My goal was to make curtain rods similar to the Pottery Barn Standard Drape Rod but at a much lower cost. My biggest window needed a 106 inch bar which would have set me back $50 from Pottery Barn. Making my own rod using widely available EMT conduit ended up costing me less than $6.

Traverse rods get their name from the draperies that travel across the rod via a pulley or wand, depending upon the rod's hardware setup. Some traverse rod hardware operates via a side draw, while others use a center draw. The plastic ring hangers fit into a slot opening at the back of the rod. An S-shaped pin attaches to the pleats in your drapes with its hook end through the small hole in the hanger.

Because the plastic hangers bear the weight of the drapes, they can break or wear out with age, use and sun damage. The hangers are inexpensive to purchase and easy to install. In just a few minutes' time, you can replace the hangers and get your traverse rods and draperies functional again. Detach the drape panels from the corner bracket to expose the traverse hardware on the side with the broken hangers. Continue removing the drape around the corner of the bracket by lifting the S-shaped hooks from the hardware and the small hangers. Continue removing the drape after detaching the hooks from the hangers and set the drape aside to expose the rod, hardware and ring hangers. Fold drapes neatly to avoid losing any of the S-shaped pins stuck in the seams of the pleats. If you plan to have your drapes cleaned, remove the S-shaped pins from the pleats as well. Draw the wand or the pulley open to gather the hangers at one end, depending upon your hardware setup. Press down on the tab on the pulley housing located on either side of the traverse rod if it is a center draw, or one side if it is a single draw.

This unlocks the rod so you can easily slide the ring hangers off the rod. Slide the hanger over the housing and lift it out through the hole provided. Slide the broken plastic hangers from the rod through its open end. Replace them with new ones. Fit the new hangers onto the rod by fitting the extended piece or nipple end through the end of the rod and slot. Verify the hanger faces forward. Install the rod in the reverse order you removed it after replacing the needed hangers. Reattach the drapes to the hangers by inserting the hook end from the S-shaped pin on the backside of the pleated drapes into the hanger.
