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 three diameters:
22mm, 27mm and 33mm.
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 and the 33mm will span 3 meters unsupported.
Centre brackets will be supplied free of charge for poles in excess of these lengths.
For poles in excess of these lengths, which cannot use a centre bracket please
phone.
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).
Postage & Packing
The following postal charges will be applied:
- One pole £10.00
- Two poles £15.00
- Three poles or more £20.00
The above prices are for a next day service; this service is for mainland only.
We can deliver poles of any length up to 3.3 metres, poles above this length would need to be done in two sections with an invisible join behind centre bracket.
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.)
Prior to despatch of your order I will phone to arrange a convenient delivery day.
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. 90 degree bends are usually simpler, please phone to discuss.
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.
