I have installed a sliding door in this wall. Put on a single sheet of drywall. Did not expect the wall to be so flimsy with just one drywall. It flutters a bit if you are a little rough with it. How would you have done it? Thinking about taking down the drywall and putting a plywood board behind it and then putting the drywall back up. Do you think it will be stable enough? There will be a kitchen cabinet in front of the wall, with a heavy stone slab on it, so the furniture itself should stiffen the wall stability quite well. There are studs at the top behind the drywall and furthest in towards the corner the last 30cm, by the way.

I prefer not to have to add studs outside the sliding door cassette because it would be visually a bit difficult with the transition.

What is the manufacturer and model of the sliding door/cassette?

How is the wall constructed?
What is the dimension of the wall studs?

Pictures/sketches of how the wall is built?

Do you think 15mm plywood behind it is enough? It's the metal slats in the cassette that are wobbly and tend to flex.
