building a thin wall (max 35mm)

[Reno RSS Feed]

I'm putting in a sliding door system and need to build a section of wall that has a maximum thickness of 35mm (including gyprck).

Does anyone have any good ideas how to do this? I'm thinking either

1. Build a frame out of steel tube (20x20) and screw gyprock onto tube (Metal Mate 20 x 20 x 1.6mm 3m Galvanised Steel Square Tube (http://www.bunnings.com.au/metal-mate-20-x-20-x-1-6mm-3m-galvanised-steel-square-tube_p1130467))
2. Build a frame out of 19mm pine and attach gyprock to this

I'm thinking option 1 might be best because it would be more dimensionally stable over time.

Any thoughts?
