I'm tossing up whether to use curtains in Imperfection,Or is that to old school.If not what type of mountings should i use, in the 70s we used plastic coated wire to put them on.Is that still the go, or is there something better. Remember this will be a d/d so they will have to be practical Laughing

We did up curtains for the archway and tail gate of the WB. We just did the nylon cord and eyelet route too.

Is any other ways to put the curtains in ? I was thinking of a rail so you can slide them easy. Suspect
