Day + Night?The length and thickness of the rod and the weight of the curtain are important factor to consider if the metal will sink down over period.I diy too. My curtain are 6kg each side, full length, living room. My rod are at least 1.7mm thick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like 1/2" galvanized water pipe and elbow (with a coat of paint). I only cannot tell you where to get the flange that mounts to the wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

w7_lee 11 Report post Posted September 16, 2014 Sorry for the double post, not sure why it refuse to let me edit my first post. Anyway, you can get the pipe & elbow from piping hardware shop (normally in industrial park). They can cut the pipe to your desired length. But I think it is easier with the Ikea or Spotlight off the shelve design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donde Fan 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2014 W7_lee is right. This is just galvanised steel pipe. Easy to get. I even seen it at hardware stores. Just buy the length and join. I suspect Loft or so call industrial design are difficult to maintain in the long. Say 10-20 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
