Quick answer: Man caves fail on seating depth + screen distance, not on RGB. Prefer 10×8+ summerhouses or 4×3m log cabins; treat unlined summerhouses as seasonal unless you insulate.

Step 1 of 5| Setup | Min internal (approx) | Honest reject | Shell band |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-seat + 43–55" TV | ≈ 2.4m viewing depth | 8×6 with desk leftover | Bella 8×8 / Petra 10×8 |
| Corner sofa + bar fridge | 10×8+ | Single door blocking sofa | Switch 12×8 / Rhine cabin |
| Desk + lounge hybrid | Long wall for desk | Glare walls only | Insulated office if year-round |
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. Fridges and heaters are continuous loads — plan the circuit accordingly.
Step 3 of 5Screen on the short wall; seating centered; keep fridge vent clear; cable trays for AV; blackout/blinds for summerhouse glass; security upgrade on single doors.
Step 4 of 5Shell (Rhine / Petra / Switch) → RCD outdoor path → chair mat if desk hybrid → foil lining starter → lighting → Gaming Room kit for desk/AV stack.
Step 5 of 5Only after the shell, power path, and desk/floor plan: Gaming Room Build Kit.
