A plastic covered lead weight that can be placed in the hem of a curtain or sewn along the bottom. These weights are made from lead with a plastic top coating and are safe for use in a marine environment, as lead is slow to oxidize and won't rust. Place drapery weights in the bottom corners of curtains or drapes to help them hang straight. To further weight a sheer or lightweight fabric, place drapery weights every 12" along the bottom of the curtains or drapes.
