ok...I think I have a problem...
We added a bathroom upstairs in our house.
We put a full shower stall (42" wide) in a corner of this bathroom, in a location recommended by the guy doing the rough in plumbing....can't remember the depth off hand, but I don't think it's that important.
let me try to describe this...
As you face the shower the roof begins its pitch about midway across the shower, running right to left.
So the left side of the shower is only approximately 60" at it's lowest point.
The right side of the shower is just under eight feet.
I didn't figure that I would be able to find a shower insert to fit these dimensions, so I thought I would tile.
I am realizing that trying to find a door is probably going to be next to impossible also, due to the odd shape of the opening... not only that, but how do you even hang a shower rod across the stupid thing?
I am wondering if it is even going to be possible to pull this off...
thoughts?

Install an 8" fixed panel on the short side, and with the mounting hardware and hinge bracket, it should leave you with a 32" door.
