Tips for Designing a Man Cave Home Addition

Posted by tess on Nov 10, 2011 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

Every man needs a space to call his own, where he can enjoy what it means to relax after a hard day’s work, and experience a little rest and relaxation in his castle. If you are running out of space in your home, or you want to create a man cave suited for a king, installing a custom home addition may be just the ticket. Here are some of our quick tips for designing your own man cave with a home addition in Vermont.

First, it’s important to note how big you would like your man cave to be, in order to make it functional and roomy enough to invite the boys over for a Sunday football game. Consider what game equipment, furniture and electronics you need space for in your home addition. We recommend at least a 12 X 12 room that will accommodate a large sofa grouping, pool table and plenty of tech gear for game night.

Second, consider where your new home addition should be located in relation to your existing home, for ultimate convenience and privacy with your man cave. If you want an area that’s free from traffic, choose a spot near the back of your house, ideally nearest to your garage. This will make it easier when you need an important part or accessory, or when you want to come in quietly (without waking the family). You also may want the option to extend into a backyard area for a spot to grill up some bratwurst or burgers on the weekend.

Third, check with local zoning laws as to make sure your man cave can be added to your home without too much hassle. Most home renovation contractors, like Crowley Construction, are well-versed in local permit and zoning requirements, to make your man cave a reality in no time at all. Get with a professional home renovator in Vermont to outline the plans for your man cave, and don’t try to build it yourself.
