are both ends of the rod bolted onto the wall? If so then what kind of curtains do I use for it?

You screw it to the wall at both ends. There are two rods. The rod on the inside I bought hooks for (separately) for drapes that had loops. The rod on the outside I put a valance which had a hole from end to end. The rods are very weak. We had to put supports in the middle to keep it from sagging which worked for us since we were just using the drapes for a boarder around our projector screen. Our drapes were also heavy.

The pulley bracket is mounted to the wall at the bottom of the curtain or blinds. The cord from the blinds or curtains is then fed through the pulley in order to keep the cord from becoming loose. Not sure what rod you are talking about.

No. It has to do with the balance of the curtain on the rod. One curtain on each side. You could try it, but I don't think you will be pleased. One side of the hook is already longer. I guess you could use the longer side to the back side to maintain the balance on the rod...

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.

It is not a huge box and it is actually a rather small rod. IF you extend it all the way? you will need to support it in the center. I am using it for a curtain rod. NOT all the way extended and not heavy curtains but I needed to support it in the center. My point was NOT to drill holes anywhere.

No - the curtain is not included. It would be very easy to purchase on of those tension curtain rods for this, otherwise you would need to figure out how to mount other types of curtain rods.Got this bed for our granddaughter and she loves it.

The pole comes with hardware to attach on the ends of the rod. We did not attach in the center; it rests securely on the bracket. We put this in our entry coat closet, and it looks nice.

Depends how long your rods. My rods are too long, maximum length: curtains trip over joint and joint has disconnected. Shorter rods no problem, I have black out curtains but not full length.

The rod is held in place at a distance you choose. So if you already had holes in the wall from your old shower bar this will work just great. You are going to love this unit. It is extremely well made.

Yes, we had to take down the curtain rod to install the shower curtain. You could get a tension rod & install it in front of the permanent rod if you wish.

I don't think the ends come off and if you completely separate the pieces, you may have a problem with the spring going back in place properly. Unless the holes are large enough for the rod to go through as is, I wouldn't use a grommet curtain. I stand corrected. Thanks Heidi!

You muct use curtain hangers which will allow removal of the curtain. Once the two rods are assembled to the walls, you can not slip off a curtain with holes.

Yes you could put regular curtain if the curtains weren't very heavy. The rods probably would hold it but you are screwing it into the ceiling and not any studs in your wall. The plastic sliders don't slide very easily where the two rods come together so moving heavy curtains very often wouldn't be a good idea. I hope this helps.

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.

You need it to stabilize the bar and because of the weight from the two shower curtains. Use a hack saw and cut the rod to proper length. It takes two people to install the set. If you don't hit a stud then use toggle bolts.

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!

Yes. The round plastic openings that came with the curtain have a slit on the side that allowed the round circles to hang onto the rod.
