Thanks for posting this idea! I just hung some new curtains, the rods are adjustable and unfortunately too narrow for the set screws in the brackets to hold them so they slide when we move the curtains. I think we can use the conduit connectors to hold the rods at the length we want AND to screw the set screws into!

I like your curtains too, they are FUN

I saw your idea on HGTV and was considering it for my husband’s new football room but I need to get around a little curve for a corner window in addition to 128″ of a long span. I’m gonna give it a try. I know it will be gorgous. Thanks a bunch.

Absolutely love this idea! We live in a converted loft that once was a marble factory. We are in the unit that has what used to be the loading dock door, which is now a huge comercial window in our living room - 150 x 160. This is the perfect solution for us. Thanks for all the details and instructions. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Thank you so much for posting your “how to” guide!!! I was thinking something like this might work for the loft space my husband and I are buying but hadn’t figure out how to do it.
You just saved us so much money on custom made curatin rods!!!!

I need a curtain rod for about 25 ft, i don’t want a raw conduit pipe look, I want to pull the curtains, which will screen the sun during the summer, off to either side of the windows. So i’m thinking one center support? Any ideas?

Thank you for this idea! If you see my blog, I’m currently in the middle of a redesign of my condo. I need extra extra long curtain rods. - But your idea might just solve the problem.

Thank you again!

Lynda, I’ll let Angela know. We did have our site hacked a couple weeks ago, and this could be left over from that. Thanks for the heads up.
