I need to fit a curtain pole on patio doors - thing is, at the end of the
doors there are boxed in pipes which proturde about 5 inches from the wall -
we want the curtains to go in front of this boxed in pipework so we would
have to have the pole secured a bit further away from the wall than the
usual. anyone got any ideas on this - can you buy longer brackets for the
poles?? Any ideas / thoughts/ tips appreciated

Mount the poles from the ceiling.

Personally I'd be inclined to use a 3m 15mm copper pipe painted black, with
any complications dealt with by a pipe bender. Good for bay windows too, at
around 1/10th to 1/50th the price of the "real" thing by the time you've
bought ready made bends and proprietary brackets.
