How to create an enclosed shed and storage area?

Hi all,

 

I hope to get some advice on making this space more enclosed and filling in any gaps.

 

My goal is to revitalise this space behind our granny flat as a shed and storage area. The space is quite narrow, but we can fit garage shelves on one side and maybe hang some tools on the other side.

 

Ideally I want to install a door and fill in any gaps to enclose the whole area:

 

  • At the front, I would like to install a door to enclose the space 
  • I would like to enclose the light gap above near the ceiling, for the wall with the dark PVC panel. 
  • Similarly, I want to fill in gaps from the smaller wall with the clear PVC panel. I like to keep the PVC panel because it lets in much light.

 

I have some basic tools (circular saw, mitre saw, and some power drills) and am pretty new to DIY, so any advice regarding what material, method and how to install it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!

Hi @seldy 

 

The gaps you've identified can be filled with expansion foam sandwiched between the poly sheets and your new stud.
