Default Fitting Roller Blinds

I'm about to buy some roller blinds for fitting inside the window recess.

To avoid drilling into the steel lintels, does anyone know if it's possible
to buy blinds in which the brackets fit onto the side walls of the recess
rather than the top of the recess?

Thanks, Paul

I helped a friend fit some like this over the weekend - I think the
brackets could be fitted either way (2 sets of holes).

They were pretty cheap ones and I assume that they just came from one of
the big DIY stores.

Argos have them but you may have to cut them to size
Also Ikea have them too
