What is the best material for a temporary wall. Something that I can put up or take down pretty quick that will also block light and hopefully hold in some of the smell. It needs to be able to be moved and folded in case of landlord entering on short notice

I want to put in ventilation but couldn't so I'm cutting the room in half with something. I am thinking a couple sheets of plastic white on the inside and outside and a black sheet in the middle. And a slit with velcro to enter? Would this work? Also hanging this might be a problem because I don't want a bunch of holes in the walls and ceiling. Would duct tape and a few tacks hold it up.

Any ideas or advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

staple gun(about the only thing that will really hold it up some holes are unavoidable) black and white poly and and one of those strip zippers instead of velcro.

Do they sell the zippers at Walmart or home depot or something like that? And would you know if it will hold in smell if sealed properly

zippers are sold at hydro stores, and if you duct taped the poly after you stapled it, it should hold in the smell, You NEED a carbon filter if you want the smell to be non existent.

Thanks. Would you happen to know how much a carbon filter weighs? Again I'm trying not to make holes.

Whoa. Once I put the wall up the size of the room will be 8.5 ft ceiling by 10x8. Could the filter with a fan be set on something(stacked milk crates)? 20-30 lbs will need screws
