Building a Temporary Wall

Building a Temporary Room 

Are you in need of extra space but don't want to commit to a permanent renovation? Building a temporary room might be the perfect solution for you. Whether you need a home office, a guest room, or a play area for your kids, creating a temporary room can be a practical and cost-effective way to meet your needs.

How to Build a Temporary Room

Start by selecting a location for your temporary room. Consider factors such as natural light, ventilation, and proximity to utilities. Next, determine the size and layout of the room based on your needs. You can use room dividers, curtains, or temporary walls to define the space.

When building a temporary room, it's important to choose lightweight and portable materials that are easy to assemble and disassemble. Options include modular walls, tension rods, and freestanding screens. Be sure to secure the temporary structure safely to prevent accidents.

Rules for building in Australia 

Because it’s a freestanding or press-fit system, it’s not considered a permanent structure, so:

• ✅ No building approval required if it doesn’t alter egress or fire systems.

• 🚫 Do not block smoke detectors, vents, or exit paths.
  
  

How to install our temporary wall system. 

Use our temporary wall system. 

STEP 1

Attach the 2×4 single shelf brackets to the back of the shelf board using the included screws (two screws per bracket).
Fix the brackets on both ends in the same way.

STEP 2

Insert the 2×4 timber posts (which will serve as vertical supports) into the main frame of the structure.

STEP 3

Position the shelf board at the desired height and fix it in place using the included screws (two per bracket).
Repeat this process on the opposite side.

STEP 4

Attach all remaining shelf boards securely in the same way.

NOTE

For added stability, use the separately sold LABRICO adjusters.
These help secure the entire frame firmly in place between the floor and ceiling without damaging surfaces.

Tips:

• Measure your ceiling height before cutting the 2×4 timber.

• Use a level to ensure the frame is straight before tightening screws.

• Recommended timber size: 38mm × 89mm (standard 2×4).
