Can a straight tension rod be used without compromising the look of the curtain or how it performs?

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.

Yes and no. First, this curtain is great; I really like the mesh window along the top. I have tension rod and it has a "break" in the center which inhibits smooth movement of the curtain just a little. Certainly a mounted rod without the break would be better.

Yes, I used a 1 inch rod. Word of warning: I used Levolor brackets similar to these through out my house with no problem. The ones I received are not like the ones pictured. The bracket vertically instead of horizontal to the wall mount. As a result the weight of the rod and curtains will pull on the bracket, forcing the horizontal bottom edge of the bracket into the drywall. Brackets that have vertical supports are much more stable and can hold the weight combined weight of curtain and rod.

The rod is straight with a short, adjustment collar on one end and a non-adjustable collar on the other end. The straight pipe may have to be cut to fit your application. The adjustable collar allows about an inch of adjustment.. There is no step caused by one rod sliding inside another rod to provide adjustment, which is a design most other tension rods use. The shower curtain hanger slides easily from one end of the rod to the other.

This rod is designed to be straight only, it does not have flexible connectors. The overall quality is very good!

I don't feel that the tension rod is heavy enough to hold much weight. It is great for valences or sheer curtains. I would definitely go with a more substantial rod for handing coats.

Yes! of course. The Curtain rod is adjustable and can be adjusted to fit YOUR NEED. iF YOUR CURTAIN FITS THE REGULAR SIZED cURTAIN ROD, THEN YOU SHOULD BE JUST FINE.

Yes, any standard sized shower curtain can be used. The advantage of this curved rod, is that it adds a little more elbow room to an otherwise narrow shower.

I am sorry but I cannot answer as I am not knowledgeable enough. It is a very nice rod and works really well for me. I use a liner on one and then a decorative curtain on the outside.

This is a very good tension rod. It only fell down once when I hung wet towels on it. If it only needs to hold a shower curtain and liner, it does just fine. But if you need to hang laundry to dry on it, get a screw mount.

Yes you could put regular curtain if the curtains weren't very heavy. The rods probably would hold it but you are screwing it into the ceiling and not any studs in your wall. The plastic sliders don't slide very easily where the two rods come together so moving heavy curtains very often wouldn't be a good idea. I hope this helps.

We installed the rod in June using a very heavy curtain ann liner. The rod has worked very well. Directions are essential to getting a tight fit

No, this will not work. One of the tension rods is 10.5 inches. You might consider putting 2 screws across from each other and a hose to connect them like those oxygen hoses people wear to help them breathe. I bet you could get some free from any hospital. They throw them out all of the time and it is flexible enough to put your curtains onto one end and then push it into the other head of the screw. Just an idea: )Therese

This is a tension rod. They make small rods that you have to nail the hanger to the wall then you can use the rod.Use a sash rod.. SASH CURTAIN ROD FOR DOOR PANELS #820 - 11" TO 19"

My son has the same screen room and he fixed a heavy wire across the whole sunny side of his screen room and he used a shower curtain with shower hooks to slide it open and closed. The shower curtains now look just like regular curtains and it really looks nice and it is weather proof too. I don't think a curtain rod would work as it would be a little too heavy. I used the roll up blinds in mine that are hung with little hooks.....Try either idea....

I wondered the same thing but I have not had any problem with using the curtain. It is very durable and has not ripped.

I pull a 6 ft grommeted black out curtain across this rod without a middle bracket. I suspect a lined drape could bow the rod.

You need a vice and a hack saw....mark the spot on the rod you would like to cut and discard....clamp the rod in a vice; using the hack saw cut the rod...on our corner shower curtain rod I used two vertical rods to give additional strength...it has been working just fine....IWD
