Fitting Built-Under Fridge and Freezer at end of run

[Ste0803]

Hi All,

I'm currently fitting a kitchen which has an island which has built under fridge and freezer at either end of the run.

This means that I have no cabinets to fix my corner posts, end panels and backing panels to.

Is the best/simplest way to build some form of frame to hold the panels in place? If so how am I best to get this rigid if i cannot attach to the appliances?

Any help would be appreciated.

Right angle brackets fitted to end panel then to floor & worktop.

I forgot to mention that its going to be a quartz top and I don't have anything to do with it. i have to have my part finished before the top goes in.
I thought it would just be connected to the floor and top but i'll have to figure something else out with getting the top secure.

Hi, im in the same situation, worktop suppliers have asked for all cabinets decor and end panels fitted before they come for templating and fitting, what have people done to attach the end panel to something when an appliance is on the end of a run?
Thanks

Think hijacking a 9 year old post is not the best way to solve your problem, good effort for searching first though.
Can you fix to the floor? If yes then fix to back as normal (coffinlocks or other pull type fixings would be better but angle brackets would do), same at the floor (obvs back far enough so bracket won't be visible when appliance is in place). If there's enough clearance between top of appliance and underside of worktop (18mm plus), use a strip of chipboard to bridge from end panel to next unit. If there isn't room for chipboard, get a length of 3mm drilled strap, bend it to fit as a hard U (cut to length as well) and use that as your bridge.
