Use pre-cut wood, cinder blocks, or reclaimed pallets. Secure joints with heavy-duty brackets, screws, and wood glue instead of complex joinery.

Material-based:

Wood: Brad-point or spade bits.

Metal: Cobalt or titanium-coated bits.

Masonry: Carbide-tipped bits.

Size: Match the bit to your fastener’s shank diameter.

Use tension rods or adhesive-mounted rods that don't require drilling. These work well for most standard showers and are perfect for renters.
