Materials for a storage wall directly against the house wall that cannot be maintained?
Need material tips!
I’m planning to put up a cold storage shed that will stand directly by the house wall. The idea was for the shed not to be attached to the house but to stand 2-3 cm from a brick wall on the house, and thus the question arises about what is most suitable on the outside of the wooden frame. The rest of the shed will be built with a 2x3", and the idea was to complete the wall that will be facing the house and then raise it. Otherwise, there will be paneling on the shed.
What should be used against the house wall? Form plywood? I considered nailing decking but, at the same time, I'm not a fan of the gaps that occur with the seasons. I searched for pressure-treated tongue-and-groove that would be perfect without success. I have no requirements for the material otherwise, other than it being reasonably priced.
We’re talking about approximately 3200x2400mm of wall area.

I would probably have built the shed without a wall against the house's brick wall.
Seal between the "cross walls" and the brick wall with foam or outdoor sealant depending on how large the gaps are, and let the brick wall be open towards the shed.
You can place shelves that stand on the floor/ground and do not need to be screwed into any wall.
I don't believe in enclosing the house's outer wall.
Moreover, it seems like an unnecessary cost with the wall material there.

Maybe boards?myrstack said:
You were thinking of building a shed in wood, right?
Then light studs, e.g., 70x45 with cladding in Z-panel 22x120, are OK.
But how it's done depends on whether you want the panel horizontal or vertical.
Storage with a stud frame as mentioned, other sides need to match some other things so the choice is limited to standing double beveled panel there. Then there's the backside remaining. It won't be visible so appearance doesn't matter.
The backside, meaning against the house's exterior wall, you can simply ignore. It doesn't serve any function at all. Set up a shelf there instead where you can place things.myrstack said:
