in Lahore, i have a room in my house measuring 15x20 feet, with 9" walls, on this room-roof i want to build a temporary store, 7x20, starting from one corner of the below room.
2: store will have 9" walls and ceiling will be of prefabricated cement beams and shelves, commonly available in the market.
3: the below room has a concrete/steel ceiling

use a water proof hard board type material to make that specific 20 feet long wall. |

Use steel grill with glass as your fourth wall it will give you light and also no issue with the weight.Otherwise use a beam to construct the fourth wall |

Not at all recommended. First build a beam under the roof of constructed room then start construction of store. |

put a beam from wall to wall over the roof(rest on walls) and then start construction of brickwork |
