Shower Screen Wall support

Planning a shower and I am concerned about the usual bracket / rod that goes from the top of a glass shower screen to the adjacent wall. That wall is plasterboard (no timber - just plasterboard sandwich) and I am worried that if my slightly wobbly wife stumbled into the screen then the wall would not take the strain and it would pull out and damage the wall.

I was wondering about two rods - at an angle to form a Vee and attached into the ceiling joists.

Any thoughts?

Sounds reasonable, you could lash up from various parts, e.g.

If she is wobbly would it not be best to make a hand rail anyway, at a more convenient level? Brian

I agree Brian - my plasterboard walls are my concern with that as well.

One of ours looks a bit like this...

Great idea. How is it attached to the tray?

There's a plastic 'cup' it sits in. I don't know how that is attached, but it has silicone around it and I guess it must be screwed through the tray - it's on the raised edge of the tray obviously.

Cheers
