Eyelet Bay Curtain Pole Kit 400cm: 3-Sided Bay & L-Shaped Window Solution
A 3-sided bay window curtain pole kit designed for square or angled bays, with options for traditional 3-sided bays and L-shaped windows. Compatible with eyelet curtains and supplied as a complete kit for one bay window installation.
Simple Installation

Pole Diameter
Metal 28mm pole (as stated).

Complete Kit
Everything for 1 bay window.
Expectation setting: This is a curtain pole kit (not a track) and is stated as compatible with eyelet curtains. If you select eyelet curtains and rings, the rings will not pass the brackets, so the curtains will stack over the bracket positions.
Overview of the 3-sided eyelet bay curtain pole kit
This 3-sided bay window curtain pole is designed to suit a square or angled bay with three sides, and the kit can also be used for L-shaped windows. The pole is supplied as a 400cm kit made up of two 200cm poles, with a joining splice and fixings.
For L-shaped installations, the source content states a maximum of 200cm per side going around the corner. For a traditional 3-sided bay, the maximum centre span stated is 240cm, achieved by cutting the 200cm poles down to 120cm for the centre section, leaving up to 80cm returns on each side.
Bracket positioning matters: the end bracket needs to be set 10cm in from the end of the pole to help hold the pole firm. Where eyelet curtains/rings are used, rings will not pass the brackets, so stacking will occur at those points.
Washing instructions and certificates are available in the specification tab where provided for the product.
Where this fits in our range
Choose this kit when you need an eyelet-compatible pole solution for 3-sided bay windows or an L-shaped window, supplied as a complete box for a single bay installation. Where you need rings to travel past fixing points, factor in the stated bracket limitation for eyelet rings.
Best suited for
- Eyelet curtains where the pole covers the window.
- 3-sided bay windows (square or angled) and L-shaped windows (as stated).
- Projects requiring a cut-to-size solution using standard tools.
Who uses this eyelet bay curtain pole kit
Suitable for domestic and light contract fit-outs where an eyelet-compatible bay pole is required and dimensions can be cut down on site. Common applications include bay window living spaces, rental refurbishments, and straightforward specification where bracket positions and stacking behaviour are acceptable.
For contract-use installations, confirm fixing substrate, bracket locations, and curtain stack positions during survey to avoid clashes at returns and corners.
Practical fitting notes (from the supplied content)
- Set the end bracket 10cm in from the end of the pole to help hold the pole firm.
- Eyelet rings will not pass brackets, so curtains will stack over bracket positions.
- Traditional 3-sided bay centre span up to 240cm (by cutting down poles as described).
- L-shaped use: up to 200cm per side going around the corner (as stated).

Easy to fitInstallation was surprisingly quick and hassle-free. I was expecting a complicated job because of the bay shape, but the pole is designed so well that everything fitted into place easily. The brackets lined up perfectly, the poles cut cleanly to size, and the corner joints connected smoothly without any wobble. The instructions were clear, and the whole setup took far less time than I anticipated. Highly recommend this product0 people found this helpful

Easy InstallReally impressed by how simple the installation was for this 3-sided bay curtain pole. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the kit included everything I needed so I didn’t have to buy extra parts. Measuring and cutting to size was straightforward. Honestly, installing this felt much less daunting than I expected (even for a DIY novice, it was very manageable).0 people found this helpful

3-Sided Eyelet Bay Curtain PoleOne thing I liked very much is how the pole can be cut to size. I have a fairly unique bay window so being able to trim the poles to fit perfectly was really helpful. The joining splice makes it easy to connect the cut pieces0 people found this helpful
-
recommend direct fabricsI chose this curtain pole because I have some quite heavy blackout eyelet curtains in my bay window. The pole is rated for up to 20kg, which was a big plus. After installing it, I felt confident that it would support my curtains without sagging. The central and side supports feel solid, and the whole structure is very robust0 people found this helpful

Fast and HelpfulI had a couple of questions before buying, and the customer service team replied within an hour with clear, friendly advice. They really know their products. It’s rare these days to get such quick and genuinely helpful responses. Brilliant service.0 people found this helpful

5 starsAbsolutely delighted with this 3-sided bay curtain pole. The metal feels very sturdy, and once bent into place for my angled bay it held up beautifully. It was easy to cut to size and the installation was quite straightforward. The eyelet curtains glide smoothly and quietly, even around the corners — exactly what I hoped for. Delivery was fast, and the 5-year guarantee gives me confidence that it’s built to last. Highly recommended.0 people found this helpful
How to Measure For Curtains, Blinds and Tracks.
Pen and Paper
For recording your
measurements.
Helper
Someone to assist if your
windows are large .
Metal Tape Measure
As this will allow you to get a
rigid full length measurement.
Make sure your curtain tracks and poles are fitted in the position you want.
Choose the type of curtains that you would like and how you want to hang your curtains. See our heading styles guide
We recommend fitting your hardware first before measuring, this avoids any issues with not getting the perfect fit.
Measure your window using our main guide. Quick summary below. Remember wave, pinch, and designer headings require slightly different measurement
Measure in 3 places and take the shortest drop – Floors and ceilings can run out.
Double / Triple check your measurements
Choosing your Curtain Track Width
The width of the curtain track should extend past your window this allows for the curtains to stack back away from your window and allow light in.
Measure your recess and then add on 15cm on either side. For acoustics , we recommend further to fully cover the window and the surrounding area. In our test we added an additional 30cm to the width and also made the curtain floor length.
Wave curtains, for every 100cm of track the curtains will stack circa *18cm
Eyelet curtains, they will stack back circa 10cm per *70cm of track width
Pencil Pleat will stack approx 25% of the track width. eg. 210cm track will stack 52.5%
* all dependent on thickness of fabric

How to Measure for Blinds going Inside the Recess
- Measure the exact width of the recess in three places; at the top of the recess, in the centre of the recess and near the bottom - then take the smallest size.
- Measure the exact drop of the recess in three places on the left hand side of the recess, in the centre of the recess and on the right hand side of the recess - then take the smallest size.
- We will take one cm off the finished width size you have given us, to allow for the blind to pull up and down easily.
- Double check your measurements
- Cord Safety - Mounting Height - We ask for the mounting height of your blinds to allow for the cord to be 150cm off the ground. If mounting at 210cm This is what you enter in the Fitting height box. We make a deduction to ensure the cord is 150cm from the floor. Thus the cord loop will be 60cm
How to Measure Outside of the Recess
- Measure the recess in 3 places on the width and also 3 places on the drop. Take the widest measurement.
- Measure the width of the actual recess plus an additional amount – Usually from 7cm-15cm whatever you think looks appropriate. This is for overlap.
- Measure the exact drop of the recess. The blind would be fitted above the recess, so check the space above and add an amount on to the drop – usually from 7-15cm
- These sizes you have taken will be the size of the finished blind.
- Double check your measurements
- Cord Safety - Mounting Height - We ask for the mounting height of your blinds to allow for the cord to be 150cm off the ground. If mounting at 210cm This is what you enter in the fitting height box. We make a deduction to ensure the cord is 150cm from the floor. Thus the cord loop will be 60cm
Cubicle Tracks you have to measure with right angles from wall to wall where you want the track to go
Draw your room on a piece of paper with a sky view
Now measure from the wall to wall for straight tracks,
L Shape Tracks Measure to a point on the floor and mark with a piece of tape. Then for the other sides measure from the other wall to that point.
Always check for obstructions and fitting issues you may need to work around
