Re: poles

You might want to take a look at the Galleria pole range from Hallis Hudson that comes in a 35 mm and 50 mm pole. Beautiful poles and finials too.

Galleria 2 poles

Re: poles

You could try the Cameron Fuller ones and use extra brackets and passing rings

Re: poles

Hi Dee, I've not done one that wide, but have fitted metal poles up to 2.7 m with no problems and my fitter says that Integra poles are good quality. Could you go for a 35mm pole as Tam suggests? I think Sunflex do the Portland pole which seems pretty solid.

Re: poles

I am not sure a 3.5 meter pole would bow in the middle with the bracket. Blackout lining can be heavy but metal poles do not tend to bow as much as wood ones. I think you would be OK.
