where do the rods go in

The rods go into little pockets in the corners of the canopy. They will give the canopy shape; like a tent.

Inside the canopy. There is a tie where the cross. It is a lovely addition to our daughters room, I recommend it highly

Rods are placed in the top of the canopy, from corner to corner. They will overlap each other (and there is some ribbon in the center of the canopy that you can tie the two rods to to secure them) and create a slight concave shape to push the top of the canopy up a bit once it is hung from the ceiling.

Just wiggle and flex the rods a touch and they should slide in. Also make sure you pulled off the thread protectors.

The plastic tube is fairly narrow. Two rods fit well. Three would be tight. Hope that helps.

The rod joins near the elbow. It's in two.pieces. Works great, although my handy man said it was " an interesting project!"

No. The rod just rests in the holder. It depends on gravity to hold it in place.

This is good but limited. I think these rods have to be screwed in so I am assuming they would have to be by the same manufacturer. I upgraded to a more adaptable system where the rods could be adjusted by a screw grip on the sides. I gave the opteka away so don't have it anymore. I suppose the fact I got it and then gave it away and went for something else that could be adapted says it all as far as my experience is.

There is a plastic insert on each of the rod. The caps have a screw sticking out of the middle of them and they screw into the plastic insert.

depends on how you are installing the rods its a tight fit to get them in. i do one side then the other after i have them in the softbox the trick is to get them all in of course its a little tuff but you bow the rods to place them in the center bracket then its just seating the lollypop and adding the rest

If parts were missing, I suggest you return the kit and purchase a complete kit. Keeping this kit without the rods is like getting an automobile without wheels. A negative response but I hope it helps.

On mine, there were little easily overlooked pockets in three of the corners of the fabric body. You tuck the rod ends in there. The last corner has a pass through pocket that you velcro closed after insertion.

The rod should be on the side of the box, in its own slot on the side.I don't know why this seller is doing this, he did the same to me, he leaves the rod out. The rod is the most expensive part of the toy and it upset me that he left it out. Apparently he is doing it to other customers as well. I was not able to get a replacement rod from him but if you call Amazon they will refund your money.

Zamer .. it has been a while and I am up north and the unit is in our condo in Florida, but if I remember correctly, some rods have threaded inserts that the fasteners will screw into and some are just spacers with no threaded insert.. make sure that you accidenatly don't have them mixed up.. good luck (I don't have the paperwork with me .. sorry)

Yes there is something that stops the rods from going all the way through to the ground

They fit... not easily, but they fit. On mine, there is an velcro-ed sleeve for the end of the rod which can open. It makes it easier to work with the rest of the box. With the rod in the open/closed velcro-ed slot (in the open position so the rod goes through it), I work with the rest of the rods, working from outside-in. There is no easy way to do it. But, once you do it once, it seems easier.

No. For rods to connect, they would have to screw into one another. However, while one end has screw threads, the inside of the other end does not. As others have said, you'll have to get a single rod of the right length.

I'm afraid I cannot answer your question. The first time I opened the rod it stuck in the full open position and I could never close it again. I sent it back for a refund.

Each of the curlicue ends are separate pieces. After the curtain is on the pole the curlicues are screwed into the ends and the rod is placed in the hooks. The hooks to hold the rods appear to be wall hooks. Another type of hook from the ceiling would have to be devised to support the rod.
