I have a kitchen cupboard under the sink. There is quite a conglomerate of
piping there including of course the kitchen sink waste outlet pipes.

I want to mount a vertical panel (using an old cupboard shelf) in front of the
piping such that it cannot be knocked/caught and made to become loose - the
bottom of the panel will rest on the floor to take the weight of it.

I want to mount the "shelf" so that it is connected to the cupboard sides (or
via a vertical baton connected to thee sides) using some sort of push fit/snap
fasteners so that it is quite neat - but also so that the vertical panel can
be just pulled out of the cupboard when necessary.

Any suggestions please for type of fasteners?

Ebay abounds with very low priced circular rare earth magnets that have a
countersunk hole in the middle. Ideal for such applications and amazingly
strong. Just need something magnetic like a short strip of steel for them to
latch on to.

Velcro or magnets.

Looks like super strong magnets are the answer : thanks to all.

Only if you know/remember they are the-)

For retro fit that may be best but sliding grooves are not uncommon for
temporary panels. Bottom groove shallower than top one. Lift panel to
release...

Agreed, even a screw head will do perhaps with a washer to make a bigger
target.

Another option I have occasionally used is a couple of pipe clips,
either on to copper or on to waste pipe. These are very secure, no need
to rest the panel on the floor (where it will get soggy if there are any
leaks or spills).
