How do I make material roll up shades?
+2
I’ve given up finding a super strong 17’ pole to hang my privacy drapes from that I could pull without 3 center brackets that would prevent pulling all 16’ to one side. Now I’m interested in making my lined drapes into 4 fabric roll ups for each of 4 sliders across the back of my great room. TY kindly for any help.

Hi, Carolyn,
Did you check with Calico Corners to see if they have a one way draw rod to fit your needs? They do a great deal of custom drapery work, so they may be a source, before resorting to roll up shades. I'm not sure you'd have the same degree of privacy with the roll ups, given the space needed between each roll up rod.
Carolyn I can understand your frustration although I have never tried this I did find this video not sure it is exactly what you are hoping for but hope it helps with your project

Before you give up on the pole.... check a hardware store and ask for a galvanized pole!!! They come in very long lengths!! And paintable
Electrical conduit pipe for the pole. Two ten foot lengths will give you 20'.
