Should I get a spring tension shower rod or a regular one?

[ManBearPig]

Thoughts? How often do spring tension rods fall off (or don't they)? Thanks bros.

I've had the same spring tension rod in my bathroom for over 10 years and it's still in place and strong. Has only fallen down once that I know of and that was because I accidentally hit it with a mop handle one day.

I've had this one for a while now, and I looooove it.

Three different threads for the same issue.

no...

one was about how to fix a screw so i could reinstall a shower rod, one was about double versus single rods, and this was about tension vs regular rods. i couldve probably combined those somehow but would have gotten less effective answers. apologize if i offended you or took your time.

That's cool. We have a hotel rod like that but it doesn't pivot.

That is pretty sweet.

So you guys think a tension rod would stay up then?

 

[Gothgar]

You are good either way, the tension rods have always worked for me

Is getting a new shower curtain a major life event for you or something? This is the 3rd thread.

Once you use a curved shower rod, you won't go back...it seriously makes the shower feel alot larger...only drawback is that you might have to drill into the tile or drywall...

Whichever one you buy, make sure you get the extended warranty along with it!

Be careful not to break the screw hole when you put it in or your rod might fall off.

This is the oddest self parody series we've had in awhile. I never had any luck with spring tension rods. However they might prevent a suicide.

As long as it's perpendicular to both walls, level, and tight, sure. I prefer built-in stainless though.

they don't fall... I actually bought a twist one that expands - I don't know how it will last the test of time yet.

Man we really don't have anything important to worry about do we?
