Question I want to install draperies on a rod with rings over a patio door. Would like to have a wand (like the ones I see in motels) to open and close the drapes. Where could I get such a wand or is there a way to make my own?
Answer Hi Pat
Firstly my apologies for not answering your question sooner. It seems to have slipped through the net.
Now to your question You can buy these wands as you call them at many places. They are really called "curtain draw rods". The link below will take you to a page full of all kinds of draw rods. This company is UK based. So if elsewhere then just type "curtain draw rods" into google.
