Tub surrounds are sold with a minimum starting increment of 1/4 of the tub circumference. Additional increments are typically sold in 1/4 sections, but are available in 1/8 sections if needed.
The tub surrounds rest on sections of the same chine joists that support the tub and the are attached with screws to the tub wall. They are very sturdy and can support the weight of an average adult with no problem.
The surround sections come almost fully assembled. Three staves are left off of each section to allow access to screw them to the tub and and each other. Once that is done, all that is necessary is to screw the staves onto the surround.
If you look close at the above images you can see the chalk labeling indicating which section is which and how they are to be connected. The inside view of a half surround and two sets of steps is shown below. The two dark square cut outs at the back of the surround are for the plumbing to pass through to the nested, 3 sided equipment enclosure, which can barely be seen at the back of the surround.
