HOW TO MAKE CURTAIN RODS FOR PATIO and INSTALL OUTDOOR CURTAINS

[@JohnCRV]

I made curtain rods for our patio using PVC pipes, I will show how the curtains look hanging up as well. They are perfect to block the sun and for privacy.

[@ActNaturally]

sounds like a good idea,

[@janevance6637]

How have those curtain held up?. I'm concerned about mildew. Thanks

[@JohnCRV]

@@janevance6637 They are holing up very well after a year and no mildew. I'm really impressed with these outdoor curtains.

I just came across this! I rent and have a small patio but it’s very open to everyone, as I am in the first floor. I was trying to think of a good way to hang outdoor curtains without a lot of major work and this video was perfect! Inexpensive and easy to remove when I’m ready to leave. Thanks for sharing!!

[@JohnCRV]

That is awesome! Glad it helped.

[@samoanirwin]

Thank you John; great ideas, we went to our local Colorado home depot and got several 1/2” x 10’ 600 PSI Schedule 40 PVC for $2.91, Ook 2-1/4” white vinyl cup hook 10 pack for $5.98, we went with 1/2” x 72” zinc threaded rod for $10.46 which was even more rigid and thicker than the 3/8” but fit perfectly with the 1/2” PVC. I also bought several Dura 1/2” schedule 40 PVC caps for $0.56 each for the ends of the PVC Pipes. Thank you again as we loved the idea and it worked great for us.

[@JohnCRV]

Glad it helped and great improvement.

Thanks John! These are the type of KZbin videos that remind me why KZbin was originally create. Thank you for sharing - I will use this same template on my apartment balcony.

Thanks so much for this simple and easy solution for hanging patio drapes! The steel rod inside to strengthen the rods is great!

[@JohnCRV]

I'm glad it helped. Thank you for the nice comment.

[@latinoforamerica]

Great hanging method. We are looking to install privacy curtains, but i wasn't sure what method to use to hang them. After seeing your install method, I think I will use this method instead. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸GODBlessAmerica🇺🇸

This is a really creative idea. The curtains look great! The view of the palm trees and water from your patio looks very peaceful and beautiful!

[@graham7513]

This is such a great idea! I live in a really hot climate and think I may use some expanding foam inside the PVC to add a little more rigidity and prevent bowing

[@JohnCRV]

Sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the feedback, let me know how it turns out.

Hi your video was very informative just what I was looking for. I have gazebo 12x13 that has a Mosquito net and I wanted a little more privacy with the curtains and did not know how to add them very good idea. And I will try this out. I was searching for ideas and video hit on the head. Thank you!

[@JohnCRV]

Glad it helped🙂

[@zaneblane8160]

@@JohnCRV ..I hope you can help with my problem..similiar to the above but (1) I have a pergola with no above structure to screw in the hook in and (2) my 7 ft pvc pipe bent with the weight of my drop cloth curtains. Any advice? Should I use the pipe in the pvc..if so, what about question 1?

[@JohnCRV]

@@zaneblane8160 hi, 1) if you have no beam going across you will need to install some kind of beam first. If you do have a beam but not enough room to install hooks under because you have a screen, you can install the hooks on the side of the beams, just make sure they are long enough. 2) You definitely need to insert a pipe or solid rod inside the pvc pipe to keep it from bending and also one hook in the middle. A 10 feet rod you will need a hook on each side and one at 5 feet. Hope this helps.

[@JohnCRV]

Thank you for the visit and comment Mark. Wish you have a great week.

[@minipluscreations758]

Thanks for this innovative method. I am debating with someone about using pvc vs galvanized steel for an outdoor curtain rod. Why did you choose pvc with steel inside for reinforcement as opposed to using galvanized steel only for the rod? My debater said pvc will sag and the curtains can’t be removed once the pvc is glued. He said the steel is threaded so couplings and cups can be screwed off if necessary to remove curtains.

[@JohnCRV]

I've done other outdoor projects with galvanized piping but this project I felt it would be an overkill with the couplings and all.... but it can be done and can use Velcro tab panels so you can put them on and take off without removing the rod if you wish to do it that way... Your other question on PVC "curtains can’t be removed"? The video clearly shows how the curtains can be removed 2 different ways... by just snapping the pvc rod off the hooks and sliding the curtains out... or using Velcro tab type curtain panels, so you can put them on and take off without removing the rod if you wish to do it that way... Good luck with your decision..... Either way is fine...

[@sheisher365]

Great video! Looks way more simple and achievable than others I've watched, THANK YOU! Could I install the hooks lateral instead of vertically? I wanted the look of the top of the curtain being kinda hidden behind the beams. I have a double wood beam I think I can screw them into instead...does this maken sense and do you think its doable? Also, if my patio length is 9ft do I need the middle hook? I assume I would do a 8 or 8½ft piping to leave room to install, hook and unhook as needed....

[@JohnCRV]

I think the hooks may bend if installed lateral or maybe not. I would still install a middle hook to avoid the center to sag and high winds.
