We do not have a 28 inch shower rod however I do have an option for you. If you're willing to do some modification to the Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod # EXT-3542 it can be cut to fit.
First off you'll need the following tools:
Tools Needed:
Tape measure
Philips screwdriver
Pipe cutter or hack saw
Electric drill
3/16 inch drill bit
Tape
Attach both the left and right arms to the center rod and remove one of the fittings from the center rod for either side with the arms still attached.
Next, lay the tape measure out on a flat surface to represent the width of the shower. Lay out the Extend-A-Shower on both ends of the tape measure, placing the right and left tubes at a 45 degree angle to the shower opening (see diagram A). The center rod will intersect the detached arm at the location that needs to be trimmed (see diagram B). Tape the area to be trimmed to protect the finish, then mark and trim the rod.
After that, use either a tube cutter or fine tooth hack saw to trim down the shower rod. Be sure to re-drill the hole at the end you cut on the same plane as the other side, so there is no twist in the mounting bracket.
Finally, when installing the shower rod, make sure the screw heads are down. There is no dimple in the piece that was just trimmed, so the screw head will interfere with the shower rings if they are located at the top of the shower rod.
