Shower curtain rod for angled walls, where or how??

| We're tiling two showers, neither with two parallel surfaces to attach shower rods to. On searching the web, I found curved rods with "pivoting flanges," but curved rods won't do. Could one of those be retrofitted to hold a straight rod? Or is there something else made that would work? We could hang from the ceiling in one of them if someone knew where appropriate hardware could be purchased, and what it's called. Thanks for any help you can give. |

| Not sure what the setup is, but old claw tubs that had curtains hung around them had ceiling mounted suspense rods. I am not sure how that would look exactly likely not great... What about curtain hardware that holds rods, used in a creative way... |

| Hi, Pepperidge. Both are possibilities for sure. After all we're just holding up a pipe, and in our rather old-fashioned layouts the pipes will be over doorways and hidden behind solid walls. I am wondering about rust and would prefer to buy something made for showers. I just like curtains better than glass doors for us, so our master bath shower will have a cloth curtain framing its doorway and the plastic curtain inside. The other bath is a powder room with a shower for the occasional guest hidden behind a wood door, so in this case a curtain is just a way of making it work. Does anyone have one of those pivoting flange units sold on curved rods? |

| Would this from Ikea work? It says "Hinge in the fixture; makes it possible to change angle for more flexible use." |

| I don't know if these are still available (this one's probably from 1960), but is this what you mean?

| I think this is what you are looking for, there are a variety of options for installations, and configurations. ctlady, that type of rod support is on this website- nice pic! |

| Sorry for the delay in coming back and saying Thank You! Thank you!, everyone! CTLady that's it exactly. It's now on order as it's exactly what we need for the master bath and probably for both; however, an angle/wall space in our little guest shower is so tight I've got that Ikea item tucked happily away in mind as a backup. The tilers are busy at work, and it's looking nice, even with budget tile. Now I have to start shopping for a nice cream lace curtain to go on the outside... |
