We utilize UPS for the shipment of all packages. While you can order a rod of any total length, most rods will be spliced into segments when the total rod length exceeds 93”. Due to longer maximum suggested spans between brackets, you may elect to splice 1 ¼” and 1 ½” diameter rods in segments up to 105” for an additional shipping surcharge of $150.00. This typically only applies to total lengths over 93" up to 105", or over 186" up to 210".
By default, we will divide a rod that requires splicing into equal lengths. For example, a 140" rod would be spliced into 2 segments @ 70" each and a 270" rod would be spliced into 3 segments @ 90" each. Upon request, we can splice your rod however you like so long as no segment is over 105". For most corner and 3-sided (bay) rods there will be a splice at each corner. With our splicing method, any length of rod will look and function like one solid rod once installed. Splices are automatically included with your order.
Our splices are extremely sturdy, easy to assemble, and completely hidden once installed. (Reference images below.) Keep in mind that you'll want a bracket at each splice point to help support the rod and to hide the seam. The splice is firmly secured with set screws on the back of the rod.
Splice Assembly Steps:
The end of each rod segment has a set screw for securing the splice. You'll find the set screw on the back of the rod approximately 2" from the end. The splice connector is a smaller diameter piece of rod, about 8" to 10" long.
Slide the splice connector halfway into one rod segment and tighten the set screw. Repeat on the other rod segment.
Rotate the rods such that the set screws are on the back, next to the wall. Once installed, only a thin seam remains which will be completely hidden behind the middle bracket, thus making the rod appear as a continuous, seamless rod.
