I'm looking to hang a curtain on my balcony, but since there aren't any walls to use a tension rod, I was thinking of adhering the curtain rod directly to the ceiling with a super strong adhesive. I'm also considering sealing it with caulk to keep moisture from getting in, especially since I live in Canada where the weather can be pretty rough. Has anyone ever tried this method or can you recommend any effective products?

Yes, using a strong adhesive can work for attaching a curtain rod to your balcony ceiling. Just make sure you choose a suitable adhesive that can handle the weather. Caulk is also a good idea to seal gaps and protect against moisture, but be aware that using industrial adhesives might upset any landlord due to the potential for damage. If you're worried about that, maybe consider a different hanging method or a tensioned frame that doesn’t involve glue.
I'd recommend looking into acrylic porch panels; they could be a sturdier option for wind and rain compared to just curtains. Plus, they might be easier to install without damaging your balcony.
