My problem is a corner bathtub built, the wall stands in front of the shower head. At that time I bent a lot of effort the plastic sheets of a normal shower. :-( Something else did not exist Now I have ordered the ring rod, attached and am thrilled attachment with the enclosed material very well, strength (despite old building wall) great !! My wife is satisfied Side note:... Aluminum polished chrome has a something other than the silver tone chrome shower rods and showers. Who cares ....
