What makes this so special? Has anyone tried to just purchase a cheap plastic curtain &amp; cut the openings &amp; attach weights in it yourself?

It's a nice, heavy-duty material. You don't need to thread hooks through the grommets on top, they are designed to just snap around the shower curtain rod. I HAVE cut cheap plastic curtains and that works ok, but they tend to keep ripping, it's hard to judge the best place to cut to approximate the bench in the right place. For the $20 it saves me aggravation.

Are u trying to cut up the shower curtain to make something? If so that's pointless just go to the craft store and they have all kinds of similar materials that would make more sense to buy

I would try contacting the company. However, I just looked at mine, and it's just a heavy hollow metal bar, 23" long, and 3/4" wide. It feels like a curtain rod, only heavier. It does have a little prong on each side, but this is not really necessary as it drops quite a ways down into the slot. Personally, I would just duct tape it on if it seemed to come loose. I'd almost bet you could find something that would be that size at Home Depot, or a hardware store, and they maybe could cut it down if necessary. It doesn't have to be hollow either, although the original is. Hope this helps.

I also have a small window, but left it alone. The colors in this curtain are so vibrant, I don't think you need anything. You could always get the shower curtain & than decide.

That's what we did. Just a pair of scissors. Shower curtains are cheap anyway. If you have a nice one get a cheap one and just cut it at the slides. I even took the curtain and sewed the edges so it would be smoother works fine. Pop is gone now but I still keep it in the tub, I may need it I ain't getting any younger myself. When you get used to it it really is not in the way. Hope that helps you decide.

When I purchased my liners they snapped into the shower curtain (one piece open top and solid bottom) with snaps to put the liner in. Bed Bath Beyond has them and I think amazon does, too.

I would check home décor in Amazon under curtains. I was able to get a curtain for my bathroom at my local store because it was a regular size..

The picture does not show any matching curtains. I haven't looked for any either. I bought solid curtains at a local store to match. other suggestion would be to buy inexpensive sheet set and sew them into curtains! Loved my quilt set though! Hope this helped.

The reason for this "Shower Bench" is to be able to "slide" into the tub. Why would you even think about cutting up something so expensive. Just find a cheep bench to sit on that fits your tub.

Thanks everyone. I decided to match the aqua / turquoise color to the curtains. I thought that would look super with the colors in this design. I appreciate the help and know my brother and his girlfriend will love this!

I bought a black curtain to use as a liner. You can see shadows/outlines through it. The holes for the curtain rings are button hole stitched instead of having metal grommets.

net curtains have fabric loops, and come with small plastic loops (similar to what you might use for a shower curtain but smaller) that loop through loops on net and cross bars on gazebo frame (once attached they can slide much like a shower curtain). (did i use the word loop enough :) ) I'd take a photo for you but mine is still packed away for the season.

buy a vinyl one and cut it in half----you will have a proper curtain, and another for next time.

Wow, I didn't even realize there was plastic in there because it is concealed in the hem at the bottom. Just FYI, the seam is folded on the outside, but done nicely so I think it would work as a curtain liner...neat idea!

Hi. Where the two rods meet there is a tapered plastic washer that eliminates a severe bump or seam. The curtain slides easily and doesn't get hung up due to that tapered washer.

No - it's really easy - you just use the rings of the existing shower curtain and hang it in the inside. Wish I'd had mine years ago - love it!

All you are buying is the raw fabric. Sorta like when you buy the fabric for a screen door. If you want to make the fabric into a curtain or something, you will have to sew it (or have it sewn) and fasten it. On mine, I sewed a 1.5" double hem across the top. I heated the tip of a screw driver and melted holes 12" apart so I could run screws though it to screw to a rafter. I ran a 1" hem down both sides to give it a clean, strong edge. Then I sewed a 2.5" hem in the bottom and ran a piece of PVC tube though it to secure the bottom. I can also roll it up around the PVC tube inside the bottom hem..
