A complete system is specified from the selected mount, support, ends, panel attachment and wand.
Plan your straight rod
Select the details below so we can prepare the correct system.
1. Size
Enter the total finished width, up to 192″. Wall-mounted rods over 96″ with a center-opening pair include two joined sections, a center bracket ($25) and a splice assembly ($10). Each section is no longer than 96″.
2. Mount and ends
For installation between two finished walls, see the Inside Mount Strap Rod.
3. Drapery and operation
Rings are required for pinch-pleat styles only. No rings are required for grommet, tab-top or rod-pocket drapery. For ripplefold drapery, order one of our tracks.
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 can I keep outdoor draperies from blowing around?
Our draperies have three layers of fabric in the hem, with small weights at seams and corners to help them hang neatly. When panels aren’t in use, we recommend gathering them with tiebacks secured to a wall or post.
We do not recommend tying the bottoms tightly to the floor. This can create a sail effect, placing extra strain on the drapery, header and mounting hardware during strong gusts.
For additional weight, we can sew a bottom pocket for a light, appropriately sized 316L stainless steel chain. This allows the panel to move while helping reduce flutter.
If floor restraints are necessary, we can discuss reinforced ½″ grommets and bungee cord connected to suitable floor anchors. These flush lift rings illustrate the style; suitability must be confirmed for your installation.
Weights and restraints do not make draperies windproof. Please contact us before adding either option.
How do I measure for this rod?
Measure the intended finished width and record the space beyond both sides of the opening. For a between-walls installation, see the Inside Mount Strap Rod. Confirm return depths for any French pole end.
When is a center bracket needed?
Rods longer than 96″ require a center bracket to prevent bowing. We automatically supply a center bracket with every rod over 96″. On joined rods, the center bracket supports the splice. No span between brackets may exceed 96″; additional supports may be needed for longer rods.
How is this straight rod installed?
Mark matching bracket positions, fix into adequate structure, slide rings or panels onto the tube before closing inaccessible ends, and clamp the rod after checking alignment. For a joined rod, seat the splice over its center strap bracket.
Open the complete installation and measurement guide with drawings.
Which drapery styles can I use?
Rings are required for pinch-pleat styles only. No rings are required for grommet, tab-top or rod-pocket drapery. For ripplefold drapery, order one of our tracks.
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.
Internal straight-rod checkout test
Admin test only. Selected finishes, optional rings, wands and quantity are priced on the server. Finished rods up to 96″ are enabled; longer systems require a custom design quote.
