Extra long curtain rod fix
8 years ago
I just finished hanging our curtains and wanted to share my fix for needing a 14-16 ft curtain rod. I took two rods from Target with the telescoping extenders, removed the finials on one end of each and connected them together where the screw holes were with dowel screws. $2 worth of screws and two off the shelf curtain rods finished my project! Just make sure you mount a lot of support brackets and you can strengthen with gorilla glue if needed.
