Hi,
I recently bought a new curtain pole for my new house. The pole is to be fitted onto a wooden baton which is 1cm thick, with solid concrete wall behind it. However, the screws that came with the pole are 3cm long. Therefore they will be 1cm into the wood and 2cm into the solid wall.
Could someone please advise me what the best way to do this would be? A friend suggested drilling a very small pilot hole through the wood and into the concrete, 3cm deep. The thinking of this pilot hole is to allow the screw to be screwed into the concrete. Would this work?
Thanks in advance.
