I’m so pissed I didn’t know/think about this before I ever hung any curtains. This is the best looking, most durable, and cheapest way to hang curtains EVER! Thx!
That idea was super GENIUS! I would love all that light coming in but I just need to hang 4 panels. Sharp idea though for many others. Thank you for taking the time to share for others who struggle.
Great video, Mr. Gizmo! Looks like it really works well!
Love how it looks!! Great Job Mr. Gizmo!
Amanda Raye thank you Amanda!
Acetone is not an acid. It's a solvent. Not to say you don't need gloves, you do, jut that some types of gloves may disolve in acetone. You should also use a respirator with cartridges for Volatile Organic Compounds.
Mr. Gizmo...........Love your creative spirit and ideas!! Amazing alternative to a very expensive
home addition. You are my kind of guy!! Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I love this, and just moved into a house that had nothing on the windows. So far I've just put up summer sheers and blinds, but will need insulated curtains by winter.
I'll have to rewatch and take notes, but I like this idea a lot!
Well done!
My windows are all in the middle of a room, so no 90 degree piece will be needed.
But I was envisioning using finials on the end of the rods, and wonder if I can choose a rod size that will still accommodate finials on the ends.
Smart idea and it looks decent and is stronger. Nobody would really look up to see and even if they do, they would think it's an artistic thing. Well done!
I am so jealous of your wife!!! 🤭What a nice guy, I love listening to you! 🤗Great ideas too!!! Cheers from Western Australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘👍
I love this idea! Thank you!
I love this idea!! Potentially could solve my heavy drape issue above my sliding glass door…
The heavy drapes is exactly why this is so cool to do!!
What a great idea. As an ex-Hom Depo. employee, you think i would've thought of doing this. Awesome idea guys thank you.
Hi there.. I’m looking to add the sheer behind my existing curtains but on a simple rod like you have. I can’t tell in the video but is that a bar that’s ceiling mounting up into the window frame or is it a rod like the blue drapes have?
Thank you so much
That would look nice spray painted using the spray that looks like cast iron. Nice job.
Doesn't hurt that he's very cute, makes the project a lot more fun lol
Great info! I really really want to take the leat to nice curtains!
Thank you just gave me an idea for my corner windows
Just have to find a handyman to do them for me
Agnes Cassar you are very welcome!
What did you do with your acetone (basically nail polish remover...its not acid) when you finished? Looks fabulous. Thanks. Cheers from Western Australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘
Explained so well. Thank you.
PLEASE explain your shears rod
Brilliant!!!
Hey Mr. Gizmo, thanks for putting up this video. I'm using curtain rings, so will the spray paint wear off ? I'm a bit concerned it might damage the curtains, is there a solution for this ? Thank you
I don't think they will scrape enough to show. I am going to get curtain rings too. I tried some bamboo rods for beaded & fringe style curtains to create a division in my bedroom, creating a separate space for card readings --- absolutely doing an amateur approach but the natural rods are too weak n bend. I will have to put curtain rings on the bamboo then hang the curtains. I used nails hammered in the ceiling & twisted thin copper wire I had to make loops that hang and act as the holes where a "rod" will go through
[ it was going to prove too much to use the ceiling hangers with wings = too much holes and not a guarantee of success].
I was thinking i could get a rod or strong dowel --- now this pipe thing seems a great way to go. It is a work in progress. I have to order 2 more curtains. this thing will hang from ceiling in front of a large dresser which will have crystals on it. but not feel directly like you are in a bedroom. then I have another Idea to hang a tapestry or put up against a high headboard, garden trellis, which can be decorated with faery lights, other ... it will be very ethereal, fun easy spot. about 6 ft x 9 ft area
GOOD WISHES on your project
Wow this was great info, thanks!
but that "T" thing in the center -- how is it secured against the wall? I get that u got 2 long pipes & got the "T" thing to click together & its in the center of as U said, you have very heavy drapes... but I am visual & I kinda missed you didn't show image. I will say overall GREAT IDEA & cost sharing was brilliant too. I will probably not use the acid stuff any time on the pipe I may get and find another way to get gunk off, etc., thank you very much!
I agree with the dad shirt 🌮 are life ❤
Updates please
This would be great for outside use especially gazebo
How do you plan to unmount those curtains for cleaning?
Homer Simpson : dope!
Unscrew one end ? Wash every 10 years or never wash? Dark fabric hides stains.
Great idea 😊 Been looking for a curtain rod for my 160 patio window. Where did you get the patio curtains from?
These are from Blinds.com. :)
Very clever! 👏
Great idea. My suggestion: hang the curtains around the corner bend at each end so that they touch the wall.
We decided to do just that! It actually covers up really nice and is very solid. I could do pull-ups on the curtain rod!
How do you get the curtains on and off.
Never mind the curtain rods. Where did you get those drapes? They look great.
Blinds.com sells these :)
Good idea and good video.
Wouldn't the spray paint start to scrape off after a while of the gromets or curtain kings dragging on them?
Hasn’t yet!
Still hasnt
That curtain rod looks expensive 😯. You know all those parts cost money probably just about the same as a full size one but good idea I like it but idk seems like a lot of work
Beautiful
Hi we used your tip.
I have this same issue bought double curtain rods and it stick out way too much. So i had to buy a tension rod then look for another that do thats same effect as the pipes
First of all, you're not just a dad, you're a zaddy lol
What is a zaddy?
@@MrGizmo211 A hot daddy.
@@LifeOfTheParty323 well... thank you !!
Amazing!!! 👏👏👏👏
How do you take them down to wash ?
same way you put them on...the pipes are threaded so they unscrew from the 90degree pieces and the T section they added so easily come down when you want
mr.video Thank you very much for explaining. Such a great idea. I will be using this idea 🤗
is the pipe 1/2" or 3/4?
Hi sir, I need help with curtains brackets that keep dangling, I used two different types and it kept happening, So of you have an idea of a good kind of curtains brackets please advise me because I don’t want to dig more holes in my walls before solving the problem
Is it because you don’t have studs you can hit based on the location?
@@MrGizmo211 Thank you for replying, and how do I fix that?
I also want to clarify something, it’s only the brackets that are bending the wall is fine, it’s not coming off the wall
@@lifeisgood5086 unfortunately if the brackets are bending because of the weight there isn’t much you can do. I would look at buying heavy duty brackets that are steel.
@@MrGizmo211 thank you 🙏
Where did you buy the blue curtains
Blinds.com :)
i love you
What about café rods for the sheers?
Never tried cafe rods? Did you try it?
Husband dead, older overweight lady so no boyfriend, sons live in AZ.......local handymen are $75/hour. I can do all the front stuff but not screwing it up. Otherwise good idea good voice,nice guy. I am using PVC pipe right now and it s a giant "U" with the ends flying up on either side. Just for now bec I needed to have the curtains hanging and not get wrinkles. I put a like tho on yr thumbs up.
acetone is not an acid!
3:34 lmao okay but was this hypothesis tested? 🧐😂
Blah blah blah for the first 2 min.
Thank you! Your comment definitely helped people.
I guess "Industrial look" is code for "looks like shit"
