Outdoor Curtain Rod & Bracket Idea 

I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT 4 10FT GALVANIZED RODS..... AND A PIPE CUTTER....AND THE BRACKETS YOU SUGGESTED... AND NOW I HAVE MY OUTDOOR CURTAIN RODS UP AND I THEY ARE SUPER STURDY AS YOU SAID. I LOVE THIS IDEA YOU CAME UP WITH. THANK YOU THEY LOOK GREAT!!!

I used 1 inch copper pipe for mine. Looked beautiful and inexpensive

Awesome, I was planning since days with the Idea of replacing my old way of having a plastic canvas on my porch to hide some items temporarily , with a nice long iron road so I can open and close it when needed. Just was wondering if I can find some similar Ideas on Line. Yours was the first one popping up, so that's it. I told my husband earlier before I've seen you're Video, that it need to be a Metal pipe thank-you. I'll show him this Video

Thank you so much for sharing. I am picky and I have seen other videos and ideas as well. I like this idea much better than any of the others. 👍🏼😊

Wow, love seeing people figure thing's out that some of us just don't have the thought process to come up with!

Thank you for this! So simple and to the point! Looks great and seems to be very sturdy, and simple to remove when necessary. Definitely going to try this!

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to find to put my curtains up on my 12x24 pergola.

Thank you so much for this idea and giving the products you used... I will get my backyard Oasis one way or another ☺️

Thank for the 411, I am racking my brain on how to hang pergola curtains

Smartest Guy on You Tube!!! Its so practical it hurts, ha. I like to re-use or dumpster dive for materials, could i buy it, Yes. But for me , its like a game to see where I can get it or what other way something can be made/done. So I failed this game, cause I have been rackin my brain for different rods, PVC, Wood, etc, etc. Then Dave popped on the screen and all is well again! Thanks. Ready for a humdinger....my name is Dave. Right!!! Great minds think....ooh wait wrong quote... hahaha Stay Smilin'

This was genius and exactly what I was looking for! Doing it tomorrow!

This is Brilliant 👏. Thank you for sharing 👍. Stay safe healthy and happy ✝️ 🇺🇸

Thank-you so much for posting this Dave!! We had gone through several variations of ‘curtain rods’ for our TOJA Grid pergola. Finally something that looked good, was affordable, and easy to install. To adapt it for the TOJA Grid we shortened the brackets and drilled new holes in them to match the screw holes of the TOJA Grid metal corner braces. To keep the curtains from blowing around on a windy day we installed trap door latches in our wooden deck and clip the corners of the curtains onto them.

I appreciate you taking the time to make this video with all the info. ❤❤❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Looks awesome! Great lower cost option.

Thanks for posting this. Was super helpful and ingenious as well!

GREAT idea! Going to give it a try on our 12 x 24 pergola.

Thank you so much for the solution to hanging my outdoor curtains!!

This is as SO helpful!! Thank you for the product images and where to find them

I did much the same but I used Shower curtain liners, PVC pipe and pipe sockets ( one fully enclosed and the other 1/2 open). The sockets were hot glued to the aluminum frame which held up against 40 - 60 MPH winds. One PVC section was too long and sagged so I used 5/4 PT boards and ripped it into a rectangle that was a firm fit in the PVC pipe. Still straight as an arrow. The top we used plastic shower rings that holds up well. I tried several methods to hold the bottom still but most were metal or plastic and they would bang on the screen room frame. I'm sewing a pocket across the bottom and will use a galvanized wire in the pocket and will anchor it with eyebolts anchored in the pool deck. I'll also consider somehow securing it to the lower part of the screen room frame, through nylon grommets. As I am writing this I recall adding wind screens to the Community tennis courts. They laid against chain link fencing. They were tied with zip ties to the fence. The top ties were smaller and weaker than the bottom. This is so strong winds would cause the weaker top zip ties to fail and the windscreen would lay down on the court and not pull the fence down. Well, a little more engineering to do.

