Shower Rod Installation - Tension Shower Rods
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- I like a tension shower rod for easy installation and replacement. I don't like shower rods that have to be cut to size and connected with a bracket and screws. You take a chance of cracking tiles when you drill the holes for the screws.

hi there was just wondering were tou get the tension rod for bathroom for curtain
@@maxinerobinson5960 pretty sure from Target or Walmart
Well mine keep falling down i need one that screws in the wall!!!
I wanted to thank you!
I took my curtains down to wash them. Then I struggled (along with my 14 year old grandson) to get them back up.
After an hour or so my smart grandson got his phone and did a TH-cam search which brought us to you! We had that darn rod back up in less than five minutes.
Thank you so much! I was on the verge of tossing that rod out the door!

Yes I agree!!! Straight and to the point and my shower rod is back up and working.
My shower rod stayed up from about 7:30pm to 1:00am and then fell down. We have a clear shower curtain and a lightweight fabric one.
I fought these for years and my blood pressure suffered until one day I decided to install a steel bar with steel backing plates. I can do pull ups on my shower curtain rod now and my blood pressure has never been lower. Trust me guys, you'll thank me.
Mystery solved, thanks for bailing me out. I was really starting to feel like I was too dense to get it, but that's why we have the internet search button. Clear and concise instructions!

I am 66 and not disabled. But I just renovated my house and put 2 grab bars in each shower. I don't want a serious injury if I fall in the shower! The grab bars are attached to the wood framing in the walls under the fiberglass shower. I also put lever style door handles on every door as these are easier to use if you develop arthritis. Both the grab bars and lever style handles are for aging in place. My house is one story so I should be good for many years!
This really helped! My shower rod just fell out of no where, and when trying to reinstall it, it kept on falling down. I didn't know the knob at the end could tighten aside from the 2 rods. After doing what you did in your video, my rod is back up, and even with some pulling, it stays firm in place! Thank you for this video!!
You're welcome.

Update us after five years. Is it still holding up?
I'll try both, because I'm having a hard time with this flimsy Walmart rod. It also doesn't help that I'm short.
I installed the old one by myself though.
This is just what I was looking for I put one up last night got up this morning it was on the floor. Thank u for this!!
Did it keep falling?
Its videos like yours is why TH-cam exists. Thank you!

If you have any balance or stability issues - a mounted rod is much better. If you have to grab it to steady yourself it will stay firm and act like a support. A tension mount will give and cause an even worse fall due to the sudden release of the rod from the walls.
Good point! My tension rod annoys me, it is always slipping. My grandparents are moving in with me, and could very well slip. I am going to change mine to a mounted rod.
If you have balance and mobility issues you should install grab bars firmly attached to the studs. I have two in each shower. A long bar on the long wall about three feet high and a short grab bar to hold as you step into the tub. A shower curtain rod is not designed to hold the weight of a falling person and may be too high to grab if you are slipping in the shower.
If you have balance issues mount a handicap rail don't depend on a shower curtain!
Gee there are a lot of negative comments. But this video is exactly what I was looking for. I find it helpful.

These things are fantastic! I put about 40lbs of clothes on one in my closet, and it lasted for a few years. So a 8lb shower curtain should be no problem!
This man in this video taught me how to lock up my shower rod which kept falling. I was looking to the youtube for a replacement rod and ran to this man in this video.
Fantastic video...I'm doing this installation myself! Yes, the drilling into tile causes lots of damage so the tension rods are better!
+Ninjacatprincess Great.

For those with a tension rod that won't stay up, you can kill two birds with one stone by using those wall hooks that have a transparent base with adhesive on the back that won't mess up your tile if you ever want to remove the hooks. I use these myself on tile in the bathroom to hold up the curtain rod from under the ends of the rod. I wouldn't recommend it for walls, though, textured or otherwise since the adhesive might damage them. Just search Amazon or Google for "adhesive transparent hooks for towels". Attach one transparent-base hook to the tile at each end of the shower, just below where you want the end of the rod to touch the tiled wall. Then put up and tighten/expand your rod so the ends are just above the transparent base of the hook (not the hook itself). The transparent base of the hook will then serve to catch the rod if it wants to slip. And you can periodically re-tighten the rod every few months or whenever if you want to make sure it doesn't get too loose. This idea keeps the curtain rod up AND gives you handy, strong hooks to hang towels and things. I even use a shower curtain (plus liner) with 6 pockets used for loofah, soap, headrest, etc, and it holds up just fine.
4 years later.. but thank you so much!! ill definitely try this idea!
You just saved me from getting in a lot of trouble, it fell on me and I’m home alone and I didn’t know how to put it bacj
I need to go try this. I put one in last night but it already fell out. Maybe I didn't twist it well.
Hi, you can always add a plastic rod support to the ends if it won't stay in place.

Ah I don’t have the exact same rod but this was helpful. Everytime mine falls it usually takes me so long to fix but this time less than 5 minutes. Still mad that apartment maintenance just put mine up to the point it would stay, but not to where it was flush to the walls
Thank you so much! I was about to throw my curtain rod out the window!

Where can I find a rod where the end piece also twists for a final extra bit of tension?
I bought a tension rod called "Snug Set". I don't understand how this works if there isn't a spring inside or something. Also, mine had these 2 little plastic things on the rod when I took it apart. I have no idea if that is supposed to be used or was just to keep it safe during transport. I'm STILL confused so feel dumb I guess I'll just go try it and see if it works, I HATE when something doesn't work or I don't get it. We shall see.....
Is that the Mimi shower rod
Thanks it worked but still fell when I put the shower curtains on😢
Thank you! I recently moved into a new apartment, I'm not a very handy person. Today my shower rod fell down and I noticed that the previous tenant had improvised with a complicated setup made of gorilla tape in order to make it hold in the first place, I was super confused. Turns out it is a tension rod, and new tape isn't needed! ... for now, at least. Maybe it'll fall down again and if it does, I'll probably just replace it with another tension rod.

Hey, thanks for the video. Would you mind recommending a good rod (with link perhaps). I bought one at Walmart, their local brand which is plastic and it was no good as the locking mechanism is just off. Thanks!
thank you for letting me know that i have to rotate it and that will help expanding it. :)

Same😂😂
My shower head was up for 3 days and it fell. I did what you said, twisted the rod and as I tried to tighten the end of the rod, it would begin to fall. Is my shower rod broke? I don't know why it won't stay on the shower wall. Any advice?
OMG thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much you literally saved my life rn

My tension rod will not stay up no matter what I do.
Hi, you can add closet pole sockets at the ends. Get plastic and use stainless steel screws, double backed tape or an adhesive like Lexel to hold them in place.

Thank you. It just aggravates me that I need to buy extra products for an item that shouldn't need them.
Get a one-piece rod.
I have one of the ones that you twist together. It was fine for a couple of years and then fell down the other day. It seems stuck in it's width now - I can't expand it or contract it. It's stuck. Do I use WD 40 or force twist it with a couple of wrenches?
Thanks.
Straight forward, thank you 🙏

What if both rods keep slipping after :"tighten the smaller rod"?
Hi, it depends on the model. Some rods have cheap springs and won't tighten. I would return it and try a new one.
