Wishing to fit a voile curtain in a Conservatory I need a curtain pole. As I
do not want to drill into the wall ,thought of a metal spring tension rod.
Problem is I need one 8 feet in length and cannot find one.
Do they come in this length ? If so where can I find one?. Alternatively how
can I fix a curtain rod(pole) without drilling into the walls (I am
concerned that the screws may not hold)
Peter.

You can use net curtain rods that have an eye at each end, and are 
telescopic to allow
for different widths these sit onto small hooks that are self adhesive at 
each end
Most curtain shops sell em on the counter.

BTW, the UPVC of a conservatory will take the small hooks and eyes screwed 
into them
for the metal spring tension wire if you wanted to go that route.

Spot on - Went to Homebase this afternoon and found just what you
recommended,Net curtain rods and adhesive hooks. (Never thought of using
these)
Got a couple of the required length so I will not have to screw into the
UPVC
Many thanks for your prompt reply and help
Peter.
