I need to install grab bars in our fiberglass shower and I’m concerned with the fact that I may not be able to fasten it to a stud. If I fasten it to the fiberglass enclosure only I don’t know how sturdy it would be as it flexes. If I find a stud the fiberglass may still be too flexible. In checking instructions for one set it mentions a kit that looks like it is for Sheetrock and not fiberglass. The points where I would install the bars can vary from about 1”-2” between fiberglass and Sheetrock. It seems to me that there should be a rigid tube between the fiberglass and the Sheetrock but I can’t find any such anchor system. It seems that the manufacturers of the bars don’t want to bring fiberglass showers and tubs into the discussion - perhaps a liability concern.
Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated.
