However, equally important is how the curtain hardware is installed.
Below is one example of how to properly install a curtain rod on your patio on a stucco finish.
The key is making sure you have a stable surface for the curtain rod hardware to attach to.
Attaching a wood cleat will significantly increase the sturdiness of the surface for the hardware to attach to.
In the picture below we are using 4inch lag bolts with a washer, spaced (approx. 24inches) evenly across the distance of the opening. These are securely fastened to the studs in the patio framing.
Once in place, it's important to adequately caulk around the edges to prevent moisture from getting in behind the wood cleat. The caulk also provides a nice clean finish once it's painted.
Now the curtain rod hooks securely mounted to the cleat with wood screws and the cleat is painted to match the stucco.
