Attach the curtain to a door

What you need:

• Roller track with fastening material
• Curtain pinch with rollers
• Cord
• Curtain rings
• a light metal brace

When the curtain is supposed to replace the door

Depending on which local circumstances lead to the use of a curtain, the curtain should be adapted to the purpose.

• If he is only to make sure that you are unobserved, a light material can be used. If, on the other hand, protection against dust, drafts or cold is necessary, a heavy, hard-wearing fabric must be selected.
• You can screw the curtain, laid in folds, rigidly to the door frame. That would be an easy option if the passageway is only used very rarely. It is also an option if the door itself is still there and opens to the other side. To make it easier to pass through if necessary, you can gather the curtain with a cord.

• A curtain is more convenient to use if it is suspended from a sliding rail. The rail must be fixed at a certain distance from the door frame so that the curtain can move freely. You thread so many pince-nez or clips that the curtain is held about every 10 cm.
• If you want to save yourself having to draw the curtain behind you every time, you can tie it to a string, then lead it over a small roller and weigh it down with a weight. The weight always ensures that the curtain stays closed.

You can add a vestibule to the door

• In the worst case, the door opens inwards, so a vestibule must ensure that the door is not obstructed. That is why it is necessary to build a semicircular rail or bar as far into the room as the door is wide.
• To ensure stability, catch the rail roughly in the middle with a strut that is also screwed to the wall above the door. At this point the curtain can be divided, it should also be possible to slide it, but still close as tightly as possible.
