The bracket is used to for a snap fitting between the curtain bracket and the rail. The rail is positioned over the sliding door to allow the curtains to completely conceal the sliding door. The positioning arm positions a curtain rod parallel and offset from the rail, allowing a curtain to be freely open and close. This also enables the curtain to be used in conjunction with vertical blinds. The first hanger is designed to receive a cylindrically-shaped curtain rod. A rail-receiving opening of the bracket accept the top portion of the rail. A rod-receiving opening of the first hanger allows the curtain rod to be inserted into or extracted out of the first hanger.
