Sorry, been a few days since I've had a chance to check in. Les917, I'm trying desperately to avoid something I have to paint. I've gone down that road, and it wasn't pretty! I can find TONS of double rods in other colors, but I'm searching & searching for something that's "ready to go". $150 for just the brackets, that I have to paint myself, is a bit steep considering what it's being used for, too. Wow, I had no idea brackets could cost so much. But I will certainly peruse the site a bit more and see what else they have. Thanks for the point in that direction! monkeyjac, those are the "industrial" type metal ones I was referring to. I need a deocrative rod. I figured tons of people here might have secret curtain rod resources, but maybe this is more of a universal challenge than I expected. :) I continue the search...

Wood closet dowling. I think it might come in a 2"diameter, and up to 10'-12' in length. It's sold by the foot at Home Depot or Lowe's. I've used it several times for heavier draperies which were lined ans quite wide, and it worked like a charm. It's much cheaper than an extra large store bought rod. You will also need to buy brackets for the ends as well as one in the middle. I use wood ones which are sold in the drapery hardware department. You can also paint or stain your rods/brackets, moreso the brackets since they will show.

This one goes to 240", https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/revel-adjustable-window-curtain-rod-set-in-black/3247792?poc=211183 For custom there is this on Etsy, https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/AdyEscalante?ref=listing-shop2-all-items-count&section_id=11691672
