Curtain pole, urgent help needed. Going crazy!

[JanK]

Hello, sorry wasn't sure if any of the categories were relevant to this post, but I need urgent advice because this has been driving me crazy for a few weeks now!

Basically I need a 2m chrome curtain pole set. Well 2 actually!

A first glance this should be easy. Spoke to B&Q and they are saying they only do 180cm and the 220cm available are all extendable. I don't really like the idea of those as I just want a pole to be the same diameter all the way across! They also said their metal poles could not be cut down to required size!

Can anyone just point me in the direction of a pole with all the bits. I'm going to get eyelet curtains so rings not so important. I quite like the idea of the straight ending poles - just something very minimalist if really.

Obviously I don't want one that is tacky looking or so light weight that it will snap!

Help! Need to start decorating that wall and can't until I have bought a replacement pole to avoid try and keep some privacy!

Help!!!!!

That's a 19mm diameter - too thin for eyelet. Also it's not shiny and comes in 300 length.

I did say it was just an example!

You never said in your post what diamater you wanted.

Also if you had bothered to read, you would have seen that the example I showed could be cut down with a hacksaw.

I think I'll leave you to it.....

Yes sorry should have said about diameter. Smaller poles are more suited to pleated curtains. Eyelets would be a bit odd on a skinny rod.

I did see it could be cut but 100 is rather a lot of wastage.

Lol, nope, I know what I want!! Lol.
Well I don't want the satin finish on the chrome... Nice and shiny will do me fine

Personally I'd decorate before I put the pole up!

That's what will happen but I need to have one here. I think I may buy some nets and whack them up to try and keep some privacy!
