Why damage them irreversibly with screw holes etc.

You can buy metal extending rods for net curtains, they just slot onto a pin
and holder that has an adhesive pad on the back and attaches to the window
frame. Easy to fit, cheap, non-destructive, completely universal and dead
easy to take down for washing etc. and if you ever tire of them they can be
removed without damage.

What could be better?

How should I fasten them ?
Incidentally, the biggest problem I've had is fixing the end hooks into
the
wall. The hooks keep pulling out the plugs (or plugs out the wall).
Small
1mm type hooks don't work well with even the smallest plugs as they're
not
long/large enough to open them out.

What I do is drill a small hole and use matchsticks to fill the hole.
Then screw the hook (or whatever) in. Sometimes a blob of glue on the
screw helps as this binds with the matchstick to give a stronger grip
to the screw - almost a cast-in-situ custom rawl plug moulded to fit
the threads perfectly.

YMMV.
