I have to put in a couple of rails in a shower for best friends father that had stroke.

Everywhere else I've used a 2x4 and just get onto some good studs in the house since there is no blocking. 70s house with tile surround.

I'm thinking maybe synthetic 2x4 in the shower but I've never used. Just get it in the area we need it and lag it into studs I'll have to find by pilot holes and stud finder.. and then screw rails to it.

I may even have to build the rails to fit but thats another story.

Thanks for any input. Kind of hate to put a wood 2x4 in there. But if thats a better thing I"ll just have to epoxy paint it or something.

Thanks, Jeff

PS may not reply to posts, leaving for the weekend in a few hours but I'll appreciate all the input come next week.
