Align the caddy with the pole.
Hold the caddy up to the pole. Make sure that you have it aligned so that the pole fits snugly inside the caddy’s cup.
Tighten the bolt on the bottom of the caddy cup by turning it clockwise. Do this until you can no longer turn it, but be careful not to break it.
Make sure that the caddy is secure on the pole and will not fall down. Then, add your shower accessories to the caddy.
To keep your tension rod caddy looking new, clean it with a non-abrasive cleaner once a week to remove soap scum and mildew buildup.
Make sure the caddy is aligned with all of the marks on the pole and starting at the designated level (in our case, 4 feet)
First, measure the height of your shower head on the wall. The bottom of the caddy should be installed at least 4 feet from the floor.
Using a level or a tape measure, mark off where you’ll want the bottom of the caddy to be secured. Once you’ve marked off this initial spot, use a pencil to mark off every 4 inches, up to the top of your shower head.
Next, screw in the two tension screws on either side of pole. If you don’t want to drill into your tile or wall, you can use adhesive wall pads instead.
Slowly extend the pole toward the ceiling until it is flush against your shower head and all four rubber pads are touching tile or wall surface.
Secure the caddy to the pole
Secure the caddy to the pole.
Most tension poles have a thumb-screw cap at the bottom of the pole. Use it to secure the caddy to the pole.
If your caddy does not have a thumb screw, then you will need to wrap wire around the pole and caddy. Cut a piece of 20 gauge wire about 1 foot long (30 cm). Attach one end of the wire to the bottom of the pole and then wrap it around both the pole and caddy (or use two wires, one going around each leg). Twist and squeeze the ends together so that they stay attached. This is a temporary solution until you get a grip cap or shower curtain tension rod.
Double-check that it’s straight.

2. Place the adjustable feet on a flat surface inside the tub or shower. Rotate the feet until they lock into place.

Remove any sharp edges with a file or sandpaper before reassembling.
