This rod doesn't have to be screwed to the walls? I have acrylic shower stall, so no drilling can be done to the stall.

There are no screws or holes required. There is a spring inside the rod, and you turn the rod to make it push out against the walls. The rod isn't made to hold a lot of weight, but does fine with shower curtain. I don't know how many towels I would drape over it though.

No drilling. It's spring loaded and stays put. It helped to read the suggestions on Amazon. The directions made it look like you could tilt it down and it would easily extend for sizing. Took a bit of effort. Looks good. Glad I got it.

It does not have the ability to screw into the wall, the rod turns within itself until it is tightly against the wall on both ends and stays there beautifully.

No drilling required. It's a tension rod and stays up very well on its own.

No need for screws. It is a tension rod..mine hasn't fallen down yet. Not to mention I've also hung wet laundry from it, and it hasn't collapsed on me once from any extra weight..

Yes. The wall mounts are hinged so it could be mounted to a flat wall or inside a creviced area. In principal, if you adjust the length of the rod the angle of the mounts will change and the design has accounted for that.

You can install it with the rod, or without the rod. The rod length is fixed; it's short.

Both sides of the bar are mounted to the wall, so if you can drill a hole or get a nail through it, you should be fine. There also may be an adapter that can be purchased that will eliminate the need to drill holes.

By code tempered glass is used in showers, thus no drilling. I suppose you could custom order the glass and have the holes drilled before it is tempered, but that is expensive. The end brackets were designed to be screwed into a wall, using a adhesive wouldnt be a permanent or good solution.

You muct use curtain hangers which will allow removal of the curtain. Once the two rods are assembled to the walls, you can not slip off a curtain with holes.

Mounting the brackets into studs is always preferable, but not always possible. In my bathroom, the bracket on one end of the shower rod is mounted into a stud behind the drywall; the other end isn't. But I used very good mounting anchors-plastic anchors with a wide "flair," not the less effective ones provided with the rod-to secure that end. So far (after three months), it remains solidly mounted.

? On the actual shelf? Or the wall beneath it? I'd be more confident in the wall installation. You screw in a bracket with 2 screws and then slide the nice piece onto it and secure with a little screw. If you don't plan to overload the rod, then you could probably get away with it.

Easily,Make the rod 1" larger than the opening and tighten it clockwise. This fixes it in place. It will be 1" larger than the opening. Then simply compess it to fit in the opening. It could not be much simpler. ....... It is patented...It does not work like other rods which you have to twist into place and have walk around your shower wall.John R.

Yes, that's how we have it installed and it's been holding up very well, even when I use it as a drying rack for my jeans! I worried at first but now treat it as I would any shower rod...

Yes - it has something like an internal spring - and it always "pushes out" and that is what holds it up. The ends have something like "rubberized" caps that keep it from slipping on the tile. This is a classic design that is commonly used unless you actually want to screw the rod into the walls. It is adjustable in length by "turning the two ends". It's simple once you see it. I have used rods like this for decades in the shower and smaller, decorative ones for windows (if you put the drape inside the framing). Works well. Hope this answer helps

Mine is mounted in a 8 foot ceiling bathroom with a built in tub, using standard length curtains. The vertical rod that attaches to the ceiling is adjustable. I ran a pipe out of the spigot for the shower head that I clamped the horizontal mount to, but it can bolt to the wall. Hope that helps.

I have mine mounted on dry wall using anchors that screw into the wall. No drilling required. You can get them from Home Depot or lowes. Easy to use.

We didn't do it ourselves, our bathroom also had half concrete walls then half studs. So the top was green board and the stall was glued to it then the bottom was secured to the concrete with the walls screwed into it. Not sure if this was any help but we haven't had any problems with it.

It is not a huge box and it is actually a rather small rod. IF you extend it all the way? you will need to support it in the center. I am using it for a curtain rod. NOT all the way extended and not heavy curtains but I needed to support it in the center. My point was NOT to drill holes anywhere.

I am using this stand without any screws. I just lean it to the wall, and that's it. Very convenient, no drilling needed.

The rod is held in place at a distance you choose. So if you already had holes in the wall from your old shower bar this will work just great. You are going to love this unit. It is extremely well made.
