And ordinary traverse rod, and parallelogram (or triangle)-shaped curtains?
With the gather on the downhill end? You can string a traverse rod to be
end-opening, like people do for apartment-door sliders that are less than a
foot from the corner. If you have the pull cord on the uphill end, and put
one of those spring-loaded tensioners on it, there should be enough friction
to hold the curtains closed. Of course, this Assumes no interference with
the windows and doors below, and enough solid surfaces and space to screw
everything.
Kinda hard to say without seeing it. Can you post pictures somewhere, and
put a link in a followup? I actually curious what you come up with.
