The maximum length a closet rod can span without additional support typically depends on the material and diameter of the rod, the gauge of the steel and how much weight will be hung on it. For most metal rods with a standard diameter, the recommended unsupported span is usually around 4 to 5 feet. Longer spans may require additional brackets or center supports to prevent sagging and ensure stability.
