Construction of a narrow wall

[Nuller]

I have torn down a wall to make the kitchen entrance larger. Now I will rebuild it and make it narrower, as I want to fit in a shelf.

The wall's dimensions need to be 250x50x5.

It's the 5cm thickness I'm worried about. A 6mm drywall sheet feels way too thin. If I use 12mm, then the stud will only be 26mm.

What would you do? The wall is going to be wallpapered...

How exact does it need to be 50 mm? I'm thinking of a 28mm plank wall with 13mm gypsum on both sides. However, that would be about 54 mm.

Very precise, unfortunately. Otherwise, the 20cm shelf won't fit. Might possibly move after part of the kitchen. But will then have to dismantle it, fridge, 2 cabinets with oven/microwave, it's quite a bit of work.

Regla tighter?

Isn't it easiest to put a narrower shelf then?

Isn't the easiest thing to put a narrower shelf then?

Is also an option. But the standard size is usually 20cm, I want to put in a special rack for wine bottles.

Plank wall with masonite then? It worked at least in the past.

Jump over the wall, build a custom shelf that you can access from both sides.
