Magnetic Strips

I have a plan to put up boards around a DIY loft conversion. My original intention was to have sliding doors but I don't think I need to do that.

What I now hope to do is put some of those magnets up and use contiboard or similar to just "attach" to them, top and bottom. I figure the easiest way of doing this is by using a magnetic strip on the board.

Anyone know where I can get some?

I could not figure out what you mean to do but if you are looking at having a removable panel what about using hook and loop Velcro type fastening. They do a self adhesive roll in BnQ quite cheap. I have used it for bath panels.

You have got what I want to do and I'll have a look into this.

Cheers.
