Vesta Apollo Metal Curtain Rods are sleek and contemporary. Create a custom look with these 1 1/8" diameter steel metal curtain rods and finials. Metal tubing is sold in 4, 6 and 8 foot increments. Just enter your exact measurement needed and order enough feet to cover that rounded up to the closest size. For extra long lengths order a tube splice.--Due to freight length limitations, poles exceeding 8 feet have to be shipped motor freight and thus incur significant additional freight charges. To save on shipping, a pole splice is recommended for rod lengths exceeding 8 feet.-Corvus By-Pass and End Brackets can be combined with C-Rings to create a traversing curtain rod system that allows continuous movement of your window treatments across the complete length. In other words, the by-pass bracket allows the curtains to pass over the center bracket for right or left draw curtains.
