Method for installing a covering relative to a frame of an architectural structure and associated alignment tools

A method for installing a covering relative to a frame of an architectural structure, the method comprising:

• unfolding a package defining a cavity configured to store the covering, the package including an alignment tool having a first panel defining a plurality of apertures and a second panel defining a plurality of apertures, the first panel joined to the second panel at a fold line;
• positioning the alignment tool relative to the frame such that the first panel is positioned adjacent to and extends along a vertically-extending surface of the frame and the second panel is positioned adjacent to and extends along a horizontally-extending surface of the frame, the plurality of apertures defined by the first panel identifying first mounting hole locations for the covering on the vertically-extending surface, the plurality of apertures defined by the second panel identifying second mounting hole locations for the covering on the horizontally-extending surface;
• and
• forming mounting holes in one of the vertically-extending surface at the first mounting hole locations or the horizontally-extending surface of the frame at the second mounting hole locations.
