Extra Long Curtain Rod

5 years ago

Can anyone recommend a place to get extra long curtain rods (longer than 144")? We have three sets of sliding doors that need curtains, but I can't seem to find any rods longer than 144". I did find one on Amazon, but reviews weren't great. Thanks.

Dowel rods, PVC, aluminum pipe? Brackets and pipe can be painted to match.

Oh, lucky you, because there's a perfect solution. Here's what you do. Get 2 curtain rods, say from Bed Bath &Beyond, and get one of those double-threaded screws, and screw 2 long rods together, of course using a support bracket where the screw is. I recall that BB&B sells those screws in the drapery department. But if not, surely you can google an easy source.

Writersblock and Kirkhall, thanks. I'd found signature hardware and the extensions and the *really* long rods, and they are my backup plans. There's also a company (maybe signature hardware itself) that will create a "custom" rod by cutting down other rods, but I haven't been able to find a double rod so far... The cable curtain rod is an interesting idea....will have to look into whether it would rust! Thanks again, BF

Mine are Cambria that I bought at BB&B, see link below. They're on sale now. I needed 9 for each panel, so I had to buy three packs of 7. The panels are from Pottery Barn that I've had for a couple of years. All they come with is a rod pocket and I hated how they bunch up on the rod, plus very hard to open and close. With the rings, it's very easy to make adjustments and they slide along the rod effortlessly. The way I have them you can just see the tops of the rings. I did this because I was too lazy to re-hem them. :) Here is a link that might be useful: Cambria curtain rings

A few years ago we did something similar. I found an extra long liner at walmart, of all places. It's carried in stores & online, or at least was back then. Under $10. Extra long liner. Standard is 70" or 71" long, this one is 78".

Thanks! The color is SW Luau Green. I chose it to coordinate with my Le Creuset dutch oven in Lemongrass (and anyone who wants to give me more pieces of Le Creuset is welcome to!)

Sorry I don’t know how to link. We bought from Amazon this rod. Sturdy and nice looking. You will need to use the supports.

You might try Ikea. The longest rod ($6.99) extends to 152", but you can take it past 200" if you buy 2 of them and use both of the larger rod halves with one of the smaller rods inserted between them. Support brackets and finials must be purchased separately (black, white, or gray), but all the pieces are inexpensive and can be ordered online. Ikea also has other types of drapery hardware with even longer runs, but I haven't used any other than the basic rods. Hugad curtain rod
