First Part – Taking Measurements of the Installation Height

  1. Find out the dimensions of your cat shower curtain. This should be quite simple if you are getting a new curtain. The dimensions are usually printed on the package. If this curtain isn’t new, then you need to take measurements yourself using a tape. The regular size is always a perfect square, 74 x 74 inches.
  2. To gain assurance of your curtain hanging properly, take the dimension of the space. Usually, your curtain needs to hang at least 2 inches above the floor. This is really important because it prevents the curtain from collecting dirt and excess moisture. The cat fabric shower curtain should also be a minimum of 5 inches lower than the edge of your bathtub. This will ensure the curtain can contain moisture effectively.
  3. Add some 4 inches to the length of your shower curtain. The purpose for this extra inches is to create an allowance for the curtain rod when it is being installed. It is not compulsory that it should be exactly 4 inches. You can have less or more, depending on the peculiarity of your space. However, for proper placement, most people have found 4 inches really helpful and efficient.
  4. Measure the installation height with tape and make corresponding markings. It is imperative that you figure out where the rods will be suspended. To do this, take measurements using a tape measure. This way you can figure out what spot on each wall the curtain rod will hang. Make a visible marking with the help of a sharp object on both walls. These dots will be the points where each end of your rods will be suspended.

Second Part – Tension Rod Installation for Cute Cat Shower Curtain

  1. Twist the rod anticlockwise to alter the length. Two interlocking shafts are brought together to form a tension rod. To extend the length, simply find where these rods are fitted then place one of your hands on either side. To elongate the rod, twist in an anticlockwise direction. Twisting it the other way will reduce the length and make it shorter. These rods typically do not fit permanently on the wall. However, from the pressure generated by the strong spring within the rod, it is able to hold in place.
  2. Extend the rod until it touches the walls at both marked ends. You need to keep twisting the rod until it fits on both ends of the wall. At this point, you should place each end on the marking you had made previously. When you have the ends of your rod at these exact points, begin to extend it again. Extend till you have generated enough tension for a stable hold. Really, there may be no need to take measurements when using a tension rod. However, if you must then make sure there’s an inch extra on your rod. This is necessary for a snug fit.
  3. Test the tension to ensure that your rod fits the space perfectly. The best method of checking this is by shortening the rod to its original length and lengthening it again. When you have repeated the process described above, you will be able to figure out the fit of the rod. One thing you should note is that the more you lengthen the rod, the less tension will be generated. This translates to one thing, less stability. If the rod isn’t generating the required tension, it is advisable you get another rod for your cute cat shower curtain.

Then,

  1. Ensure your rod is straight by using a level. If the rod isn’t straight, it will disfigure your cat shower curtain. Placing a level horizontally will help you figure this out easily. All you need to do is place the level at the center of the rod and watch the tiny bubble. If the rod isn’t straight, keep tweaking until it is.

Third Part – Mounted Rod Installation for Cute Cat Shower Curtain

  1. Check out your hardware. Mounted rods are always accompanied by hardware. The package should be made up of two mounting brackets and about 8 screws. It may be different in some packages.
  2. Affix the brackets to the opposite walls. Since you have already taken measurements, simply affix the brackets above the markings. Follow the accompanying instructions for best results but most likely, you will need a drill.
  3. Fit your rod into the affixed brackets. Before putting up your cat fabric shower curtain, you need to be double sure that the rod is installed firmly. Simply put the rod into the brackets and check for any loose screws.

Fourth Part – Hanging Your Cute Cat Shower Curtain and Liner

  1. Place the hooks over the rod. Generally, you should have 12 hooks in a pack. If your hooks have any decorations then they should be facing out into the bathroom, not the other way round. You just need to snap the hooks into place as they mostly come in ring form. Just make sure they are free enough to slide along the rod.
  2. Ensure the left edge of the liner and cat shower curtain line up. The curtain should rest on the liner that is closest to you with the liner going beneath. Liners aren’t always necessary but when you have a cat fabric shower curtain, you’ll need one. Liners are clear plastic in nature and protect the curtain from moisture. Line the holes at the top of the curtain and liner so that the rings can pass through.
  3. Thread the hooks through the liner and curtain. After ensuring that your liner is on the inside of the setup, begin to thread the hooks through the liner and curtain. Keep doing this until all 12 hooks fix properly.
  4. Double-check to ensure the cat shower curtain slides properly and the rod is firm enough. You may need to tug the cut fabric shower curtain a little to confirm this. Also, slide the curtain back and forth to ensure for free movement of the hooks.

Conclusion

By now, you must have discovered that installing your cute cat shower curtain is not so difficult. These steps all carried out in less than an hour and you’d be having fun with your new curtain.
