Can these rods extend to 120 inches without having a center bracket? Or will it sag when a curtain is hung from it?

The rod is very sturdy. We have no center bracket in ours and it is extended almost all of the way.

I only have mine at 68 inches with fairly lightweight curtains, However, at the full extension, I would definitely use a center support.

I have mine at 116" and am using the center bracket. I think with the weight of the curtains they would sag without it.

I believe the support rods are approx. 14" - 18" ... we have this at a summer cottage, so cannot just go measure for you. -- As for using on a drop ceiling, don't think that would be the best plan. there are brackets for the support rods that have to be screwed into the ceiling, and most drop ceiling material I am familiar with would seem strong enough for the long term weight or the stress of the movement of the shower curtain over time. -- It is a great system for a small space, and was very easy to cut and bend to fit the dimensions we needed.

I worked with 24' total without any problems. My gut feeling is that you could add two more sections without a problem. The rods are stout but flexible.

It is not a huge box and it is actually a rather small rod. IF you extend it all the way? you will need to support it in the center. I am using it for a curtain rod. NOT all the way extended and not heavy curtains but I needed to support it in the center. My point was NOT to drill holes anywhere.

Absolutely. I have mine on a straight rod and love it! We have a narrow bathroom, so wanted the extra light that the top of the curtain lets in, but we do not have enough space to use a curved bar. The curtain looks amazing and performs beautifully. VERY high quality and very pleased with the purchase.

Like 15" inch and if you hung them from the panel the weight of the curtain may ripped it but if you put a rod trhru a support beam may work

I do the same thing. Instead of using the long bar between each bracket, I use the smaller rod on each bracket that appears when it is extended. It works great, I can hang about 5-8 items from the smaller rod on each bracket. Then I put the bracket flush to the wall when I don't need it. Trust me, this thing is great for a laundry room.

Actually, I bought these for the rods, not the brackets. I don't believe they would fit over blinds. Even if they did, curtains could hang up on the blinds. Sorry I'm not more helpful. Good luck with this. You can always buy separate brackets for your need.

You have two choices. I believe you can hang with or without the extention rod if length is an issue.

If you can hang a regular hanger on your rod, you will be fine with this product. It measures 1.5'' (as a regular hanger)

The distance from the wall to the center of the rod mount is about 11 -3/4" . There a nice heavy bracket though.

I used two brackets for mine, but rod sags a bit in the middle. May decide to add another bracket.

It depends on how heavy the curtains will be and the length of the rod you need to buy. I bought a 96" one and put a light valence and it works fine for me. If you need to hang heavy curtains you might want to get one with a hook to support the middle to help support the weight. I hope this helps you to make your decision.

I only extended mine to 56 inches and if I had extended it any more I would have felt it necessary to use the center support and I am not using insulated curtains. In my opinion you will need to use the center support or find a sturdier six foot rod system.

It depends how wide your door is, and what size rod you bought. If it's a double door, then you'll want to add a bracket in the middle, as it'll tend to sag. These adjustable rods are made of two tubes, one of which fits inside the other, and is pushed in or pulled out to make the width you want. So there isn't the strength and rigidity you'd need to span a double door without its sagging in the middle.

Actually, joists are on either 16 or 24 inch center usually - but as long as the span is NO GREATER than about 26 inches, you should be OK. They provide you with what I am calling the joist hanger supports (cause I don't recall the exact real name) that are designed to span the 24 inch centers - and you then attach the downward hanging supports from some point in between the two joists you screwed the hanger into. If you want some photos of how I did mine (about 3 weeks ago) I am happy to send to you. I am 220 pounds and can hang from a corner - they are that well bolted up.

My daughter used this rod for heavy full length curtains at college. The curtains spanned two closet openings and this rod did not bow at all. It's really well made. I would guess that the curtains weighed 15-18 pounds but the rod could probably support twice that.
