Hi All,
EDIT: I've moved this from the design forum as I think it is more of a general question.
I have been asked by some friends to make a slatted shower mat, the type which is placed outside the shower. I've googled around a bit for ideas but can't seem find anything.
What they've asked for is a curved mat which follows the curve of the shower tray and will be about 12" wide. The shower tray is a corner one ie. quarter circle.
I've got a very rough idea of how the thing will look, but i'm a bit stumped when it comes to construction, what would be the best method for holding the slats together. Also what would be a good timber and finish to use in a bathroom environment. They may also want the wood colouring, and I was thinking of using chestnut spirit stain, so any finish that is applied would have to be compatible.
Any advice on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Mark
