I have a long, large decorative drapery rod with a 3" diameter. This rod was purchased from JCPENNEY Co. This rod comes in 3 pieces that are each 44" long. This rod comes with all of its hardware, brackets and fancy ends that screw on and off. I used this on a 72" wide sliding glass door and extended 6"more on each side. Back tab, tab or metal grommet drapes will work well on this drapery rod.
I live between Sullivan and Potosi MO off of hwy 185 and travel East towards St Louis weekly on hwy 44 and can meet up somewhere on the way if you prefer.
