Should be easy enough to do, but I myself have had 8 or 9 crowded in a 4" pot for a year or two now.

You can sink in ground but you can also do the take a couple of straw bales or anything you might have to make a low wall. Put the pots in next to each other and cover with leaves. Borrow your neighbors. I would not put a tarp on top but if you have a critter problem you can use any open weave material or just tree and brush branches to hold the leaves in place. After the first couple of rains the top will stop blowing away. If you have extra money you could cover the whole thing in straw. Go the library or look on line on how pioneers made root or vegetable bins or cellers and you may have a better idea what I am talking about.

That very easily could be too heavy for how it is built. A storage area is not built to habitable space requirements. It is built much lighter in support, and without some electrical, insulation, and head height requirements. Emergency egress windows are also a big difference required, for fire safety. All of that would need to be assessed by an expert in order to turn that from storage into living space.

I need to divide a room for airconditioning purposes. Any suggestions?
Q

I can advise you on the following ideas! With curtains to partition the room, you can choose to use solid, airy, or both fabrics as needed. Curtains cannot help to block 100% of the air conditioner because there is a small gap caused by weaving for the best performance in securing air conditioners. It would be best if you chose relatively thick curtains. Try also searching for other ideas on the internet. You will need air conditioner servicing to install the AC, and maybe some specialists can give you their opinions. Goodbye! I hope I gave you some precious pieces of advice.

you are going to be doing a lot of tiptoe-ing around without a door to close. i think the curtain across is as good a solution as a folding screen. you can use the plastic cups used in closets to hold a wooden rod for the ends, a couple screw holes to fill when you move out.

I love small space dilemmas! What are the dimensions of the space? Can you post pics of the space? My first thought would be to use functional storage for the wall but not sure if you have enough space.

If the room is there do bookcases ( you will probably have to finish the back )... you can face them either direction - they can buffer some sound and gives you tons of extra storage...
