Curtain Rod
Posted in Garden Antiques on 10/25/2009 01:05 am by adminCan i buy a really long curtain rod?
is there a such thing as a long rod to hang curtains from to cover a long wall? I know there are ones that have the springs in them that expand, but they only go so far...i need one to cover a basement wall.
If you go to a local curtain shop (not a department store) you can get made-to-measure tracks.
Most Aluminium Tracks can be made up to 6 metres (19.5 feet). They are usually stronger then those cheap extendable tracks that you get in department stores like K-mart and Target. The extendable ones I do not recommend as your curtain usually gets stuck sliding back and forth over the "join" on the track.
If you are wanting a Wooden Pole they usually go up to about 3 metres (9 feet).
While your decorator Rods (as their aluminium) you can get up to about 4-6 metres in length.
Go to your local independent curtain shop and get some made-to-measure ones.
I would suggest going for a aluminium track (as it's stronger) if you have a particularly large area.
If you got to your local curtain shop, not only can you get them made to the right size, they'll be stronger and last a lot longer.
