We covered our own PELMETS, I had never done it before, keep the corners tidy and don't be afraid of throwing a few extra staples in to make it neat.....we did three pelmets and not one of them were the same, besides once the pElMeTs are up you can't see the staples

Is it important to use stainless staples Derek?
Cheap boat seats look terrible when ordinary staples start rusting.
Using a MH in winter might encourage rust with the extra moisture.

[Dot]

Ok we shall give it our best , the corners are real bastards

Dot, remember the folds when you made the beds in the hospital.
Same thing just fold back away from the front so you don't see the folds as much.
You could remove some of the material inside the fold if it is two bulky.

I cannot remember how we did ours when we did the house, but as Brian says a good mitring should sort it
