<b>NOTE: The minimum size of this pipe is 6 feet long - it does not go any less than that, or break in to smaller sections. If you plan to transport this pipe, please ensure that your vehicle can accommodate this size.</b><br><br>Our sturdy aluminum drape support rods, also known as “crossbars” or “horizontal rods”, are what sets the width of your pipe and drape display. This is the horizontal piece of pipe that your drape panels hang from. The outside diameter (OD) of this pipe is approximately 1.5 inches. Each end features a steel hook that is cast in an aluminum end piece, making this the most durable support rod on the market today. The Drape Support is adjustable so you can set the width to your exact preference. The 6 -10 ft. support adjusts from 6 ft. at the minimum size to 10 ft. at the widest size. The button stop feature allows the support rod to lock into place at 8 ft. and 10 ft. wide to help set the width at the most popular sizes, although you may set the width at any dimension between 6 feet and 10 feet. Simply sleeve the drape (sold separately) onto the pipe and then "hook" each of the ends into one of the 4 slots cut out at the top of our uprights (uprights sold separately). The maximum weight capacity of the support rod is 15 lbs. (evenly distributed).
