Purchased new pocket drapes and I want to use the existing sheers with the drapes. I have a new rod for drapes but don't know how to proceed in hanging the hardware.

Hi and welcome to the forum! :wave: Are your sheers hanging on an existing rod and you're asking how to mount the new rod over it? Are your sheers rodpockets too? What kind of rod are they on now? What kind of rod did you buy for the new rodpockets?
The new rod needs to be outside of the existing rod (a couple inches on either side) and needs to project 2" farther out (from the wall) than the existing rod.
Sorry, but it would be easier to help if I had more info.
