I have a combo rod to attach to a wall. What's the best way to anchor it so it doesn't pull out of the drywall? It will have to hold a heavy pair of thermal pleated drapes, valance and sheers.

Thanks

How far is it from the edge of the window casing. If it's right there, there should be a wall stud that you can put a screw in. If not, I would use either a molly bolt, or to be really sure it will stay up, a toggle bolt.
