Just come across this video it looks pretty good and at a good price, easy to build.


Not big enough for some but ideal for others.
 
Nearly £10k for a 15m2 room and that doesnt include the doors which they want another £1.7K to £4.5K for depending on option.

Looks like it goes together quite easily but you could build something for a lot cheaper than that.
 
Quick question and this thread seemed like a good place to ask it. Has anyone built a pinball shed over 30 square metres?

I understand this then would then need to meet building regs which becomes impossible for a wooden structure. The only way around it is two separate buildings which seems a bit daft. Cheers.

Edit: the issue I see is the room being wide enough to get the glass out. I've fallen foul of this before. Pit Heighway's cartridge system never took off! (joke)

I would have said it would be better if Ballys Lift up Glass had taken off instead of the Heighway system.

Over 30m2 Im not sure about, I wouldnt say definately not wooden based just needs needs to meet whatever building regs require.

Shed size was something I heard discussion of over the weekend and it was mentioned you need about 8ft of width minimum to get the glass off a machine, not sure how accurate that is but if you say 2.6m for a single row or 4.1m for a face to face row would give you enough space to get the glass out easily which would give 11.5m or 7.3m of room length

Ta for that. I didn't know about Bally's lift up system, very interesting.

Yeah I think wooden buildings are out for > 30 m2 so it's going to have to reduced. I also thought about 2.5m minimum width, will see how that works out.

I'm about to start on one which will be as close to 30Sqm as possible. Worth understanding that, as far as i believe, this is INTERNAL measurements, not External.....
