Detached Game Room Spaces Built for Entertainment and Escape

A Detached Game Room creates a dedicated place for fun, relaxation, and entertainment—separate from the distractions of the main house. Whether you’re building a space for gaming nights, movie marathons, or casual hangouts, these standalone buildings offer privacy, comfort, and flexibility. Designed for year-round use, a detached game room turns your garden or backyard into a true entertainment destination.

This collection is ideal for anyone looking to create a standalone gaming suite, separate recreation room, or fully equipped backyard entertainment room. These buildings work perfectly as a garden games cabin, private gaming outbuilding, or independent games retreat where friends and family can gather without impacting the main living space.

Detached Game Room FAQs

1. Does a detached game room require a WiFi connection?

For modern gaming, a strong internet connection is essential. Since WiFi signals often struggle to penetrate thick timber or metal walls, we recommend running an external-grade Cat6 Ethernet cable from your home router to the building. This ensures a "lag-free" experience for online multiplayer and streaming.

2. How do I prevent my gaming equipment from getting damp?

Electronics are sensitive to moisture, so your detached game room must be well-insulated and ventilated. Using a breathable membrane and ensuring the building has a steady ambient temperature will prevent condensation from forming on consoles, PCs, or pool table felt. A small dehumidifier can also provide extra peace of mind.

3. Can I fit a full-sized pool table in a garden game room?

Yes, but you need to account for "cueing room." A standard 7ft pool table typically requires a room size of at least 16ft x 13ft to allow players to take shots comfortably from all angles. Always measure your available space carefully before choosing between a pool table, table tennis, or a dedicated desk setup.

4. Is a detached game room secure for expensive technology?

Security is a top priority when housing high-end PCs or consoles. We recommend fitting your building with:

• Laminated glass for windows.

• Multi-point locking systems on doors.

• Internal window blinds to hide equipment from view when not in use.

• A basic wireless alarm system linked to your smartphone.

5. Do I need planning permission for a game room?

Most detached game room builds fall under "Permitted Development," meaning you don't need permission if the building is under 2.5m high and isn't used as a sleeping space. However, if you plan to include a bathroom or if your garden is in a protected area, it is always best to check with your local planning office first.
