Hi people,
i have a basic question and I was wondering if someone can give me a few pointers.
ok I want to fix a metal curtain pole (not that heavy) onto the wall shown in the photo bellow:
Now the problem with this wall, is that above the red line I have drawn, it is impenetrable with any masonary drill bit I tried to use. I can only go so far as 2-2.5 cm deep (not deep enough for the rawlplug to enter) and then I hit somekind of impenetrable surface, which I think might be metal. Not sure. The result is I cannot fix the screws above the red line (point B).
Under the line (point A) there is no problem and I can drill deep enough. However the problem is that this window frame is about 2.30 m long and I might need to fit another supporting pole hook in the middle at point C.
Now, i was wondering. Is there any way to fix the pole at points B and C? And if so how can i do that? keeping in mind I can only penetrate the wall a few centimetres. Have you ever seen a wall like this before? (is it called drywall, hollow wall?) it sounds approximately the same if you tap at A, B or C.
I would appreciate any help as I am currently without curtains
Thank you
