Tension Shower Rods Anyone???
Comments (7)I have a tension rod in my tile shower with both a decorative curtain and cloth liner on it and have had no problems with it coming down at all. I also have a tension rod in the guest fiberglass shower stall and have no problems when it's used. I don't think I've ever had one as long as would be required for a bathtub though, and wonder how well a longer length would hold the weight of a wider curtain and deal with potential sag in the middle that might drag it off the wall?...See MoreNeed extra-long tension rod
Comments (7)Would it be possible to make your own custom ceiling rod with pipes and fittings from a hardware or big box home store? I'm thinking a couple of threaded ceiling plates, a five or six inch piece of pipe coming down vertically from the ceiling (or whatever you need to accommodate the different ceiling heights--one side could be one inch, the other five inches), one horizontal 98 inch piece of pipe and 90 degree connecting pipes to put the pieces together. Really, I'm envisioning a typical ceiling rod with extension pieces coming from the ceiling connection. The pipe could be painted or whatever. That rod seems a bit unstable to me. You might buy it and try it out though....See Moredecorative tension rod ??? 36'
Comments (16)I use shower curtain rods for my two portieres. I found that if I wasn't careful, which I frequently am not - lol, I would step on the puddled drape. So I hemmed them to just above floor length. And trust me, you want the rod firmly pressed into the opening, otherwise it will come tumbling down with the least bit of pull on the drape. I wish I could use velvet, but I'm afraid of dog fur clinging to the drape....See MoreShower Curtain Rod that matches Delta Champagne Bronze
Comments (59)I got the YNL shower curtain rod recommended above from Amazon (thank you @Sarah Pecor!) and found these shower curtain hooks in brass that match pretty well from Parachute. They have a nice weight to them and when I walk in the room to me it all matches. They don’t stand out and don’t look super yellow which is what I’ve been trying to avoid. I find that brass looks different in different lighting and also different in person vs in pictures. To me it’s close enough and I’m happy with the closeness to my delta trinsic champagne brass hardware. I held up a towel rod for a color comparison. https://www.parachutehome.com/products/shower-curtain-hooks?options=color_brass...See Morekl_knighton
