coolroom panelling
I have a open carport and have been thinking about ways to enclose it.
Plus have some noise reducing properties along the same fence line.
I have a colourbond fence at the moment i want to cover.
Brick wall? costly
Blueboard it with batt insulation cavity? maybe
One other thing i have thought of is coolroom panelling.
Foam covered with tin lining.
I havent costed the price for panels yet, but i would think it would work great and easliy screwed onto the fence that is all ready there.
Thoughts?

Great idea. One of my relatives built a whole garage out of it...

Agree - a mate of mine lined his garage with the panelling, apart from looking good and easy to work with, it looked great. Very clean finish.
You might find the cost a factor though - he worked for a company which installed this gear and he got it cheap from the boss.

here is another product; this one is a colourbond with a polystyrene fused to it. it has excellent rigidity across large spans because of the colourbond profile's ribbing; traditionally it is used for roof cladding but i can't see why it couldn't be used as a wall cladding successfully.

Check out the auctions in the local paper. There are always coolrooms up for grabs. I used to make them. If the ground is a bit uneven or the top a bit crooked, get a local sheet metal workers to make up some 50 x 50 angle out of colour bond and use it for capping / flashing. It hides everything and should be quite cheap. Also paint any exposed cut edges as rust will show up quite a bit. A jigsaw with a fine smalltooth blade will cut it one side at a time.

I just built an industrial boilerhouse out of sandwhich panels. They look good,go up quickly and provide a clean finish.The only problem is if you dent or damage them,as you really can't satisfactorily fix them, and if you damage the middle panel in a wall you will need to pull half of the wall out to get the damaged one out.
