1. A screening panel suitable for engaging a supporting frame in abutment with a plurality of adjacent screening panels including:
a screening surface, with peripheral sides and screening apertures between the peripheral sides;
each said peripheral side having a plurality of engaging protrusions extending from the peripheral side in a direction transverse to the screening surface for engaging the supporting frame;
the engaging protrusions being shaped and sized to engage complementary formations on the supporting frame in a snap-fit configuration for restricting longitudinal movement along each said peripheral side of the screening panel and movement of the screening panel transverse to the screening surface when engaged; and
each said peripheral side having inter-panel formations for engaging adjacent said screening panels which, when engaged to an adjacent screening panel, restrict relative movement between the screening panel and the adjacent screening panel longitudinally along the engaged side and transverse to the screening surface.
