    Das Aufhängen von Gardinenstangen lässt mich den Verstand verlieren. Bitte helfen Sie

    Ich versuche, einige Gardinenstangen anzubringen und stoße immer wieder auf Metall. Ich habe ein Truvo von Bosch verwendet, um Metall zu finden, aber es piept ständig überall. Das Gebäude selbst ist ein Neubau und auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Mauer befindet sich die Außenseite des Gebäudes. Ich habe ein paar Löcher gebohrt, aber jetzt bin ich ehrlich gesagt fertig. Es dringt etwa 20 mm weiter ein, bevor es auf Metall trifft. Ich verwende einen 6-mm-Bohrer mit Hammermodus. Ich vermute, dass es am Verschluss liegt, aber ehrlich gesagt, wo soll ich bohren? Wenn ich höher gehe, hängen meine Vorhänge einfach in der Luft. Aaah, bitte helft mir jemand

      You have to go much higher or hang them from the ceiling. Curtains at every imaginable length exist.

      You’re probably right about it being the blinds box/mechanism. I would get longer curtains if I were you, it will look better even if it’s an additional cost.

      20mm depth seems more than enough, especially since I assume we are talking about rather light curtains. Since it’s a new building, the plaster is unlikely to be more than 10mm.

      6mm dowels mean 4-4.5mm screws. That’s enough to hold a a shelf. Just get shorter screws, mate.

      Had this exact same problem over a year ago when I wanted to install ceiling lights. No one had an answer. Hopefully someone has an answer for you.

      Who’s the bot that downvotes everything?

      You should use the right tools. Drilling machine. Schlagbohrmaschine which is strong enough with the correct drill attached.

      You have to go higher, and farther to the right of the window. At least 15 centimeters or more.

      And for the metal finder: If it beeps everywhere you should read the manual for where to hold it (yes that matters), maybe take off your shoes and/or put touch the wall with your other hand, about 30 cm away from the sensor.

      You have drilled into the wires or the box of rollo motors/ controls. Before you damage further, check and then drill. Take longer curtain rods.

      So the Bosch truvo told you that there is metal underneath but you drilled anyways? You drilled into the box for the Rollos. You need to go higher and further to the right and then drill (obviously first check again with the truvo and if he detects metal, do NOT drill). If the curtain rod not long enough for this, you need a longer one, and probably also longer curtains.

      You should also inform your landlord that you drilled into the box for the Rollos tbh.

      Please also keep in mind that if you drill into the electronics or any other part of the shutter box (Rollladenkasten) and break something you will most likely be liable.

      You’re drilling too low. Also one doesn’t usually hang curtains that low above the window.

      If you don’t have your curtains made to measure anyway, one usually buys curtains that are longer and then just gets them shortened to the exact length needed.

      An option that no-one else has suggested yet is to use a mounting plate. This would probably be cheaper than new curtains. As others have said, 20mm into plasterboard won’t be enough with the 1-2 screws normal curtain rod brackets have.

      For this option you would need the extra screws and dubbels, the mounting plates and some paint that sticks to metal that is close to the same colour as your wall.

      You should get a metal mounting plate that is at least 3mm thick with at least 1 pre-existing hole on each corner and hole(s) in the middle that line up with your curtain rod bracket (to save you from trying to drill through 3mm of metal). Make sure you get one where the holes line up with your curtain bracket. Of they are light curtains I would go with a plate that’s maybe 10cm x 10cm., however if they are thick heavy curtains then maybe you need to go a bit bigger

      You also should make sure you’re buying the right type of dubbel/wall anchor for your situation. If that approx 20mm drill depth is one 12.5cm layer of drywall you could get dubbels (e.g. a butterfly wall anchor) that will have space to spring open behind the drywall (these will distribute the force on the other side of the drywall better). Alternatively, if that ~20mm depth is actually 25mm and it’s two layers of plasterboard you want a dubbel that will expand and lock into the sides of the drill hole rather than behind the wall.

      Edit: also if you just go to a hardware store and tell them the situation they will be able to give you some good free advice. The people working at hardware stores are usually super helpful in my experience. I think they get bored and like the challenge of solving a customer’s DIY issues

      You can use a marker and use the brackets of the rod to project where the rod would fit well and then drill a hole before attaching the bracket to the wall therefore making it easier to know where to drill and make a hole for the nails that will attach the bracket to the wall
