A shower curtain rod
You can make a very nice and hip looking
shower curtain rod yourself, if you want to. The tricky part is figuring
out how to install it against the walls of the shower or where ever it is
needed. Sometimes you can use pre made installation brackets, or you may
be able to do something yourself like attach it with some nails or screws
or by making holes in the wall to push the rod into, in which case you
would probably want to also use an adhesive, a glue, or other product,
plus a caulk sealant.
You can create a nice shower curtain rod out of any material that is not
going to be corrupted by water. For example, you can use a length of
plastic pipe, like pvc pluming pipe, to make a rod, or you can use other
materials like stainless steel or chrome plated metal or aluminum. And you
can use wood, if it is sealed with a sealer to keep it from getting wet
and rotting. And there are some natural woods like teak and bamboo, that
are resistant to moisture and will also work very well to use to hang your
curtain in the shower.
There are some people who do not have a conventional type of box shaped or
closet shaped shower, and instead they have a shower built over a standard
bathtub or by some other arrangement that requires the use of a curtain
that goes around the tub in a circle, semicircle, or oval fashion. For
those with that kind of need, there are a number of excellent shower
curtain rod designs that are curved, and if you ask for a curved rod at
any bath or plumbing supply store, the people should be able to help you
locate one.
