    Ikea do them, it's part of the INDEX range

    £1.69 for 2 double brackets
    £2.99 for the pole up to 2.1m
    and from 99p for the finials

    £2.59 for 10 ADELE curtain rings (probably need 2)


    £10.85 total


    Not worth paying for delivery though, you'd have to drive there, & probably spend another £30 on stuff you never knew you needed :D

    Fantastic... never thought of Ikea.:j
    We don't need the curtain rings as the voile and curtains are looped.
    Thank you so much. :T

    Yep, just worked it out - double brackets + 2 x rods + finial = £8.66 :j
    Just a shame they don't do home delivery on these items as our nearest store is Croydon, 88 miles away :o
    We have a store opening up in Southampton, but not till next year, and so not waiting that long lol.
    Suppose we could make a day out of it i guess.

    We had a browse around our local retail park to try Rosebys, but they don't sell them. We then saw homebase with a 10% off day so had a look in there.
    They had a very smart double pole kit @ £35 - but one of the packs was opened.
    We got hold of the trading manager, and we checked the contents for which one of the three brackets was missing (we only needed 2 anyhow). He offered to sell it to us for £25, I said £20 and he agreed.
    We then had 10% off, so £18 is what we paid.

    Thanks to sooz and edilass your help :T

    This is so true :eek:

    I went last night to return a few things I had bought at the 21% off sale, of course I really needed a battery operated whisk for hot chocolate, well it did have 21% off :o

    and of course when I went to check out the curtain rails for saints, well I spent another £16 on things I really needed :j
