Building Homes or Extensions/curtain rods

Question
Hi I am trying to help my daughter hang a curtain rod into a steel beam.  Pleeeeeeeeeeeease how the heck do I do it. What screws do I use?  By the way the curtains are quite heavy as they in my Grand Babies room. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks Barbara

Answer
Hi Barbara,
Considering that the curtains are heavy, you may need to drill a hole in the steel beam and tap in a screw.
Or, you can use a small decorative clamp if there is room ....
please  mail me with any more questions if you have more detail...
Good luck,
Dave
