Plan your French pole
Select the details below so we can prepare the correct system.
1. Size
For a long rod, choose the final finished width first. Sections and supports are planned so no span between brackets exceeds 96″.
2. Mount and ends
The standard French pole has a wall return at each end. Measure the finished face width and each return depth; elbow takeoff and cut lengths are confirmed before fabrication.
3. Drapery and operation
With no rings, choose grommet, tab-top, or rod-pocket panels. Where a supported joint must be crossed, matched open bypass rings and bracket hardware are required; ordinary closed rings stop at the support.
The 48″ stainless wand is the premium choice. The attachment for either wand is confirmed with the panel design.
4. Configuration details
Tell us if furniture, a nearby wall, or limited stackback space affects the opening direction.
Working price breakdown
Rings are optional and priced separately. Added support and freight rates are confirmed with the final quote. Ordering stays unavailable while those prices are verified.
Frequently asked questions
How do I measure for this rod?
Measure the intended finished width and record the space beyond both sides of the opening. Confirm the available return depth and wall conditions at both ends.
Can one end finish at an inside wall?
Yes, a one-sided French pole can be made as a custom arrangement when the opening calls for it. We will show one example here after the mounting image is approved. Contact us with the finished opening and wall details so we can confirm the appropriate end fitting.
When is a center support needed?
No bracket-to-bracket span may exceed 96″. A longer rod needs enough supports for its total length, with every tube joint supported. The substrate and drapery load may call for additional support.
How is this French pole installed?
The elbow joins the one-inch tube to a short projection and a matching wall base. The Tee Rail forms a compatible center bracket. Fix each base to suitable structure, keep the joint supported, and verify that rings or panels move as intended.
Open the complete installation and measurement guide with drawings.
Which drapery styles can I use?
Pleated drapery can hang from rings. Grommet, tab-top and rod-pocket panels travel directly on the rod without rings. Check the heading, mounting clearance, ring order and panel stack before fabrication.
Which wand can I choose?
Choose no wand, a clear acrylic wand, or the premium stainless steel wand. The stainless wand is offered in 48″ only. Confirm the correct attachment and quantity for the selected panel arrangement.
What fasteners are supplied?
Plumridge supplies rust-proof screws in the selected finish. The installer selects suitable anchors for the actual structure and load. A stud or sound blocking is preferred where available; drywall, masonry, soft metal and structural steel each require their appropriate fixing method.
