A Rod A rod is a unit of distance equal to 5.5 yards or 16.5 feet.
Measure the circumference of your curtain rod. Add 1/2 inch to this measurement. For example, a standard curtain rod will measure 2 inches around so your rod pocket opening will need to be 2 1/2 inches; add this to the length of your curtains. Continental curtain rods may measure up to ten inches around, so be sure you measure.
