If you specify the weight & the maximum sag acceptable, someone here
can tell you the pipe size to use. However, heavy drapes and a 12'
span mean that the sag will probably be unacceptable for anything but
a really big pipe.


Or hide the sag with a valance box.

And trim the bottom so it looks level.
