Bath panel

[DARTHVADER]

Just about on the final leg of bathroom install and will be fitting the plastic panel to bath soon (B&Q Suite)

I cant seem to get my head round how the clips will work and hold the panel in place. They have two holes in and appear to be from a spring steel with a roll formed section in the centre.

The instructions are a waste of time only showing the positions of the clips but not actual how they will retain the panel.

Any help appreciated.

I hate those clips,I normally throw them away and find another solution

And yes the instructions are pants,they make no sense at all,been there.

Not much help but at least you know you are not alone

Usually you screw one set of clips to the wood under the lip of the bath with the cup/roll shape facing upwards so the plastic rim of the panel will wedge between the wood and the metal clip. And do the bottom clips the other way around so the other plastic rim slots between the metal clip and the floor, holding the panel in place. Prefer the wooden panels myself, lot stronger and no movement, but you do have to build a wooden frame to secure it to.

Those b&q bath normally have a pathetic bit of wood to screw them to am i wrong

Thanks for all who came back to me.

At least I know how the clips are supposed!! to work.

Think I will have to form a small wood support and screw to the the wall each side and use the metal support legs to screw the whole thing to with screws/plastic caps.

The panel has to be cut (dread!!) done one years ago and it was fun!!!

Any ideas on what to cut with??

OK, Thanks Nige F.

I have a frame saw, thats to a saw which holds a hacksaw blade protruding outwards from the frame and can ba adjusted back or forth.

I'll give this a go.
