Fill an irregular hole

[pickels]

A hole, 4 edges, in a wall has all sides with different dimensions, I assume you have to measure the diagonals as well to get it right or is there another smart "trick"?

Don't know what the material in the wall is, but wouldn't it work to build an irregular frame (maybe 4 sides are enough?) that fits precisely in the hole and that you can attach with screws outward towards the larger hole. Then fill the gaps between the frame and the hole with suitable material (e.g., husfix for smaller volumes)? In the frame itself, you attach a drywall.

An amateur tip, there are surely much better solutions

Yes, thank you, but I was thinking more along the lines of you framing up a wall and the last piece that needs to go is a rhombus-like shape, or if you have a hole in e.g. a gypsum wall or particle board wall and want to close it.

Yes, if the opposite sides are of equal length but the hole is rhombus-shaped, you either have to measure the diagonals or measure the angles.

In such cases, I usually measure somewhat roughly so that I can cut a test piece in cardboard which I adjust until it fits and can be used as a template for the actual board.
