Filling Large Holes

Patching large holes in drywall requires some kind of backing.  In fact the largest part of the hole is usually filled with a trimmed piece of drywall (or any panel 1/2" thick) and then you only have the task of taping and covering the joint between the wall and the plug. 

The exception to these traditional methods is the very convenient self adhering mesh.
