    We had our from dunelm mill.....a flexible type that bends around.......we had to buy extension brackets so that the curtain falls past the window sill
    Not a bad result really......bay windows = mare :)

    It's looking that way! The track/pole would need to be about 3.2m in length -- Ikea had some cheap white poles that looked ugly and cheap tbh, Dunhelm Mill wanted £50 for a nice silver one, which does seem like a lot for a steel pole :S

    I know its not what you were wanting but we used track (one corded, one not) from John Lewis for our 2 bay windows and I've got another one for the 3rd one but thats not fitted yet.. Quite easy to bend and put up. Think the corded one was about £50 and the uncorded was about £35.

    My local Wilko's had two in stock luckily for £30 odd quid each, yet to try them but they look good - silver steel with twirly bits at the end.
