Curtain Drape Window
Getting extendable drape rod to not move?
I just bought a good quality extendable curtain rod for my window. I placed the brackets and put everything up. The problem is when I open the curtains the rod moves and that causes the rod to essentially fall apart in the middle. How do I go about fixing this...any experience in making these work well?
If the curtain rod is attached at each end, and just that little bit of flex from opening the drapes is causing it to seperate in the middle-then the rod is too short, and the sections aren't overlapped enough.
