Kelly's possibilities
This looks very sturdy.
This is an interesting "look" with the stainless pole and rings.
Pleated drapes would look more formal, structured. But would require a lot more fabric to accomplish the same objective and would be more bulky when open all the way.
Here's the grommet style. I have no experience with how durable these are. I suspect that daily use would cause the fabric to pull out of the grommet. Although I like the "look" not durable enough.
Another study option. You would get drapes that have a top placket then get rings that clip on. That's what we have. Sturdy for daily use.
Here's a metal pole with large rings ... looks very sturdy for everyday use.
This is extreme compared to what you want to do but shows drapes being used to cover patio doors.
