We hope this site has been useful and has been a change from the more commercially made poles available.
Whilst larger companies pick boxes of shelves to make up your order, our poles are made to your individual selection at our wonderful Smithy.
Over recent years I have sold hundreds of curtain poles all by recommendation. I am sure you will be pleased with your choice.
All poles are made to order and are available in
two diameters: 22mm or 27mm.
The pole is made from thick walled tubing, (2.5 or
3 mm) thus giving the best possible strength to weight ratio.
22mm poles will span up to 2 metres unsupported; 27mm poles will
span up 2.5 to 3 metres unsupported. Centre brackets will be supplied
free of charge for poles in excess of these lengths.
A feature of my poles is the quality and detail of the finials;
these are heavier than other lesser quality poles. Finials are
removable, but are very securely fitted. As such they are guaranteed
not to fall off or sag.
Brackets are made from 5mm thick mild steel which
will not bend however heavy the curtains may be.
The pole will be spaced 65mm away from the wall but this can
be altered (F.O.C.) to suit your needs.
Standard brackets come with two fixing holes, should you feel
that you require additional fixing holes (at no extra cost) please
state when ordering.
Rings are steel and free running; they are supplied
four per every 300mm of pole. More are available if required.
Tie backs are available for all finials shown, they all feature a finial approx. half the size used on the pole. The only exception is the celtic design which is complementary and really does work well ( the finial is so heavy it would be impractical to use it on a tie back). The tie back can be made to any size requested and does not affect the price please supply overall length and depth from wall or if you wish leave it to my judgment. (If you wish to do so, please give an idea of weight of fabric interlining etc.
Should you wish me to supply fixings at no extra cost I
am happy to do so.
Please state type of fixings required in the additional information
box on the order form.
(If you are unsure of fixings needed, please contact
us to discuss your requirements).

Curtain Poles FAQ
How come your poles are so cheap?
Should our poles appear to be rather cheap in comparison it is simply
because there is no middle man, you are paying for the pole not the
packaging, marketing costs etc. At present we are able to supply poles
without having to charge Vat.
Would the pole be better made from solid bar?
Definitely not; solid bar is obviously heavier and subject
to bend under its own weight. The only advantage is that it is
cheaper to buy! If required I can provide poles from 12mm or 16mm solid
bar but only for short lengths
What is the delivery time?
Poles will usually be ready for despatch within 5 days.
If a more urgent timescale is required we may be able to help.
If delivery date is important please phone first to check we can
meet your deadlines. When the pole is ready for despatch, I will
phone you to arrange next day delivery.
I can request that a delivery is made at a certain time or left in a certain place, but this is not guaranteed. It is therefore preferred that someone is available to take delivery. Most deliverys are made in the morning.
The large majority of deliveries are usually made on time but please be aware that , I am bound by the term and conditions of the courier, should they fail to make a collection and/or delay delivery I cannot be held responsible for any consequential losses (time, inconvenience additional expenses etc.)
Do you make poles for bay windows ?
Yes, we have made and fitted many. However I do not believe these
are practical without visiting the site personally. There are many
factors to consider, please be cautious of anybody who suggests this
can be done with a few measurements provided by yourselves! Subject
to workload I will consider bay windows if local to the Smithy.
Returns policy.
From past experience and the many repeat customers, I have every confidence
that you will be happy with the quality of the pole. In the unlikely
event that I make some error this will be rectified ASAP at my expense.
Should the pole have been incorrectly ordered, please bear in mind
all poles are individually made and as such I can not give any refunds.
In this event it would usually be possible to forward replacement parts
e.g. a longer pole or different brackets at a reasonable cost.
