    Don't use adhesive. Use the Rawlplugs and Screws that should have come with the pole, they're not great but they'll do. How many brackets came with the pole, was it 3? Is the pole extendable? What length do you want the pole? How wide is the window? If you let me know I'll tell you what spacing to use. Do you have a drill? You're going to need one.

    if you need to cut the pole to length make sure to do it in the middle of both poles and take the same off both poles, that way the joins stay in the middle over the middle supprt and so are hidden. I speak from experence..:)
