Then frame, membrane, counter batten and cladding from inside to outside? (with insect mesh at the top and bottom of the air gap)
The membrane could be thin orb i suppose?
I am just thinking i will need to build the rear wall flat before putting it up due to the proximity to the fence preventing me getting behind to do the cladding.

I painted all of my cladding before I put it on you could paint your back panel before installation and save a lot of hassle.

If you have the patience to go through my workshop build thread I am sure you'll see it in great detail.....but essentially I screw two bits of 3x1 together to form an L shape, and fix this to the corner such that it sticks out the same distance from each wall. The subtlety is that I rip one of the pieces (the outside one) to 63mm, as this is what works for the feather edge boards that I use.
