Is there such a thing as having a 47" shower as opposed to having the standard 48" sold at the store? I measure the width of my wall, and it is clearly 47", but the showers at the home improvement stores are 48". Do I have a non-standard sized shower and have to special order?

I'm looking and 3 piece wall shower sets. The base still needs to be special ordered at 47" though, right? I wouldn't think you can fudge the base by an inch.

I encountered this recently myself. You should special order. It often doesn't cost much more anyway.

Sometimes these molded units have a leeway on the width. They allow for breathing, etc. Measure one at the store and see if you don't get closer to 47". If not, you could get a small unit and fill it in with molding, etc.
