Extra Extra Long Curtain Rods?

We are almost done with our sunroom renovation and I need to find a very long curtain rod. Longest I could find when doing a little looking online was 12 feet (144").

I need something that's more like 14' or 15'. Any advice on where to look?

What if you just went to HD, got two 8' to 10' wooden dowels, then got a connector sleeve to hold them together. You could stain or paint the dowels to coordinate with the window/wall/curtain, and it would be much less $$$ than a "curtain rod".

The other poster has a very good idea! But, for me, I found a long rod at BBB - it is basically the same as what the other poster said, but the dowels are already stained and is an official "curtain rod." You can add however many rods you need and adjust the lengths and they also have the ends for them. Also, at JC Pennys, I found extension rods that you can put into the 144" rods that would also make them longer. Of the two, I thought the BBB ones looked better. They are $$, though.
