DIY Freestanding Wall - workshop improvement project

Ойын-сауық

One day I would like to have my own shop. For now i will need to continue working out of the garage. This project will help transform a section of the garage into a small shop without having to structurally change the garage with a free standing wall attached to a weighted workbench. The project costs where under $150. The impact it had on the shop was huge.
I frame a wall with 2 x 3 studs where the studs are 24 inch on center. I end up with a wall that is 14 ft long and 7 ft 4 inches high. The wall is capable of standing with out legs because it is screwed to the workbench with 6 lag screws. The garage door is fully functional without any modifications.

    I like how you're using the workbench to support the wall instead of attaching it to your garage. I've been looking for ideas to divide my garage for a man cave and workshop. Since you said it seemed flimsy, I'll probably go with 16 in centers on the studs. Being a 2x3 instead of a 2x4 shouldn't have made much of a difference for a freestanding wall.

    For a more secure support, drill and screw the bottom 2x3 to the ground with blue tapcon screws

    What's keeping it safe so to not be accidentally knocked over? Just the bench as an anchor weight? Wanting to build a temporary studio wall that needs to be free standing like this but secure. Any help is appreciated. Thank you kindly.

    Butt joints -- better to use screws to hold together. Those plywood panels add good stability by creating a non-collapsible diaphragm. Nice job.

    Well it depends on where you want the door if in the middle you could just leave an opening between the 2 studs giving you a 2 ft opening for door way and use a curtain for door or mabey like those vinyle accordion door

    Drywall seams can be tricky and much more expensive if you need it for indoor purposes. For an indoor finished look, you might be better off with panels.

    I'll have to do some rough math...it was about $100 for the wall. The bench would have been maybe $60. Lumber costs have risen so it might be 2x that currently.
