Wooden Curtain Poles

A timeless and elegant way to hang decorative curtains, offering warmth, strength and classic style.

Why Choose a Wooden Curtain Pole?

• Solid one-piece construction
• Available painted or stained
• Suitable for a wide range of curtain headings
• Quiet operation with eyelet curtains
• Adds warmth and timeless character to a room

Unlike extendable poles often found in DIY stores, our poles are proper solid poles. If a join is required, it is seamless — not telescopic.

Width & Structural Considerations

When hanging full-length curtains, strength and fixing are extremely important.

• With three brackets, practical width is around 2.8 metres
• Heavier curtains require stronger support
• Fixing surface matters (solid wall vs plasterboard)
• New build properties may require additional care

If going wider than approximately 2.8 metres, we would normally recommend upgrading to a thicker pole — for example, 50mm instead of 28mm — to maintain rigidity.

Larger diameter poles also mean eyelet curtains may not be suitable, as eyelets are not available in very large sizes.

Maintenance & Care

Wooden poles benefit from light maintenance, especially when used with eyelet curtains.

• Regular dusting recommended
• Occasional light waxing keeps surface smooth
• Prevents eyelets from sticking
• Helps curtains glide smoothly

If dust builds up, the surface can feel slightly sticky, which affects how easily the curtains move.
