Shower Door Solution Required…Where to mount?

Hi, we’ve got a very small shower (760mm square), height is about 200 at its highest, but as you’re looking at it the left hand roof is slanted….

Issue we have is finding a way to stop water ingress into the shower room, the base is raised about 2000mm off the floor and having a shower curtain in such a small space just ends up sticking to you.

I’ve got a 760mm wide door which is 1400mm high (max hight as there is a rsj sticking out before the slant), so wont stop all water but most. The issue with this is mounting, if I align to the edge of the base then the only fixing point would be into tile backer board, is that strong enough?…..there is a wooden joist but its about 30mm further forwards, and would leave a gap between door and base to escape.

Behind the backer board is a hollow wall, I could get access here is I could fix a support in there.

Any ideas on what to do here, I like the idea of putting some barrier up but not sure where I could mount the hinges.

Thanks
 
Pictures will help
Hi, it’s not the best photo and was before the backer board/tiles. But where the red arrow is would be the only place I could fix, but that’s where the gap now is when the base slid back.

I cant fix on the other wall as it’s fully tiled and no available points.

Cut plasterboard to gain access from the other side of wall?
Fix timber and make good
 
Thanks, that’s what I’m thinking too, really appreciate the response.
