Rated ExcellentWe offer a wide range of metal curtain poles specifically designed for 3 sided bay windows. While bay windows can often seem difficult to dress, our collection makes it easy to achieve a stylish, practical finish. Each bay window pole kit includes the components needed for installation, including corner joints, adjustable brackets and passing rings, allowing your curtains to move smoothly around the bends.
What length of pole do I need?
Before choosing a curtain pole, you'll need to measure each section of your bay window individually. This will help you determine the correct pole lengths required for your installation. If you're unsure where to start, take a look at our guide on how to measure for bay window curtain poles.
Which 3 Sided Bay Window Pole Kit Is Right for My Window?
Because every bay window is different, it's important to consider the shape and angles of your bay before selecting a pole kit.
For bay windows with tight 90-degree corners, we recommend our 35mm Speedy Bay Window Pole Kits or Swish 3 Sided Bay Window Pole Kits. These systems use specialist corner joints designed to navigate sharper bends while maintaining smooth curtain movement.
If your bay window features wider angles, you'll have a greater choice of options, including Speedy, Swish and Universal Bay Window Pole Kits.
Should I Fix My Bay Window Pole to the Wall or Ceiling?
Choosing the correct fixing method is one of the most important decisions when installing a bay window curtain pole.
Wall fixing is usually the preferred option, but you'll typically need at least 10cm of clear space above the window and a suitable surface to fix the brackets securely. In some cases, a timber batten may need to be installed above the window to provide a secure fixing point.
If there isn't enough space above the window, ceiling fixing may be the better solution. Ceiling brackets are fitted directly into the ceiling and can be particularly useful for modern homes or difficult installations. Always ensure you fix into ceiling joists or use suitable plasterboard fixings where required.
What If My Bay Window Has More Than Three Sides?
No problem. We also offer a range of 5 sided bay window curtain poles designed for larger and more complex bay window configurations.

How Do I Fit a 3 Sided Bay Window Curtain Pole?
