Is there anything out there like a 'reverse turnbuckle'? Similar to shower curtain rod, that is a little more industrial. Something that spreads outwards by turning....well...a turnbuckle.
Basically trying to hang 3 lightweight paper lanterns in between two brick columns. The problem is that the columns go (from the floor) through the ceiling, up to the next floor. There is an opening (kind of window) where I can get up above the ceiling and still see the columns. I am trying to create 'outwards pressure' between the columns so that I have a 'beam' of sorts to hang the lanterns from. I don't want people to see the rod, just the lanterns. The width of the window is about 3ft. (see really crappy attached photo).
A shower curtain rod would probably work as the total weight of these lanterns is about 3lbs. I am just trying to see if there is anything better out there that I can re-use for other purposes. (Basically saying a shower curtain rod is a stupid idea and I am trying my hardest to get something a little more 'professional')
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
John
