    Can you use tension rods?

      Thank you, but I guess I should have mentioned that it’s 10’ wide and I can’t find a tension rod that long that would hold the weight of the drapes.

    just be sure it's clean and termite free -- and if you like the way it looks, no you don't need to do anything to it ... you will loose the 'aged' look if you paint it unless you paint and then 'distress' -- and it's already 'distressed'!
