Can you use rod pocket curtains or must the rod be fixed to the wall so that curtains cannot be slipped on and off?

It will be fixed to the wall. Sorry this wont work well with rod pocket curtains. I suppose if you feel like unscrewing it from the wall on one side to change it out or laundry it, you can plan on that.

You attach the bases to the wall and then the rod itself is fixed in place with a couple of screws. Each time you wanted to change the curtain, you would have to remove the screws from the rod that attach it to the bases. Not terribly hard but if you wash the curtain a lot it could become tiresome.

The bar's not hard bolted to the wall, but it would be troublesome to remove it to change the curtain out with any frequency.

The ends do not come off that I could tell, and I fear if you forced it apart in the middle you would no longer be able to adjust the length, or you would lose your tension, since that is where the spring mechanism is, and since you have to twist it to adjust you might also strip the threads inside ruining the rod. If you have a curtain that the pocket is too small to go over the ends I would suggest stylish curtain hooks or shower rod hooks, or if possible use the larger hem at the bottom of the curtain.

The finials are pretty small, about 2 inches. The grommet curtains I got tended to come off the end, so I captured the last grommet between the end of the rod and the finial and haven't had any trouble with the curtains coming off the rods. The size of the finials might not be a problem if you get a different type of curtain or a curtain with a smaller grommet. They really look nice for the price, so I don't mind having to get a bit creative.

The rod is a "tension style" rod (very similar to a shower curtain tension rod), nothing permanently attaches to the wall surfaces; daily removal possible.

That's exactly what it was designed to do. If your curtains have a hanging loop sewn into one end, just slide the horizontal bar through the loop, and set it onto the upright poles. If not, then a package of inexpensive clamps will hold any fabric in place. This is what I use: Cheaplights 6 PCS 3.75" Spring Clamps

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.

Hi, I would recommend an oval rod in your case. The D rod will sit approx one inch off of the wall and you will have a problem with your curtain if your tub is 6 inches off of the wall. Thanks, Kathy

Yes, connect one whole straight piece on the short side of the curved part and about 6" on the long side of the curved part. Use a fingernail file to smooth the any burres at the joints and the curtain will glide smoothly along tho whole rod. Enjoy.

I removed the inside rod and have both inside and outside curtains together and is working quite well. I got the black tree for my outside curtain and love it. Have no problems with the one staying in and the other out. Love it. We have it mounted to the fiberglass shower and seems to be doing just fine. The holes look like would be about 2" as mine has a cover over them as I got the double rod. Hope that helps

I put all of them on the rod first, then I added the curtain. I had a little trouble closing them back up, but I have bad grip in my hands. I think they are well worth it. Hope this helps.

This rod is designed to be used on a metal surface. It does have a magnet AND double-sided sticky tape on both ends, however I do not think the tape would be sufficient to hold the rod up unless you have a VERY LIGHT sheer curtain.

The mounting hardware is not welded to the rod. The brackets can be located anywhere along the rod. You just have to make sure that the curtains will cover the left/right edges of the window. The curtains cannot slide beyond the mounting hardware.

The rods have Velcro placed on them and when you pull frame off to put fabric on it holds fabric in place as you roll to tighten fabric.Mine came with additional Velcro.

Yes, they are a rod pocket install. However, you could buy some of those curtain clips with the rings attached and clip them on the top and then they'd slide easily. Also, be aware that the background of these is not white like they appear in the photo. They have a greenish-yellow tinge to them that surprised me. It's not unattractive, but I prefer white sheers because they let in more light.

It's fixed. Like the person stated below, one end has a thread to tighten towards the wall. We had to cut two inches off the rod as it was too long to fit between the walls. But after that, just align it to the walls and give it a hard twist on the threaded end until it doesn't move....it fell off twice before I got it tight enough (pretty scary when you hear it smash to the floor middle of the night ;) Oh, I also taped around the edges of the cut end before putting the cap on it. It gave it a more secure feel since my cut wasn't too straight and the end was sort of jagged and sharp.

only if the walls and windows are metal. contrary to other answers I have curtains on mine and they do NOT slide down.

Yes. All you do is twist the ring over the rod and it's on! Never any need to take down the rod. In my opinion, this is the best design ever. Easy, very easy to hang up your curtain.
