Rod Desyne Heavy Duty Center Open Traverse Rod, 66-120 inch, White

I have a standard sliding glass door and options are extremely limited for windows coverings. I despise vertical blinds so I made a simple cornice board to hide this drapery rod. It can be fabric covered, wood or molding.Must use pleated curtains to look full and luxurious when closed. The unit I bought has a center draw. Meaning it meets in middle and opens with drapes stacked evenly on each side. It also has an extension 'arm' so your drapes will slightly overlap with no center gap.This application will make the slider look much larger as the drapes stack about 20" on each side when open covering awkward wall space. If you choose thinner curtains for a kitchen, it will provide privacy and still let light in. Or you can go full blackout mode for bedrooms or temperature control. Stick with neutral, contemporary fabrics and these will NOT look dated! Depending on total width, you may need to sew multiple panels together or order wider curtains.The drapery unit operates smoothly using a corded loop which is fastened to the wall. All hardware included. Hang curtains with drapery hooks. The hardest part is install due to size. There's pertinent info in the directions so please read first. Also, get the sizing and the unit working BEFORE you install. Lots of info on YouTube if you need help.

For a long curtain rod supporting heavy drapes it’s doing a great job!! And it was delivered right to my house no struggling with awkward packaging for me.

Easy for my elderly grandfather to use!

The drapery rod arrived in a box protected by foam on both ends. All parts were in plastic and there were additional screws and drywall anchors included. The rod went up easily enough but the directions weren't all that clear. I felt the pictures could have been better. I was able to attach to the wall into studs so I do feel the rod is very secure. There are plenty of hangers and a long length of cord to accommodate the extended length of the rod. I would recommend this item.

Arrived on time with no damage.I installed this traverse rod over a 10 foot bank of windows in my vintage home. I like the way the track drops into the side brackets and locks lateral movement. The kit comes with 3 support brackets, I only needed 2 for my 10-foot span and the track feels sturdy.The instructions were a bit misleading for centering the moving parts, but once you figure it out it's actually pretty easy. Having a second person to hold the pull cord still while you make adjustments may be helpful.I hung the following curtains which are fairly heavy and everything seems to work smoothly:"Frelement Pinch Pleat Curtains for Traverse Rod Blackout Lining Energy Saving Sun Blocking Drapes for Sliding Glass Door, Kitchen Windows, Burgundy Red, 72" W x 102" L, 1 Panel"

Easy to install. I did a 95” rod by myself. It took some time, but mission accomplished and I was so pleased with the results.

It was hard to understand the directions for installing. Getting the traverse rod to open in the center. Thank goodness for my son and u tube.We got it working am grateful!

Like the pinch pleated curtains and it works great
