I needed a rod to hang my bamboo panels.  This rod is working perfectly.  I have the longest length & it does need a centre support for my heavier panels.  There really wasn't anywhere to attach the support that comes with the rod but I was able to use a clamp to support the rod & it works.  It arrived very quickly, was easy to put up - would be longer if attaching with the screws & support.  This rod is in a solarium - if it was out in the weather, I probably would attach more securely.
