my windows are 60" wide, would this rod give enough clearance at the end for the brackets and caps, or should I go for the wider set, please advise

I purchased both the single and double rods. My double window was 72 inches with plenty of room. The single were your standard 36 wide. Depending on were you need to mount the brackets I would say the double, I have one window the single was too short and the double is too long, but I have at least a 3 inch over hang. I plan on moving the brackets out so the window will look wider but I haven't had time to compete, and I have plenty of curtain to cover the extra rod. I hope this helped.

The window width we covered with the smaller set is 50". I would suggest getting the wider set. I think you'll be happy with the drapes. They do a very good job of keeping the light out.

I would go with the wider set. I don't know how heavy your drapes are, but you might need a middle bracket with windows that wide. I have 36" windows and have extended them about 2" from the bracket on the sides. They are nice rods and the rings are nice also! Hope they work out for you!

I put a 48" set on it and it looks great. I think a 60" would look out of proportion.

The rod can be bent and straighted as you lower it into the water heater. Therefore you don't need much clearance. I had 24", but you could get by with much less.

There are different rod lengths available. I bought a 30" set of dowels separate from the frame to accommodate a very large project and I got them all through amazon.

My brackets were also porcelain, built into the wall, but just under one inch to a side of the opening. The rod was 3/4 inch thick. It works well but is slightly smaller than the original, so there is some "wiggle room." With your size opening I'd look for a rod that is 1 inch square for a closer fit. This one would probably work though, if the space around it doesn't bother you..

The shelf itself is 36" wide, and the mounting brackets can be used generally anywhere inside that space, but on both ends there is a thin metal rod that runs length wise to hold all the panels of the shelf together, those rods are 1 inch in on both sides, which means the space available for you to use for the mounting brackets is a little less than 34" total. Hopefully that info will help you figure out if you can mount it around that window like you want, but I'm guessing it won't fit well.

Just be sure that your brackets are in good solid backing and or use wall anchors the large screw-in type. The rod itself is good.

There are no rods, you use tacking nails to secure it to your door frame. You will have to make adjustments to this product no matter what, but it should be fine for the width.

Mounting brackets are totally adjustable on the width, you can space them at any width. Wider is always best.

The max front to rear spacing on the brackets is about 18 inches. The max width could be about 58 inches if you had something that big. You might have a weight issue with something that large I suspect!

I have two set of saw horses with these brackets. One set is 66" wide. The only thing I can suggest is to make sure the lumber fits snugly into the brackets and is firmly seated.

61" is the center of the mounts on mine. I have to bend the poles in a bit when I put it on but I don't think you could bend them in much further than 61". 64" should be just fine.

I wound up not using them only because my sister gave me a set she had that was somewhat different. If I used them, I would use two per window, just a little more security. Don't know about the 1940s double hung window, but they should work as they swing open to let the window open and close. Make sure gap between two windows isn't too wide. Also, I had an earlier pair that had a brass rod that held all parts together, not good. The rod kept slipping through holes; best if hinge is fixed or stable, rather held together by tension rod.

It depends on how you will be mounting it. If you are mounting the rod using the side walls of the closet, you don't need to purchase anything extra. If the ends of the rods/shelving will not be butted up against the side walls of the closet, you will need those extra brackets. I mounted my system in a 33" wide closet. Since it touches 3 walls, I didn't need the extra/separate brackets. It comes with everything you need in that case.

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.

Hi Fiona, I have this item. Here are some rough measurements for you. The bracket looks like it will expand to about 43" wide. The exhaust hose looks like it could expand to about 4', maybe 4.5'. It connects to the unit about halfway up, so if your windows are higher than about 2.5' off the ground, keep in mind that some of the hose length is going to be taken up by stretching up to the window itself. It's a great unit though, overall.
