Use a couple of leveling clips to hold them in place

Buy the cheapo ebay ones and cut them down, I have a silverline set and they are decent.

Use a adjustable mop handle remove the mop. Or just use a clip.

2.9 Mt not long enough?

 

[Flintstone]

Miles too long!

 

[J Sid]

what size you want?

 

[Flintstone]

Average bathroom window reveal size. Sounds like cutting down might be best bet. I've always screwed into the reveal at an angle with long screws and wedged off that.

 

[J Sid]

they go from 1.6 Mt to 2.9 Mt
I've never found a window top below 1.6!
you working in a hobbit house?

Always take some 2x1 for batons or props. 1 piece is enough - starts as marking stick, then as main wall baton, then cut to hold tiles over windows.
