It was simple to do (although you need some props and assistance) and
looks as new after 12 years. No cars are in the garage though :-).

Hmmm, plasterboard is fairly heavy stuff and my poor old neck and back
aren't too good these days, but I haven't yet checked to see if it's
cheaper than thin ply.

Thanks

I imagine it's a *lot* cheaper than plywood. If you're doing it on your own,
6 x 3 sheets are a lot easier to handle than 8 x 4's. You can get a support
rod - which can be jacked up using a handle like that on a sealant gun - for
about 20 quid from the likes of Screwfix.
