My Experience Installing An L Shaped Shower Rod

Recently, I decided to install an L shaped shower rod in my bathroom. It was a bit of a challenge as I am not a handy person, but I was determined to do it myself and save some money on hiring a professional.

How To Install L Shaped Shower Rod

Installing an L shaped shower rod is not as difficult as it may seem. Here is a step by step guide:

Step 1: Measure

Measure the length of your shower stall and the height of the ceiling to determine the length of the L shaped shower rod you need. Make sure to leave enough space for your shower curtain to hang without touching the bottom of the shower stall.

Step 2: Assemble the Rod

Assemble the L shaped shower rod according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Most L shaped shower rods come in two pieces that need to be connected with a coupler.

Step 3: Mount the Brackets

Mount the brackets to the wall using screws and a drill. Make sure the brackets are level and secure.

Step 4: Hang the Rod

Hang the L shaped shower rod on the brackets. Adjust the length of the rod and tighten the set screws to secure it in place.
