Garden games room floor plan — 5 × 5 m

Garden games room, 44 mm walls

A table is never the problem in a games room — the space round it is. Pool, table tennis and darts all fail in the same way, which is a wall arriving where your arm was going, and that is a question about the plan rather than about what you buy to put in it.

So this one is square: 5 × 5 metres each way, 25 m², and nothing standing in the middle of it. That is enough to put a seven-foot pool table centrally and still play every shot off the cushion, or to run a table tennis table down the middle with space at both ends to actually return the ball.

Sizes are taken from the drawing and are a starting point — everything here can be changed.Room sizes are measured to the drawn line, so they do not allow for wall thickness — the finished floor area will be a little smaller. Areas are rounded down for the same reason.

Choose the table before you choose the walls

A cue is about a metre and a half long, so the clearance you need is a metre and a half beyond every edge of the table — that is the number that decides whether a room works, and it is why a square is the efficient shape. A rectangle the same area gives you the clearance on two sides and takes it away on the other two.

Darts is the exception and wants the opposite: the throw line sits a little over two and a third metres back from the board, so it needs a wall run rather than the middle of the room. If darts and pool are both going in, they take opposite corners.

Everything else lives on the perimeter

With the centre spoken for, storage, seating and the fridge all end up against the walls — roughly 19 running metres of them once the doorway is taken out. It is worth deciding early which wall is the screen wall, because that is the one you will regret putting a window in.

Changes worth making before the table arrives

Widening the doorway, because a slate pool table arrives in pieces but a table tennis table does not
Blanking one of the 2 windows to free a wall for a board, a screen or shelving
Stretching one side by half a metre, which is usually cheaper than discovering the clearance is short

The 44 mm wall this was drawn from is a solid garden-building specification, and a games room is used in bursts rather than all day — which is exactly the pattern that makes a cold room annoying, because it has to be warmed up before anyone wants to be in it. Worth raising early if the room is for winter evenings. Treat the door and window positions as a starting point too: they were read off a drawing, and the tool moves them in seconds.
