I have 4 windows that line one wall in my living room. They are each 41" inches wide and and 95" long. They have 6" inches of wall between each window. I bought 108" curtain panel for each window. I want them to pool at the bottom. The problem that I am running into deciding on is do I buy one curtain rod for each window? Treat the window as sets of twos, so two curtain rods. Or one big one for the middle two windows and an individual rod for the out side two.
The windows are all the same size and spaced apart evenly. I can't decide what to do....HELP!!!!!

Thanks for the input....
I think it would depend on the "end caps" of the curtain rods and how distracting those will be. Any way to scan a picture, print it off, and do some "art work" by sketching in the rods and see how it would look? Like - one pic - do a line across as if the one rod covering 2 windows - see how that looks, etc.
I had a similar situation in my own house-
We did one rod and five panels. One continuous rod (no clutter of finials) and a panel between each window and a panel at each end.
I created "hidden" brackets for the rod at each panel location.

That sounds like a great solution - was it a problem to get the one continuous long rod? Or did you do something custom to get it that long?
My sister needs a super long rod for the same type of installation! LOL!!! that is why I read this thread . . . cause she is dealing w/ the same thing. And we did the scanned picture - and we are convinced - this would be the most attractive solution.
I would do the one rod thing, a lot less cluttered feeling. You can go the cheap route and get PVC pipe and paint it, just make sure your finials will fit onto it.
Or you can get connecting screws for wooden rods, Just make sure that you have supports where the rods are connected. another poster said supports were hidden behind the panels, thats where you would put together rods with connector screws.
Metal rods are another matter altogether...... they will usually sell extension pieces that go on the middle, but you have to once again make sure of support.

It was actually two rods (decorative round wood)- connected by a "double threaded screw". I screwed them together with glue until the pattern matched. The brackets were support brackets used for the old type draw curtain rods.

make sure the double threaded screw where the poles are jooined are resting on a support. I had an installer fail to do this once for a client, the pole fell, and chaos ensued! Needless to say, the installer had to buy the client new poles and rings.
