Outbuilding for snooker table

[DG GIBERT]

Can i get away with 30 square metres and still have enough room to play?

21ft x 15ft gives you 29.26 square metres

6.71 X 4.89 = 32.81 so you would be slightly small goiing by Riley site but I would think 30.00 would allow you to play the vast majority of shots.

Not enough unless you use a short cue for those shots on the cushion. The minimum you need is considered to be 16' x 22' which leaves just over 5ft when cueing off the cushion which is what you need to accommodate the backswing of the cue. Try for 17' x 23' and you will have room for a couple of chairs opposite the corners

Also remember if its a wooden outbuildings like the one on your link they are usually listed by external sizes rather than the internal sizes so you loose the space of the wall thickness.

[DG GIBERT]

Thats what I thought but the link seems to suggest 21 x 15 is ok

[rdsalt]

I think many of these kind of building were made just under 30 metres for building regulation purposes. It would be OK for the majority of shots provided you were happy to play the odd shot from the cushions with a shorter cue, not ideal and if you want something that is perfect you are going to have to go over 30 metres.

22 x 16 is the minimum you should have internal size for a full size so ignore what they say in that newspaper report , he will have to play with a small cue on that Snooker table which happens to be a George Wright table .

any less then go for a 10ft like this http://gclbilliards.com/10ft-oak-sno...ck-derbyshire/

and take note of the log burner , heating with electricity or gas is more expensive and log burners like the one in this cabin is the best way to heat it up in winter .

Remember to take into consideration good insulation, this will keep your heating costs down in the winter. I've got a thermostat Oil Free radiator operating in my room and its great and very cost effective.

We could do with some log burners at Ivanhoe Club Ashby. They don't have the heat on. Senior citizens, half pint brigade and losers are freezing and complaining about cold hands and arthritis. Cold hands! got none to speak about! Also, not healthy for table conditions. Cheers, John Q.

Hi john

I know the Ivanhoe club is one of the lowest rates per hour to play snooker maybe if they upped the price per hour they could have the heat on a little longer and higher setting

it is not a small room having 5 tables in there , and will take some serious heating bills to keep warm , the only way is to increase the price per hour

What is the price per hour there ?

That is cheap did he put in a concrete base and where did he get the cabin from?

Hi DG. I done my whole Potting shed including concrete base and running electricity with a 5.5k budget and it is a lot better quality then the ones you see online. I have used 4x2 stud timbers for walls and 7x2 timbers for roof timbers. I did do it myself, so that kept labour price down.

Stay well clear of some of these cabin/summerhouses you see, not the best.

thanks m8 did u build the cabin or put it together from a kit is well insulated

Yes he did have a concrete base and he built the cabin himself it was not a pre built one as tried and tested has said some of these pre made ones are not too good , they look the part but when you get them you find that the materials used are nothing more than soft pine which has a thin spray of wood preservative on .
Beware of the much used word Tanalised Timber on these type of buildings , only timber treated with impregnating the wood under high pressure should be called Tanalised timber .
Most timber building just go through a painting of preservative applied with either Brush or spray on .
