thanks so much.

Perfect......we put those up last year for the same reason . I didn't know about the unthreaded pipe so we used threaded pipe and flanges on each end . Your way is much better cause to change the curtains ( have already done ) i had to remove ethier end flange from the post and unscrew the pipe out of the other flange. If i ever have to change pipes , i will look for those hanger thingies you used . 🤗

The SteelTek products are great. They have all types of fitting to build lots of stuff.

Nice work! Do you think your 3/4" pipe could span 130" (with a coupling in the center to join two equal length pieces) and no mid-span supports without undue sagging?

[@mattbodish9896]

I may have answered my own question if anyone else is interested... Steeltek specs list a 100lb load rating of the 3/4" pipe on a 10 ft span with unsupported center.

I think you would need something in the middle to hold it up.

Use magnets to keep the curtains vertical gap small.
