Pro Tips

✓ Hang the rod 72–78" above the floor — higher feels more luxurious and keeps water in
✓ A curved rod adds 3–5" of elbow room without any renovation work
✓ Use a fabric curtain + separate liner — easier to wash each independently
✓ Rust-proof rings and hooks are worth the few extra dollars in a wet environment
