Hold your horses, i think ikea changed the system, they now include the ceiling mounts but only the bottom part, which by the looks of it, screws on directly into the ceiling as people were complaining about the mounts sliding out while pulling curtains.

Wow you made this look so easy I had no idea i was supposed to purchase additional brackets 😩 I’ve been trying to figure this out for days thank you

Where did you find the ceiling brackets ? I have been looking for them but can not find it !

I’m not crazy. I installed a 15’ by 9’ IKEA laundry cabinet system but cannot see how to mount this to the ceiling. No brackets. Drove 1 hour to the store… no brackets. So how does this work? I get the slide mechanism… but this doesn’t go to the ceiling.

Thank you! It is really helpful!

Super helped!!! Thank you!

Thanks my friend. This is very helpful

Thank u this was great!!!

Gosh these rails are absolute nightmare, no explanataion whatsover from ikea. Thank you!!!

Thank you! I have really high floor to ceiling windows and need a way to cover them.

I'm in the UK and I don't have the ceiling brackets in the pack. Looking at the menial, you only need the little lever bracket. It mounts to the ceiling with a washer so it can layer rotate.

I didn’t know Mark Ruffalo make how-to videos. I really appreciated it. Like everyone else said, the package instructions are possibly the worst ikea has ever produced

It's the little details. thank you!!!!

Do you know the part number for the small ceiling mount base. I can not find it on Ikea

Super helpful!

Very nice!

Does this require power tools, or just a screw driver would be fine ?

Where did you buy the wall mount clips? I have been trying to install these rods since December and Ikea has not been able to help. Their installation video on their website does not even include the mount but it is definitely needed.

At the time I installed this system, more than a year ago, all pieces were sold separately. Six months later, they were sold in kits for either ceiling or wall mounted, different brackets. The wall brackets appear to be available in the kits. I have not seen or heard of the ceiling brackets for some time.

Is there a weight limit on this rail? Thinking about using it for a heavy winter curtain.

How in gods name did you get the clips to slide into the ceiling mount? Seems simple enough but both of my pieces will NOT slide in so I can’t go any further with installation until I force them in with a hammer!

I just purchased mine a week ago (January 2022) It came with all the items needed. I did not have to purchase anything else. Based on the front cover of your manual, which also is slightly different, more parts are included as well. So it may be based on when you last purchased your item.

I have vent covered sections in my ceiling to access shut-off valves so I was able to see where some are. Typically they are run 16 or 24 inches apart. I think 16 is more common, so you could guesstimate the measure from one end of the wall. Lightly tap in a picture hanging nail, they are black with a brass top, very thin and make a barely noticeable hole, to see if you hit a joist.

According to manual we don't need those pieces that goes into ceiling. I couldn't find any in the store either....
