How to Select Header Style for Outdoor Curtains?

Last week, we discussed how to choose the header style for soundproof & blackout curtains. Considering that we are now in the summer season, people will spend more time outdoors, increasing the demand for outdoor curtains. There are some differences to consider in terms of selecting header style for outdoor curtains compared to indoor curtains. This article will address these differences and answer related questions for you.

When selecting a header style for outdoor curtains, there are specific considerations to keep in mind:

Curtain Fullness and Rod Weight Capacity

Outdoor curtains often require a header style that can accommodate their fullness while being mindful of the weight the curtain rod can support, particularly if using a tension rod. Headers like grommet and tab top are recommended in such cases.

Removability for Maintenance

Depending on your needs, you may need to remove the curtains regularly, such as during rainfall.

Velcro tab top headers allow for quick removal and reinstallation, making them ideal for situations where frequent removal is necessary for maintenance purposes.

Windproof Considerations

It's crucial to consider whether windproofing for the curtains is necessary, especially in areas prone to strong winds. If yes, opting for top and bottom grommet style, which helps secure the curtains in place, preventing them from flapping excessively in the wind.

Alternatively, adding sandbags to the bottom of the curtains can also weigh them down and reduce the risk of them being blown around, enhancing their stability during windy conditions.
