I'm needing help. I have a window that's 94" wide by 36" long. There is a small top overhang where I could attach a curtain rod and I intend to. But I would also like to hang some shear curtains below the topper and would like to use a tension rod. Is there a possibility that the make them in this width?

i don't think so, but you can get really tiny (like 1/4") rods with small brackets that you could use (inside mount). you'll probably need a center support, too, even with a tiny rod & really lightweight sheers - gravity alone will probably make that rod sag a little & then your curtains will droop.

If you do want to go with the extra long tension rod in spite of potential sag, I found one here, after looking for a long, long time!
