The Arcade Shed Has Arrived!
- Thread starter RolyRetro
- Start date
I will have mine here soon, 4x3 meter version that will be used as a family entertaining zone at the top of our garden, plan on having a couple of cabs, minibar and some seats. Could I ask what type of insolation you used under the floor and how did you fix it in position and what paint is that? The wife loves it.
Very nice dude!

Wow. That looks a really good size.

I used Celotex, the shed manufacturer sandwiched it between the roof panels and under the floorboards, with an air gap to prevent condensation. I also put 25mm Celotex in the walls after the wiring between the joists, and before adding plywood and plasterboard sheets.
All the windows and doors are double glazed, which makes a big difference to insulation.
Also put extra plywood sheets over the floorboards for strength.
The paint I think is a Dulux external wood paint, will dig out the exact colour when I get home tonight.
very nice

It looks really nice now it's finished.
Since the water runs off the back of the cab, did you have to make any additional provisions for drainage?
How much space did you leave between the fence and back of the shed?
Sorry for all the questions.

Left an 8 inch gap at the back for clearance of dead leaves (with a pole) and to make room for a rainwater gutter (not added this yet) to carry water way from the base of the shed.
Lined with plywood, plastered and with the lights working. I've painted as much as I can in advance of the cabs arriving, as I had a delivery of 3 on Saturday and nowhere to store them apart from the shed, so I will have to work around them while I finish off skirting board and put the carpet tiles down.
Cabs in place now (that was fun - down 6 stone steps and then across damp grass) and pretty pleased with the space - I reckon I can get 6 cabinets along the back wall and still have plenty of room to spare.
Working up the courage and resting my back ready for moving the Star Wars down there...

Starting to get real now
