Lucia Matos Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Hi everyone, Does anyone know where I can get a bar/ pole to hang up lights or a curtain inside a canopy? I found this one, but it doesn't have hooks on the sides. It has holes instead: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1430637-REG/impact_bg_cb13b_hd_13_crossbar_black.html/?ap=y&smp=ba_f1_lar&lsft=BI%3A514&gclid=Cj0KCQjw3a2iBhCFARIsAD4jQB27MgQMfVTYnfMqo6QDCggNJV-vtjKSfC0wdMTChgE9AEQB4pauTSQaAp3KEALw_wcB I spent so much time trying to find one, with no success. Thank you! Lucia p.s.: @GEPWhere did you buy yours, and what are they called? Thank you so much! And thank you for your super helpful blog articles.

GEP Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 I use telescoping crossbars similar to the ones you linked to. I bought them from a photo supply website too. The hooks on the ends are conduit straps, which I spray painted black, then attached them to the ends of the crossbars with some heavy duty wire. https://www.amazon.com/Morris-19405-Pipe-Strap-Steel/dp/B00VNJQLT6 Lucia Matos, Hulk, Pres and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyK Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) How mechanically inclined are you, Lucia? You could get a length of 1/2" black pipe at a big box or hardware store, have it cut to the length you need and threaded on the fresh cut end. Then you could thread elbows on each end, get additional pipe cut to height and threaded to fit the elbows at one end and flanges at the bottom end to mount to some sort of base or the floor itself. Then you could use shower curtain rings to hang your curtain or lights. You could paint it all to match your decor...

I am terribly not mechanically inclined, but I hope to get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEP Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 No matter how you end up building your bars, make sure they either telescope down to about half the length, or come apart into shorter segments. A 10 ft long pole is really hard to fit into a vehicle! Lucia Matos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This suggestion is more for a kinda permanent installation, not, by any means, portable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it because I can set it up by myself and it is sturdy. On another note, I love the underglaze transfer pieces you are posting on Instagram!

Go to their page HERE and look at the menu on the left. And thank you for the kind words! rox54, Hulk and Lucia Matos 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
