A clip (10) is used to fasten a wall panel (20) to a frame rail (30). The cl ip (10) is fitted to the rail (30) and has pawl-like tabs (13) which locate in apertures (35) in a side wall of the rail (30). Corresponding apertures (21) are provided on the edge of the wall (20). When the edge of the wall is inserted into the clip (10), the pawl-like tabs (13) snap-fit through the apertures (21) and into the apertures (35), thereby captively retaining the wall (20) to the rail (30). Alternatively, the clip may be formed integrally with a rail (51) by pressing out a flap (50) from a side wall of the rail (51). Each flap (50) has a pawl-like indent (56). Corresponding apertures (5 9) are provided on the edge of a wall sheet (60). When the edge of the wall she et (60) is inserted between the flaps (54) and the rail (51), the pawl-like indents (56) locate in the apertures (59), thereby captively retaining the wall sheets (60) to the rail (51).
