Can I fit a 2.4m (7’10”) curtain pole without a centre bracket?

(Apologies if this is a duplicate response — first attempt dropped out)

Thanks Kelli

i want to hang the curtains across the open alcove at 2m height and the ceiling is around 3m. For various reasons I don’t want to use a 1m bracket coming down from the ceiling.

Thanks, Flipturn

I hoped to hang it across an open alcove, wall-mounted on either side, positioned 1m below ceiling height. For various reasons I don't want to put it at ceiling height, and I don't want a 1m bracket coming down from the ceiling either.

i know that a standard, jointed curtain pole will bend, but was hoping that a thicker, one-piece pole might do it. I guess I always knew I was going to be disappointed!
