We have an oversized 2 car garage but it only has one 18' door. My shop lives in 1/2 and my wife's van, yard equipment, etc. lives on the other side. I have the ceiling over the shop drywalled but not the part over the other side. My wife would like a wall put up to keep projects from spilling over to her side of the garage (when making bookcases, mantles, etc. assembly suddenly moves to where there's more space.
I figured I could put up a full height wall up to the opener and then step it down to ~7' tall wall so it's just a couple of inches shorter than the door and then put some sort of short vinyl curtains (like you see in ware houses) between the ceiling and the top of the wall to keep the heat in but would be pushed out of the way by the garage door as it opens and closes. The shorter section would only be about 7' long so it shouldn't be too wobbly.
Right now switching over to 2 doors isn't an option nor is her not being able to use the garage.
Anyone have any other ideas on how to accomplish this?
