Q: Is it necessary to have a middle bracket for extra support for the shorter of these two? I would be using it at about 70"
A: The 66”x120” being to big for a window that is 77” wide. You have to use the middle rod to connect the other/ end rods. Returning & will try the smaller size.
submitted byGotto - 6 years agoA: It is not required, just recommended. Thanks!
submitted byExclusive Home - 6 years agoBrand expertA: I would use the middle bracket but in other news... I just left a review about the 66”x120” being to big for a window that is 71” wide. In case this helps you - I ordered the 66x120 size rod, for a window casing that is 71” wide. I even installed the brackets a few inches wider than 71” and the rods were too long. Each side has a rod arm, which the middle rod slips over.... problem is the two rods overlap by about 6”. Obviously, you can’t slip the middle rod over the arms if they overlap. I plan on sawing both of the rod/arms on one side to make what I have work, but it’s false advertised. If it’s not working at 71”+ apart it’s definitely not going to be able to work for the “minimum” width of 66 inches. The two bigger outside rods are each 42” long, once you factor in the middle rod that slips over it (to make the two rods become one) the minimum width would be like 85” (including an inch for wiggle room).

Q: Does the middle rod just sit there? does it slip off potentially? Also, the directions that came with the unit are different from the unit i ordered/got. The pictures are different. Also, no number to call to get assistance...
A: Your package should include 2 rods that are the same size and 1 smaller rod. The smaller rod should fit into one end of each of the larger rods. The finials should be applied to the opposite end of the larger rods. We hope you find this info helpful!
