We live in an area with very restricted zoning so our garage is actually our family room. The inspector liked to comment on the number of recessed lights in our garage every time he came by - and then when the built-in speakers went in he raised two (knowing) eyebrows ;-)

We have been using it as a storage area since we moved in and the looming holidays and associated house-guests have lit a fire under me to get the room in shape.

We had custom doors built that open like barn doors so that we have doors big enough to qualify as a garage but no overhead mechanisms to make it look like a garage.

I want to cover the doors with drapes to simulate a long wall of windows and I am hoping someone can help me figure out the hardware I need.

The doors are 208 inches wide - they are shorter than a pair of french doors in the same space that lead to the pool area so I am going to hang the hardware higher to match. I will be getting 6 - 54 x 95 inch panels. Does that seem like enough? 3 on each side - so 162 inches of curtain width to cover 104 inches.

My big questions is how to find rods to fit that wide a space. SHould I do two separate ones? Probably no way to do one long one unless I buy a pipe of some kind right? I want the curtains to look continuous - rather than stopping in the middle - I am not sure how to achieve this.

I really appreciate any advice.
