Can this be used as a shower curtain rod? Will it rust?

I am sorry but I'm not sure. I ordered them for my aunt to use as curtain rods.

We bought this for our disabled son, 6 foot 6, 240 pounds. We've had it for a few months now and have seen no rust. It's made of aluminum and plastic, so not much to rust except possibly some screws but I think they are stainless steel and brass. It sits in the shower all the time. Hope this helps.

I would assume, like any metal object, if it gets wet or put in any moist area, it will rust. My suggestion to you is: if you need something for outside, stick with plastic.

No: it can be hung on same rod as the shower curtain. I certainly did that .

That is exactly the reason I purchased them..no rust but they are extremely hard to get apart. Probably about half ended up crumbling to pieces when we pried apart. The ones that I am using on the shower curtain work great.

no, it will not. rod needs 2 walls facing each other like in your bathroom shower to work. the end brackets will not flex far enough back to make contact to the wall. I tried to use it over my bed as a curved canopy. it didn't work.

Not sure about rust. I have this in my basement guest bathroom so it doesn't get regular use. So far it's held up nicely though.

I only bought mine for indoor use. I do believe it would rust quickly, unless you use it in a gazebo so the elements don't get at it too quickly.

Mine is a one piece stainless steel rod. There are hidden extenders in the ends to adjust or add a few inches that are a little tricky on the install but help make sure it fits. I've had mine for six months and there are no signs of rust. I highly recommend. Makes a big difference in a smaller bathroom and well worth the money.

No, I wouldn't put a curtain rod on it. The shape will not hold it in place properly.

It's metal so I'm pretty sure it would rust over time if it gets wet. It IS beautiful. I have it as the centerpiece in a collage of crosses on a wall.

I do not see why not. It is an all plastic construction, so it would not rust. However, it is not waterproof!

It's got quite a few metal parts that are exposed. Those probably wouldn't rust if you dried them really well but I don't know if you'd be able to. I probably wouldn't try it.

I would think it would. I used it for protecting a chrome shower rack and it worked nicely. But I would be sure to clean the surface as best you can. If it is rusty, I would use sandpaper to smooth the finish, and then wipe clean. Best of luck. Betty in Franklin, TN

The rod and mounting hardware are heavy duty with a painted coating (maybe baked on) and could easily withstand a shower environment and it would look good, too. I used a hacksaw to cut it to the size I wanted and it was not too difficult to cut.

yes it is a one piece rod. not sure what it is made of, but i have had mine for 3 years with no rust. \i really like the fact that you can flip the rod into the tub area when not using it. It makes the bathroom feel bigger

Yes. I have waited for along time for a expandable shower caddy and thought that this was the perfect one. Big disappointment since it rusted within a month. How can something that goes in the shower can rust so quickly?? I tried to return it, but it was too late (over a month). :(
