This design of the screen - the team, then you need to start from the frame. To make it, you will need pieces of wooden beams, 40X40, fasteners, consisting of screws and metal corners. Bruski must be put to the corners of the bath and screwed to the wall.

6th stage. Now you need to prepare for the frame bars, from the prepared bar for this. The bars should be of the following sizes:

- for the vertical frame, 4 bars of the same length are required, equal to the distance from the bottom edge of the bathroom to the floor;

- for a short horizontal, 2 bars are needed. The length should be equal to the line drawn on the floor parallel to the short side of the bath and minus 80 mm( we need to take into account the double width of the bar);

- for a long horizontal line calculation is similar, but subtract 120 mm, take into account the triple thickness of the bar for further assembly.

Now we can start the installation of the screen itself under the bath.

Useful tip: To make the screen design for a bath of plasterboard of greater rigidity, it is not superfluous to attach it to the bathroom floor.

The material that will be required for the manufacture of both panels of the screen under the bath is a drywall with moisture-resistant properties. As a rule, it is dyed in a light green color. Also we will need a metal lock-lock and hinges for fastening the access door.

Next, we need to make a markup on a sheet of drywall. For this it is convenient to use directly the large and small panels of the future screen. The dimensions of the small are equal to the size of the corresponding( smaller) frame, and the length of the second panel is 56 mm larger than the frame itself, 40 of which are the width of the bar, and another 16 are the thickness of the small panel drywall.

After the markup is completed, you must cut off the intended parts with an acute construction knife.

Immediately before mounting the larger panel to the frame itself, do not forget to make a hole in the square shape - your inspection hatch. The length, width and location of it will depend on the size of the ceramic tile( which will certainly adorn your man-made work).To cut a hole, you can use an electric jig saw. Important: the hatch should be in front of the drain pipe and the ladder. Now you can proceed to the final assembly. We hang the door on the hinges and attach the latch.

The final touch: connect the two panels of the screen under the plasterboard with a screw. The panels must be connected strictly at right angles to each other.

And now you can test the screen design for a plasterboard bathroom for mechanical stability.
