curtain pole advice

possibly stupid question.

I need a curtain pole. they all seem alot bigger than i need

My window is 109cm, and i read u add 15cm either side to get what size u need.

Most them ive seen are 2-3metres.

For poles that are described as 2part, does that mean u can adjust the size?

I was after this one.

This one is adjustable but it seems quite thin and someone told me it could just bend if curtains are heavy.

    With the 2 piece you normally just saw the end off to the correct length. The 2 part is just so they are more manageable to transport & store. They screw together to make one long long pole. The adjustables have one tube that slides inside the other.
