    hi all,

    I wanna get a pool table (9ft x 4ft), I can't put it in the attic cause its not big enough so was thinkin about getting a shed out the back to put it in.

    I've no experience so building it myself is outta the question so was thinkin could anyone offer any advice on what type of shed would be best (wooden, concrete, garage etc..)

    I was working it out and the shed would have to measure 5metres x 4metres to give room for the cue etc. What type of money would a shed of that size cost?

    any help is grateful

    thanks

    p.s if anyone feels they'd wanna take the job pls pm me:D

    I believe a concrete floor would work out best as a timber floor could be 'springy' and that wouldn't work out too well for a pool table.

    You could get a 20 sq m shed built for under €6,000 by pouring the base and erecting a steel bought shed over this. You could also spend €15,000 on a purpose built insulated shed with electricity.

    I found this as a price guide but you would have to put in your own base.

    Since I was a kid I'v loved snooker and pool and always wanted my own table. This is something I always wished for:)

    Ive sent you a private message with another ad from donedeal....it looks better.

    you were looking at the precast concrete prices............the pvc steel prices are way cheaper.......

    Dylan, pity you are not handy building wise....because that timber cabin looks great.
    Should be simple enough to put together i think.
