I'm attempting to re-purpose some copper pipes I have to make curtain rods. I like the exterior look of the copper but of course the downside is that copper is rather soft and bendy. Does anyone know of anything I can use to go inside the copper pipe to give it more rigidity? I'm using 15mm pipes. I'm wondering whether some sort of interior steel rod would help or if there is some other kind of substance that can go inside which would stop it bending from the weight of the curtains? I have already used a copper tee attached to the wall in the middle to give it some support, but the lengths either side are still long enough to allow a little bending when the curtains are hung and I can't add in any more supports or I won't be able to draw the curtains.
I'm ideally looking for a relatively cheap solution as this is meant to be a budget project.
Any ideas gratefully received, thank you.
