ABSTRACT:
A tension rod assembly is provided that includes first and second telescoping rod sections. An outer diameter of the second rod section is larger than an outer diameter of the first rod section. First and second end members are provided. Each of the first and second end members has a recess with substantially the same inner diameter. The first end member is adapted to be received on the end of the first rod section. The second end member is adapted to be received on the end of the second rod section. An adapter is interposed between the end of the first rod section and the first end member. The adapter is configured to compensate for the difference in the outer diameters of the first and second rod sections such that identical end members can be used on both ends of the tension rod.