NICE! And I don't have to pay hundreds for a contractor that will probably do the same thing. LOVE THIS IDEAL. THANKS FOR THE SHARE!

Great idea. I am doing the same thing. Job well done. Thank you.

Thank you for this idea!

Thanks so much for this video, Perfect.

This is a godsend…thank you!!

great tip. Thank you for including the links. 😊

EXCELLENT VIDEO Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for the video! It really helped me! Tnx

Awesome video!

This was very helpful. thank you

Thank you for sharing 🙏♥️

Thank you. Great job !!

Great job, may I recommend putting the rod behind the ban joist? Maybe wrap with a 2×12 so it can be hidden and not bother the 2×10 joists going across? Just a thought have a great day!

Thank you sooo much. We just ginished our gazebo and it has a copper roof. This will be easy and perfect. Ty

Thank you so much! Love the video and it’s exactly what I’m wanting to do at my home!

THIS IS IT!!!! Thank you!!

Great vid. Thanks a lot

Totally doing this. I can't find anything to span the 12 feet I need to for my gazebo. Thanks!!😀

Great job

Hi I love this idea a lot! Do you mind sharing the link for the bracket pls. Thank you!!

Thank you!

Awsome thanks for sharing Top video

Here in Arizona we need shade, very good idea on pergola fence rods, did you put weights on the bottom of the Curtains? That you so much guess I'll give my husband his " Honey do list" 😄

Great video thank you

Great job. It looks classy and I will definitely take your advice.: )

I’m wondering what I should do in my circumstance , as I have steel posts, and a metal roof?? Any idea???

Thank you… used on carport… you dived the problem 😃

genius! thank you

Amazing idea, thanks!

👏👏👏 lovely

Hi there! What are the brackets you used?

Genius!!

That exactly what I want on a pergola I want to build. Except I would add another rod to each side for a mosquito curtain when we wouldn’t want the privacy curtains up. Those Alabama mosquitoes will carry you off lol

Is there a link for the rail

This was a really good idea. If only the price of those poles were not now $45, but still a great solution.

Terimakasih, menginspirasi

How did the curtains hold up? Did you have any fading?

Would this work with a metal pergola? My one isn't made from wood.

Hi there! Thanks for the idea. I tried one side of my covered porch using EMT and a coupling in the middle. Not happy with it. Will try your method, so smart!!! Any ideas for keeping the curtains from flying up in the wind? Almost monsoon season here in Phoenix!

I’ve looked for the brackets on Amazon and can’t find them. Can you please give me the details. Thanks, I live in Edmonton.

Nice

Where did you get the curtains?

As of March 2024, I can find these brackets on Amazon, but I can't find the Peak Products steel chain link fence rails anywhere--not on Peak Products site or the Home Depot site. I suspect they are no longer being made. Sad, as these looked really nice. I am going to call Peak Products, just to make sure. Great idea anyway. Maybe we can find something else that will work...

Couldn't get info from your quick shot of your resources. Would appreciate links to your supplies.

How did you cut the fence rails to the size you needed? I asked at Lowes and they had no clue.

How has this held up since it has been about 6 months since install? Any bowing/bending in the rod?

Great idea. Works if your pergola is wood, might be tougher if it's metal like mine.

Hey! How did you connect the pieces to make them longer? I’m having the issue of the 10’ not being long enough but I don’t see how you connected them

I’m looking at doing this exact same thing. Can I ask you how you extended the poles so they were long enough for the space? Also it’s been 3 years, have they sagged at all in that time?

Great video and idea.. how did you connect the pipes together ? A coupler? Thank you

Did Home depot cut the fence rails, I don't have anything to cut iron?

What if the pergola is metal? I suck at this stuff 😆

Our Porch is covered and protected from the Rain

Couldn’t you have used stranded cables instead of rods?

❤️

Where do get those brackets?

Nope. Curtains are short. You mounted the rods to high 😢

That’s so ugly!!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮
