Haryaers Black Long Curtain Rod Tension Shower Curtain Rods 30 to 120 inch Adjustable Heavy Duty No Drill
Haryaers' black long tension shower curtain rod adjusting from 30 to 120 inch, a heavy duty no drill rod for long spans.
Standard rods and curtains hang at a height set for average showers, which means the top of the curtain sits near your shoulders and water finds every gap. Mounting the rod higher to cover a tall body needs a rod that reaches further up and, often, spans a wider opening. The rods here extend longer and mount higher so you can raise the whole curtain and keep the spray where it belongs. Pair a raised rod with an extra long curtain so the added height does not leave the bottom short.
