How To: Make an Industrial Style Curtain Rod

In our tiny guest house project, I mentioned that I made a shower curtain rod from electrical conduit for a great industrial feel. Not only did this give a cool style to the bathroom, but it is extremely affordable (under $25!)

and can be shaped to any odd sized shower enclosure.

The most expensive part is the conduit bender which can run about $50.

However, if you don’t need to bend your conduit like I did for the neo-angle shower, then you can skip this item and step. Take into account the length that the adapter and pipe fittings will add.

This one is a bit of trial and error if you are trying to match an exact angle like I was. If you’re screwing into tile or drywall, you’ll need anchors.

Level the assembled rod on the wall and mark where the anchors will go.

Note: It’s very important to set the rod at the correct height for your shower curtain!

You now have an inexpensive industrial looking shower curtain enclosure that can be custom fit to any size or shape shower.
