend 20 inches on each side of the window.

HOW CLOSE TO THE CEILING SHOULD I MOUNT MY HARDWARE?
To achieve a grand look, mount the track as close to the ceiling as possible or directly onto the ceiling. If you have crown molding, install the hardware with wall brackets just below.
We recommend installing the rod at least 45 inches above the window.
CEILING MOUNTING: HOW FAR FROM THE WALL SHOULD I INSTALL MY TRACK?
We recommend installing the track at least 2-4 inches from the wall. To create a two layer curtain look, you should have at least 4 inches between the tracks. This way the curtains will have enough space for the pleats when open.
When deciding the instalment distance from the wall, please consider the placement of your radiators and/or windowsill.
