Hook Type
Choose the hook type based on how you intend to use the wand:
The Wand with Clip is the more common wand type. The wand is clipped through the body of the lead ring and it pulls the bottom of the ring to slide the drapes. It is a very secure hook type and is typically left in place permanently. You can hang it in front of the drapery panel for easy access or behind the panel so as to be hidden. You will need one wand per panel. If using C-Rings, the Wand with Clip must be attached to the eyelet (otherwise it will fall out the back of the ring).
The Over-Rod hook is less common, and is typically only used if you intend to use one wand for multiple drapery panels or windows, as this hook type is easier to take on and off the ring/rod. When hooked through the lead ring, the Over-Rod hook will work just like the Wand with Clip by pulling the bottom of the ring. When hooked over the rod itself, the Over-Rod hook will push the lead ring.
What length do I need?
For ease of use, the wand should hang down to around shoulder height or a bit lower. The measurement that you provide for the length of the wand will be the total, overall length from end to end.
Rod size to fit (for Over-Rod hooks)
This should be set to the actual size of the rod the wand will be used with. (We'll make the wand hook slightly larger than the rod size.) For example, if using the wand with a 1" rod, then select Rod Size To Fit of 1".
Can I use a wand with C-rings?
Yes. Wands with Clips can be attached to the eyelet of the ring instead of the ring itself (otherwise it would fall out). Over-Rod Wands also work.
