Mount one end support first, slip the bar into that side, slide the other bracket onto the opposite end, then raise the bar into place and mount the second support. Measure the space, mark the bar and cut it using a metal-cutting blade on a miter saw or angle grinder.Ĥ. If you have a standard 60in tub, your rod will likely be a bit too long. Do what you feel comfortable with, but I’ve never had a tile chip on me when using a hammer drill to make holes (and I’ve done it a lot). The drill does most of the work so you end up pushing on the drill with a lot less force.

Fast forward and every two weeks since finishing, we were dealing with a rod that would come crashing down! Eventually we decided, a shower curtain is always going to live there–might as well make it permanent. In fact, last year after we finished the girls’ bathroom, we thought we’d bypass the whole project and just put a tension shower rod up and call it good. Drilling into freshly laid tile is a little bit scary, even for seasoned DIYers like us.
