My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Which rod would be best

7 years ago
I need 165 inch rod. Should I purchase the 120-170 or the 160-240? Would the 160-240 be stronger and less likely to sag than the 120-170 extended all the way? And would one center brace be enough? Thank you

    Hi,

    The rod will fully extend to 170" excluding the finial. In terms of strength they are the same level and comes with different number of brackets. The 120-170 inches come with 4 brackets and the 160-240 inches come with 5 brackets. If the size of the window is exactly 165 inches. We recommend getting the 160-240 inches since you need a few inches overlap with the wall.
