I'm using this tension rod (over 96" long) to hold 2 linen panels.....The rod has been in service for nearly one year. No problems. The panels are lt. weight.....but perhaps your valances are too. The rod is good-looking & well made----not flimsy.

Marilyn, we purchased this rod to give us some privacy in our sunroom. This rod is the bomb! It was just what we needed to keep us for buying room dividers. I think you will enjoy this product.

it doesn't hold very well on the wall, too flimsy. To work properly, it would need to be screwed to the wall. Sorry~

I had to have a middle support with rod at about 110" with very lightweight drapes.

I don't know if I understand the question. In general, I bought this rod in order to install it in an apartment I rent, so I don't want to make holes in the walls. It used it almost to its max and it has been working pretty well so far. It has been more than a year since I installed it and have a pretty heavy curtain hanged of it, and I'm pretty satisfied. It does have a small "belly" from the tension. It comes with a small ceiling safety object, so you could use that to eliminate the problem, but that would require some holes in the ceiling. I didn't use it, and that's fine.

Yes, this will work. I used the tension rod to drape heavy drapery across 110" (to conceal the garage door). Due to weight of curtains it sagged, so I had to request the center piece bc it wasn't included in my shipment. They shipped it immediately no charge. I recommend if no screws is what you want. Also, I recommend plastic wrap on ends until you get it in place bc ends tend to scuff wall paint.

I worked as a Interior decorator for years and with a window of that size you will need 2 valances so the effect of your window treatment is not flat. You want some fullness to your valance!

I did not end up keeping this item, but as I recall it protruded a "normal" amount - about 2-3 inches. Sorry for being vague but I thought it might be a help to you if no one else answered. I did not keep the rod because it was too flimsy to hold up a medium weight curtain across a 108 inch window without sagging in the middle, if that helps, too.

It is an extension rod so can be put up easily and taken down. I use lace curtains on it so don't know about the weight of black out shades but have had no problem with it staying up with the long length of the rod. I do find that it does leave black marks on my walls so you might want to coat the ends.

The rod expands from anywhere between 41" and 72" by twisting. Just twist it and it slowly lengthens to the width you want. I'm not sure how easy it is to shorten it once it's been "opened", but it can be shortened a little bit in order to make it fit your space should you go too far. The circumference of the bar is approximately 3 1/4"; the end cap is about 4 1/2" around and the diameter of the bar (from which you would hang things) is approximately 1" to 1 1/4".

Hi Terri, I don't have the instructions anymore. The best thing to do is to group the rods according to lengths. Look at the pictures of the cottage carefully, maybe draw a diagram yourself and try to guess which rod lengths will go to which area. The rods form the frame in which you drape your cottage fabric over. You should have 2 house shaped frames. Drape the cottage fabric over the outside of the frame first then align or fit the inner cottage fabric (yes, ita a double layer) and zip up. Try to fix this up. It is really worth your while.

Hi Jennifer: I have a 72 inch bedroom window, and had to add two valances to the first two. (I don't remember if order came with one or two panels. I have four panels all together) Having four gave me a very nice gathering and am extremely happy with them, and my bedspread, which I use, one side for Winter and turn it over for Summer. Love it. I hope this helps with your buying choice.

I'm not exactly sure my window is a little over 30 so I found a rod that you can adjust to over 40 and it's pretty good if it bunches in the middle or on the sides a bit I don't mind because the other curtains hide it. My advice is measure your window where you would put the rod and take it from there.

There are no rods, you use tacking nails to secure it to your door frame. You will have to make adjustments to this product no matter what, but it should be fine for the width.

I don't know. I only have a valance on mine. Perhaps you could put a support in the center. I DO know that it looks great!

These are not tension rods so you can't just place them in the frame of the window without drilling and bolting them. It would defeat the purpose of having security bars if they are not securely fastened. I cannot imagine what bars would work without drilling, either inside the window frame or in the wall. Hope this helps.

It has been some time and really don't remember. I think there were 2 different tension rods (metal). It's nicely up on the wall, so I don't want to move it to check connectors. The directions are not good, and I went to youtube and looked up a fast simulation of someone putting it together. That was invaluable. I would slow it down, which made it take about 2 hours to put together on my own. The tension rods and snaps/connectors were quality made, and the screen is perfect tension (tough enough to put on, but not too tough) and no creases at all in the seams. With hd projector and surround system, infinitely better than any plasma/lcd much smaller size for much more $ It has been some time and really don't remember.

3/4 yd to make 1 valance= 18 inches plus 5 inch top hem & 3 inch bottom hem. For 2 valences you need 1 1/2 yds. Fold 1/2 inch under and best to iron seams first for easier sewing.

I don't feel that the tension rod is heavy enough to hold much weight. It is great for valences or sheer curtains. I would definitely go with a more substantial rod for handing coats.

The limitation of 156" is pretty obvious when I pieced the 3 sections together. You may find an extension for this type of pocket rod which can give you the desired length.

I purchased a connector set from Bed Bath & Beyond that works with this type of curtain rod. I purchased it in-store but here is a link for the item on their website: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/springs-window-fashions-bay-window-conversion-kit/1016470694?Keyword=dauphine or if you don't want to use the link go to the Bed Bath and Beyond website and do a search on "bay window conversion kit". Good luck!

I made a casing and inserted a tension rod through it and hung it in the window. It worked fine
