Curtain rod won t stay in wall.

The shower rod can be adjusted from 44 in. Instant curtain rod holders wrap around the top corners of your window molding. You don t need any tools to install this shower curtain rod. The best way to mount anything on.

So when i tried screwing it into the wall it just made really big holes the black long screws went in but they were loose and flimsy. Along with the screws in the curtain rod package it also came with white plastic screws though they were not sharp but not sure what they are for. The walls are tile and it s a rental so i can t drill into them. Drywall may look solid enough but it won t hold a screw and if you mount a curtain rod improperly you ll end up with a sagging curtain and a hole to patch.

You ll have to patch up these holes which may be a bit of a pain to do with the textured walls but it s doable. Get some small screws or nails again you can ask at the hardware. Every few days the tension rod holding my shower curtain up was falling down. The best thing to do is avoid drywall anchors and screw directly into a stud.

Both ends of the rod must meet at precise right angle to the wall horizontally and vertically. Clever brackets exist that allow you to mount a curtain rod directly to the corners of the wood molding around your window instead of in the wall. Tightening the tension rod enough to compress the liner should make the rod secure enough. The lining material won t damage the wall and is easy to trim to the contours of the caps with scissors.

In the wall surrounding the window are 2x4 studs of solid wood the window frame is put into the stud frame when it s installed. If there s one close enough that it looks okay you should do that. The next best option is probably to use a toggle bolt anchor. Thats all the curtain rod info states.

It stays in place thanks to twisting tension but don t worry it won t damage your walls.
