Want to get the PPOT braintrust's thoughts on a project.

We have a big, deep cast iron clawfoot tub. I love the tub - as a tub. I don't love it - as a shower - because of the shower curtain around it. If you've used one of these, you know the dang curtain keeps clinging to your body. Also, should you lose your balance, there's nothing to stop you from falling out of the tub. And since you have to step over the high tub wall with no handhold, its not real friendly to older people - and we have older guests from time to time.

So, i am thinking about this:

Get thick (1/2"?) clear acrylic sheet, have it bent into a oval tube sort of shape, mounted - bolted to the ceiling, probably - around the tub edge as a shower surround. Have some sort of hinged sheet as a door. Mount handholds to the acrylic.

Whaddya think?

No, there's no room to build a separate shower in the bathroom.
