Adjustable Traversing Baton-Operated Curtain Rods. If you need your curtains to open and close with ease, then baton traverse rods are the option for you. Baton traverse rods are used for operable drapes or sheers without another layer of fabric behind them. You can combine traverse rods with valance rods for a stationary layer in front of your drapery if you need to. Traverse curtain rods are available with three different draw styles: center (sometimes called split), one-way left, or one-way right. For one-way rods, the designation of left or right refers to the side of the rod where you want your drapery to stack. You'll want to hang pleated drapes or sheers on a traverse curtain rod using drapery pins. There are several styles of drapery pins made specifically for different types of curtains.
