Quick answer: 120×60 for tight 8×6–8×8 shells; 140×70 default for 10×8; 140×80 / 160 only when you measured internal clear width including chair roll (~80–100cm behind the desk).

Step 2 of 5

Power plan (UK honesty)

Interim: outdoor-rated RCD leads / weatherproof socket kits (e.g. Knightsbridge RCD kit, armoured IP66 extensions) for temporary garden use. Permanent year-round rooms: budget a qualified electrician for an RCD-protected outdoor circuit — do not run indoor domestic extensions permanently outdoors or under doors. Heaters + PCs need headroom on the circuit.

Step 3 of 5

Layout / line-out

Desk depth eats room faster than width — a 80cm-deep top in a 2.0m-deep shed leaves almost no chair space. Prefer 60–70cm tops in small shells.

Step 4 of 5

Fit-out products

Pick desk ASIN → chair mat sized larger than the roll zone → cable tray → Gaming Room kit. Setup pack: Shed / Garden Office Setup Pack.

Step 5 of 5

Gear kit last

Only after the shell, power path, and desk/floor plan: Gaming Room Build Kit.
