If you have been thinking about making your perfect man cave you won’t want to go about it blindly. You first need to have a plan. How big or small will it be? Do you have a room or garage that you will use as your own space to get away and enjoy a good game with an ice cold beer? Will you invite a few guys over or will this space be yours and yours alone? Once you have determined whether you will need or want to build your man cave the next step is to determine what size you will need to accommodate your friends and all the stuff you will put in your space. There are many factors to be considered in determining the size of your man cave. For instance, will your man cave be free standing away from the house or attached? What furnishings do you plan to have in your mancave, and will your man cave have its own bathroom? Considering your mancave there are ten must haves for your own mancave.
The first and foremost is a theme. Are you a sports fan, if so what is your favorite sport? Soccar, tennis, golf, basketball, football, softball, the list goes on. Next a big screen TV. The bigger the better in fact to watch the games on. Big scren TVs can easily be mounted on the wall and are sure to give you the feel of being there, live and in person with front row seats! The next is a way to keep your beer or other beverages icy cold. Should you have a bar complete with tap and Tap handles or a Kegerator or just a referadgerator? If you have a kegerator will it be an inside kegerator or an outside kegerator? Another must have for your own mancave is seating. Does your mancave have room for a sectional sofa and a couple recliners. If you have a bar will you have a few comfortable bar stools. You will want for your guests and yourslf to be comfortable when watching a game. Many games can go on for a long while. Perhaps you have room for a table and chairs also? Another must have in any mancave is a sound system for music and your TV. Investing in a good surround sound system is a great way to add to the feel of being right there in the crowd cheering on your favorite team. Games are yet another must have for your own mancave. Will you have a pool table or Beer Pong Table, how about dart boards? You will want to have a fun weekend activity to enjoy with your friends during off seasons. Decoration is still anothe must have for your own mancave. Anyone can have a mancave but one that shows your pesonality and style is how your special retreat is a cut above the rest. You might want to show of your license plate collection, your Elvis collection or sports memorbillia from your favorite football team. Perhaps your a hunter and want to show the buck with the 14 point rack that you got last season. Whatever you have collected through the years your own personal retreat would be a great place to display them. Lighting is just as important as your theme. You want to pull the two together well. You might want to use sports memoribillia lighting if your theme is sports. There are many different lights you can choose from; disco, strobe, beer lamps, big light balls that suspend from the ceiling, lamps or a combination. Just be sure the lighting and your theme compliment each other. How much food and drinks are consumed in the typical mans retreat? Well to much to count! In fact that brings us to another very imporant must have in your own retreat,flooring. You would not want to be shampooing carpet after each use of your mancave, so you might want to consider a hard surface that can easily be just swept and moped
