I have some long ones over the sliding deck door. I put extra hangers in and used some toggle bolts if they didn't hit studs. Then just put up a few more curtain sections so they can spread out and look good with the extra wall brackets. You can probably get away with putting the wall brackets behind the section of curtain that folds out from the rod. I didn't want to stretch them and have light come through so I used an extra section of curtain. Curtains need support and don't skimp on hardware. I hung brackets for each stud in the closet to hold up the shelf and closet rod. I can load it up pretty good and not worry about it.
