Can the brackets be hung from the ceiling and still effectively support the rod when opening and closing curtains?

You may be able to hang the curtains, but I doubt these would stay up long if you were opening and closing the curtains. Sorry...but the metal is not extremely strong and I think you would be disappointed if you tried to hang them from the ceiling.

I skipped the ceiling mount ( you can cut it to any length) but reinforced the support with my own constructed wall support. I just used a bracket for screwing conduit to a wall to support the shower curtain bar since I skipped the ceiling mounts. It's supported on three corners and holding up fine. Might be an issue if you have kids who will pull down on the shower curtain.

Yes, you could hang these from wire closet shelves either with the included hangers or s-hooks. I'm not too sure about the rod.

I intended to anchor it securely enough for incidental grabs with larger screws than provided- into studs. I think it would have been strong enough, but I would not want to routinely put much weight on it. You can set the space between the support brackets wherever you like, which should help with bending of the rod. It is not a solid rod and is maybe 3/8" diam.

I'm not quite certain of the weight it will hold, but as an example, I have 2 sets of Solid Grommet Top Thermal Insulated Blackout Curtain 95"(bought here) on a rod at about 120". Using a center support bracket, there's no sag in the rod at all. All of the brackets are screwed into studs. So the rod is extended right at its length limit without issues, that center bracket makes all the difference. As I'm not sure of the curtains weight, I know it doesn't really answer your question, just trying to give an example

Depends on the design of the shelf, and the load placed on the shelf. The vertical shear load of the brackets is good, but if you are putting a lot of weight on the shelf then no, because the lateral or horizontal load capacity of the brackets and even the screws bcomes suspect. Your shelves could pull out or at least start to sag pretty easily, maybe even under the weight of the shelving let alone the load on it. You're going to need some triangulated support out to the end of the shelving.

The rod and hangers are very well made and strong. If anchored well and I mean very well, they should hold just about any curtain you choose. Just make sure that when you go beyond 60 or so inches that you use the center support. I bought very nice blackout curtains through amazon and am very pleased. Remember, anchoring the supports securely is the key. Good luck !

I would think, there is an intended closet rod for these brackets which is very heavy, so I'm sure they could support a light shower rod. As far as moisture, I don't see why not, as long is the rod is secured properly

Hi Maggie, I don't believe they would work very well. We have 1 in. rods and they fit well. There is a screw that tightens to the rod to keep it from falling out when pulling on the curtains to close or open. I suppose you could always get a longer screw and then it would tighten down. I hope this helps.

I used two brackets for mine, but rod sags a bit in the middle. May decide to add another bracket.

Depends on how "slightly". I have not tried it but it looks like it could accommodate about 10 deg. along the keyway slot direction (the slot that keeps the rod from turning. Look close at the photo you'll see it). You would have to orient that slot in the direction you want to tilt when installing the support bracket in the ceiling mount.PS Audrey's answer of 4 Jan is correct.

I don't think so unless your curtain rod is lower than the usual height. You may be able to have someone string it up for you so that it would be at the height you need.

No, as long as there is something solid to hang the brackets on. I used lead anchors in stucco and the two boxes I installed are solid as a rock.

Each of the curlicue ends are separate pieces. After the curtain is on the pole the curlicues are screwed into the ends and the rod is placed in the hooks. The hooks to hold the rods appear to be wall hooks. Another type of hook from the ceiling would have to be devised to support the rod.

Yes, I do. These rod holders are wonderfully strong. We've had them in place for years now--with the Levolor rings so that the curtains slide easily across the rod-and no troubles with the curtains staying up. We do have them drilled into concrete, though, so make sure you have them nicely secured to the wall.

I have this rod spanning 105" with four lined silk drapes(total 150" of fabric) hanging on decorative rings, with no problem. The weight and span require using the bracket to support the center of the rod, so that may affect how your drapes slide on the rod. Securely screwed all brackets into solid wood header. Good luck!

If I understand your question correctly, I'd say yes. My guess is the brackets can be mounted at any angle, as the shade will still fall straight down. By the way, I'm very happy with the shade...quality and performance is much better than the cheaper ones I've had from the 'box stores'.
