Frame for inset bath

[Stevie5tapes]

Hi all, iam thinking of having a inset bath in my new bathroom. The frame around the bath would be tiled. Has anyone done a frame before? Does the frame work support the bath at all?? Iam thinking the bath will have feet that supports the bath and the frame will just be there to be tiled and other no support at all?

Can anyone offer advice on this??

Many thanks.

While the bath will have legs the frame still needs to be sturdy enough to prevent the bath rocking or movement around the bath rim.{a bath flush to wall still needs support all round to prevent movement.}

2x2 tanilized or 3x2 if there is enough room for it.
