So I have moved around a lot and in that time had games rooms built at the end of my garden, full electrics the lot. Great quality but very expensive. I am in a new place, and I don't wanna have to go through that vast expense again, especially as the rooms are not used that often and when they are, they are used more as workshops.
In the previous rooms electrical cable was run from the house fuse box to a consumer unit with the log cabin/games room. The new house has a 100ft garden, and the cable cost is insane. It's also a labour-intensive job getting it from the fuse box to the garden itself.
So my question is, would it be feasible to run one or two arcades at most off one of those electrical battery power generators that have come into fashion with the boom of 'van life' and off-grid living? The machines would be run in short bursts whenever I ventured down the garden, I am not running an arcade and leaving them on all day. It seems their power consumption is no different to other electronics but I wanted some advice.
My general takeaway from these buildings in the past is that you think you will be down the garden in them all the time, but in reality, you use them a couple of times a week at most, and in the winter that gets even less. It seems to make more sense to store some machines in there and maybe have one in the house that you can wheel in and out when you get bored.
All advice welcome
