Help with a stud wall...

[devs]

Hi guys, I'm going to put up a simple stud wall with one door to divide my double garage in half.

I'm doing this on a budget so plan to do the work myself.

Rather than an opening door I'm going to fit one of those plastic fly screens and rather than have the boards skimmed is there a cheaper alternative? drywall?

From wall to wall it measures 661cm and has a hight of 252cm

I will be fixing into concrete all round. Could someone help me work out what materials I would need as I'm not sure of the most cost effective way to do this and what spacings are required. It does not need to be insulated but I may put some in as I have a couple of rolls left over.

Many thanks for any help.

Consider ply/osb, you can just paint it and it’s solid to fix stuff to
sawn 3x2 / 4x2 for the framing

How are you going to insulate the fly screen?

Ah no I hadn't and I like the osb boards, what thickness would you recommend? Thanks. My only concern is that I will be putting a commercial kitchen in there. They may not be suitable?

Is there a particular distance that I should be working to for the struts and what fixings would I use for into the concrete? Would I just plug and screw? Also (a basic one) would I use the same drill bit to pilot through the wood into the concrete?

Cheers.

No plans to try. I'm simply using up left over material.

at least 18mm thickness. I’d normally go for about 400mm centres, but you could go a bit more/less, whatever works
Yes plug and screw, or concrete screws (no plug)
You can smash through the wood with an SDS masonry bit on hammer mode, but better to drill with a wood bit first.
Don’t know anything about “commercial kitchens” or what that may require/involve.

Perfect thanks very much mate. Enjoy the weekend.

Sorry just looking and my hight (252cm) seems larger than the standard osb board size. Do they seam together okay? Trust I would do at the top?

Just include horizontal noggins where the boards join

If your putting in a commercial kitchen that will be inspected by EHO, you ideally want to clad the walls in plastic so they can be cleaned

Thanks guys, the kitchen that I'm putting in is non conventional IE. no cooking or heat it will be used for juicing.

Yes Mikeey I did consider that but then decided against it because it would be a wall away from any prep or washing.

Do you know what plastic is generally used what is called? Trust I would have to secure to boards rather than going straight onto the frame?

Thanks

As long as its wipe clean, any plastic would be suitable.

I don't think you'd get the rigidity you need without boards, so I'd clad the osb or whatever else you use.

Need to do something similar to the floor.

Hygiene will be important if you are juicing, unless you are pasteurising in bottle?
