I have this open space in a cupboard above my oven and would like it sealed. What’s the best way to do this? I’m assuming I’d still need access to the ovens power in case anything goes wrong behind there? The rough holes in the wall I’ll fix too, but how would I seal off the back of the cupboard itself so I don’t get rodents, drafts etc?
Hi @justthinking,
Thank you for your question about closing in a cupboard above your oven.
Also, a warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.
It looks like you've already got some cleats installed on the side of this cupboard which I have circled below.
If I am not seeing things correctly, and there are no cleats there, I would suggest installing cleats along each side of the cabinet made from a suitable-sized material such as Porta 30 x 30mm DAR Square General Purpose Pine.
Once in position, you could then use these cleats to attach a sheet of CUSTOMwood White Backing Board, that has been cut to size instore with Zenith 8G x 13mm White Button Head Screws. This would allow the backing board to be removed easily if access is required.
Let me know if you have any further question.
Jacob
