How to Measure
Allow us to custom bend your Brimar poles (corded and motorized poles excluded). Choose from five configurations: Bow, Compound Bow, Bay, Compound Bay and 90 Degree Bay. We are happy to prepare a quote upon receiving your specifications.
- To start, measure each individual window. Do not assume all windows are of equal size.
- Measure with extreme accuracy. Round all measurements to the nearest 1/8 inch.
- When planning your window design be mindful to corners, crown molding, doors, cabinetry and built-in furniture which may interfere with your installation.
- Consider your finished length when providing dimensions. Factor in the added length of your finials or endcaps when establishing your pole length. Poles are custom cut to your exact specifications. Due to the custom nature of this service, custom bent poles are non-returnable.
- Rod angles should be equivalent to wall angles. Example: wall angle=45° rod angle=45°
- For bay windows we do not recommend placing a bracket where two walls meet, rather position brackets to the left or right of a corner.
- Please use our Pole Bending Worksheet to illustrate your window design. We will prepare a quote once we receive your completed worksheet or template.

- Please indicate if your drawing is based on wall-to-wall measurements or rod measurements. This will influence how we interpret your sketch.
- Brimar will assume that your drawing is based on a “top-down” view. If otherwise, please specify.
- A template in actual size is required for custom bend orders. It is important that you work with your installer to provide accurate dimensions and bend angles as they will determine your finished product. Miscalculations may cause incorrect bending. Custom bent poles are non-returnable.
- A deposit is required before the bending process begins.
- Expect longer lead times for us to prepare your order.
- An additional crating fee applies.
