Workshop partition.

[gaz1]

build it as a removable wall as i did



built to be moved and stacked and easy enough to move back into place only thing on floor a lath as all it needs to hold it in place same with the top screwed of coarse

 

[gaz1]

Kingspan seconds and metal studding. Good insulation and reasonably robust. Bonus for being able to sell it on when you're done with it.

kingspan and plasterboard isnt that easy to get rid of at local tips as its classed as waste product

 

[gaz1]

I need to partition off a part of the workshop, a workshop inside a workshop if you like, will only be temporary but for an unknown length of time.

Needs to be insulated as well as it's an uninsulated brick building with a metal roof and it's ruddy cold in the winter and I need to keep it at or above 20c

whats your roof ? is it metal drips like hell or insulated metal roof as you dont say keeping it at 20c in cold weather its going to drip like hell as mine did if its just a metal roof

@grim_d What things are you attaching to it?

Ideally I want to be putting french cleat rails up but I can tie them into the studs.

Maybe a couple of cupboard units.

What is it gonna be used for?

Woodwork. I want to keep workshop dust out and sanding dust in.

Even with extraction it gets everywhere.

It is metal, it does drip a bit in winter but it's not too bad, I'll be putting a ceiling up as I only want to keep the area warm, not the whole workshop.

It has bare brick walls and open eaves so there is not much warm air to condense.

Just put a few rows of noggins in to suit the heights you want to fix

no point building the wall up as you wont keep the heat in anyway

only reference you have is a little hut inside of the building thats it if you want a warm place and thats going to cost you either done in sips for quick access or build or you frame a frame up and make a room out of it

@gaz1

I am making a "room" out of it, fully enclosed and insulated.

 

[gaz1]

erm ok then so how big is your workshop

and how much do you want to make insulated not forgetting i have a brick built shed myself with 4 walls surfice to say not as big as a garage

but my wood stove cooked me out of the shed way too warm in there so i made a smaller one and that still did the same

i tried it with a metal roof that dripped too warm in there,
tried it with an insulated apex roof and that cooked me out as well
same with a flat insulated roof

options on cost wood to either side of the walls insulate the ceiling one end just build up a wall with a door all depends on size of your workshop
costs can be kept down as only boading one side with osb insulation above

ask @Burdekin hes tried it that way he can give you input on that side of thing

 

[grim_d]

It's big, it would comfortably fit 6-8 cars if it wasn't for the ramp and my machines. I should add that it's rented, and not just by me. The area I'm sectioning off is a little bigger than a single garage, and mr long term Nissan is going to go live outside unfortunately.

It will need 3 stud walls and a ceiling, 4th wall is external brick wall but that will be getting insulated and lined too. I will be insulating all 4 walls and ceiling.

Ceiling will need joists as I want to use it for storage.

 

[gaz1]

what weight do you intend to store ?

id say wall plate with 7x2s or 9x2s depending on your weight that your putting up there
walls 4x2s

in a way your making a mezzanine floor

 

[grim_d]

Not sure, once I've got the floor cleared I'll measure up and have a look at spans and loading

question was for the OP

why?

 

[Arc Tourist]

I’ve been thinking about partitioning an area for the grinders in the workshop but wood isn’t the best material

Consider corrugated metal. I wrapped my barn with it.

I though you may have been asking me , wrt health of playing in a fibreglass box for a few hours a week or going on the rolling road or exercise cros strainer that will be in my new shed mancupboard .
