Where can I buy not expensive curtain tension rods?

I have found the ones I like at very.c.uk but the delivery is expensive.
Woolworth sells the same curtain rods with exactly the same delivery options. I did not know that woolworth and very under the same roof. Not like the old woolworth anymore.

Does anyone know where to buy such things? I need 1 or 2, size up to 200cm for the door.

Thank you.

I got mine from wilkinsons

Have you looked at Dunelm?

Thank you for suggestions. Both shops have net rods at pretty good prices. The delivery price is lower at Dunelm.

the woolies ones in brass look nice.

if you have a wilco near you, you can order for collection from branch without delivery charge. I was amazed they did this for a 50p paint sample pot. Only seem to be in white, i presume plastic?

use the "free collect at store" option

PigletJohn, very, woolworth have free collection to local stores but they do not delivery net rods. Perhaps, too long :)

might be too fragile if just one or two rather than a great crate of them? Long, thin, not strong?

I ordered a brass corded rail from Homebase in a large size (3 metres) and it was delivered bent. They exchanged it without quibble, but I suppose a bit awkward to lug around.

I have just noticed that the net rod which I like has ends which will not stick to anything. Our rods at home have special flat sticky attachments. You do not need hooks.

I got mine from John Lewis. They're very strong and of good quality but probably more expensive than those mentioned so far.
