Can this rod be cut to a shorter length and still be usable?

Maybe but they offer smaller length rods with the same design.this is a very skinny lightweight rod don't plan on hanging anything to heavy

No. Unless you fully extend it, the rod will just slide back and forth to any length.

There are indents in the steel legs, that yes, I believe it could be shortened. I just love this shelf.

Yes, it can be made shorter. In fact, we have this light hanging in a bedroom quite close to the ceiling, otherwise people would be always running into it.

I suppose they could be trimmed to shorten the length but the spikes are a bit brittle and cutting might shatter the whole spike. Hope that helps.

I see no reason you could not. Just install the rod brackets where you want and cut a rod to fit.

I don't remember the exact length of the rod but you can add about an 1 1/2 inch to the length with the base and the rod holder and you can cut the rod and secure with set screw at rod holder for desired length less than the rod length. Christine indicated the rod length was 28 inches long.

I imagine if you do the math right, there would be no reason why you couldn't shorten it. The only hardware is the corner pieces (right angles). Just remember that you also need to shorten the boards in the center that form the "u" shape.

I'm sure you could do this, but they are sharp on the ends (pointed) so it would be a lot of work to shorten them and leave a pointed end.

The bar and ends are separate pieces, so I would think you could cut it. However, it is pretty light-weight and hollow, so it might make a mess of it unless you have precise tools.

don't know why you would want the expense or trouble. I suppose if you are a metal cutter, the rod could be shortened

The limitation of 156" is pretty obvious when I pieced the 3 sections together. You may find an extension for this type of pocket rod which can give you the desired length.

I would say yes. The shower rod is non- telescoping, so it will have to be shortened should your shower opening be of a size less than 5'9". I would suggest a hacksaw and file if that is the case.(use sturdy tape wrapped around the rod both sides of the cut to prevent scratches if the saw slips) The end mountings are somewhat adjustable for non parallel walls ; just don't cut the rods too short. Measure the opening and take it from there.

If there is extra length it can be cut off. See other questions and answers.

Yes. In fact, you may have to cut the screws with a dremel or hacksaw to make them shorter, depending on what you are mounting.

If you meant making the working rolling platform shorter- I can't see how it could be done - nor why. It is a great machine as it is. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

I don't think you will be able to shorten this. It was longer than I wanted also, so I just doubled back. I think they do make these in different lengths though.
