Does this product have constant tension? In other words, does the final size of the rod make a difference in the way it has tension and holds?

The answer below echoes my experience. I use mine for curtains in my closets and have had no problems. They are great with grommet curtains too. Good luck..

Yes - it has something like an internal spring - and it always "pushes out" and that is what holds it up. The ends have something like "rubberized" caps that keep it from slipping on the tile. This is a classic design that is commonly used unless you actually want to screw the rod into the walls. It is adjustable in length by "turning the two ends". It's simple once you see it. I have used rods like this for decades in the shower and smaller, decorative ones for windows (if you put the drape inside the framing). Works well. Hope this answer helps

No, it is not a tension rod, though it is adjustable. You will have to drill holes in the walls.

I've had this about a year now. The tension gives eventually and like the other reviewer mentioned, mine sags. Even with the allen key, while it locks temporarily, it will eventually give. Sorry I couldn't be more positive about this.

It slides well enough for me, I have never had to fight with it. I don't think anything would slide perfectly seamlessly when going from the thinner end of the rod to the bigger end but these work fine for me, 100x better than the plastic rings I used before! I would recommend them.

Yes it is! That was one of my concerns as well. It is sufficient to hold the rod in place. I have had mine for 2 years now and love it!

It has a minimum tension only, it still requires some effort, like you were using about a 5 lb weight. It was also easier when I held it out at arms length, and used your other hand to stabilize it. I haven't set it any higher and it's been a couple of months.

I had a little problem pulling one end to extend, but I did it after a few tries! Lightweight rod.. I'd buy it again

Yes. You twist the rod until it is about an inch longer than the space in which you want to hang it, lock it, then compress it and slide it into place. That inch of added tension seems to hold it place very well.

Sorry im honestly not sure. I believe it will becuase the tension is fully adjustable.

The tension screw does make a difference. I had that issue at first until I tightened the tension

This is a tension rod, but because of the rubber pads and well thought out design, slippage is almost non-existent. We've been using it for months now with no problems.

it's a tension rod - you have to twist it to just about the right length, then compress to fit it into the space.

It's the 'twist tension' tyype. My husband actually used the same type of pieces that the rod slips into that are screwed into the wall that were up for the old rod so we're not really having to depend on the tension to keep it in place.

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.

It is a super easy twist length rod (kind of like a shower curtain rod) - as you twist it it it extends and the pressure of the ends holds it up. Hope that helps!
