  • It offers a casual, simplistic, and versatile look.
  • It can be clipped or hooked into rings, the tape is 3" in height
  • If you would like to slip curtains over the rod, we recommend the Rod pocket - Fold Over style.
  • It can be hung flat or made into pleats
  • It is lined on top to create a clean tailored look
  • It is designed without added fullness. Multiply your window width by 1.5-2.5 to create the fullness you desire.

Rod Pocket: Fold Over

The fold-over style rod pocket is simply folding the same fabric over to create the pocket, available in 3", 4" and 5" opening options. Rod pocket fold-over style offers a casual look. It is a perfect choice for the sheer layer in a double layer curtain setup. It is not recommended for every day sliding, especially for non-sheer thicker fabrics. 

  • For a rod 1.5" in diameter, we recommend a 4" pocket opening.
  • For a rod 2" in diameter, we recommend a 5" pocket opening.
