We have a very wide living room window and want to get rid of the
horrific vertical blinds that are there now, put in simple sheers, with
a plain curtain rod.

The window is about 9'11" which means with 4" overlap on each side we
need a 10'7" pole.


use the 10 footer and add short extension to one or both ends.
Could be as simple as driving a wooden dowel into pipe.

I just put up two 11' rods - bamboo, wood rings stained to match. Can
use wood dowels joined with double-ended screws, pvc pipe, plain iron
rod. 11' bamboo rod was about $25. Sewing drapes and the darn fabric
is so heavy it is more like major construction ) Bamboo sources might
be limited outside of Florida - got it's own category in the yellow book
here. )
