Must Haves for a Garden Man Cave

A garden man cave is a perfect place to kick back, relax and indulge in all of your favourite things. Whether you find joy in cracking open a beer and watching the footy or you’re a DIY enthusiast that relishes alone time your garden shed, a garden man cave can be whatever you wish it to be. Whilst man caves can differ greatly from one to the next, there are some essential features and products to consider to ensure your garden retreat is equipped for use and tailored to your specific requirements.  Check out the below list to see some of the things we think are must-haves when designing your ultimate garden hangout. 

1. Smart TV 

If you are a big sports fan or a film fanatic, an addition of a smart tv is essential when decking out your garden man cave. With 4k resolution and rated the best tv in 2022, the LG C2 is the best of the best for the ultimate viewing experience. Our electric pack gives you plenty of sockets to work with and access to electricity meaning setting up your TV is super easy and stress-free.  

2. Full lining & Insulation 

If you are wanting to create a space that is appropriate for use all year round, opting for a building with full lining and insulation is essential. All of our Garden Studios, Garden Offices, and Garden Rooms come fully lined and insulated as standard, with double-glazed windows to ensure they can be enjoyed irrespective of the weather. 

3. Home Bar 

If you are looking to entertain guests or use your man cave as a garden bar, you will need to either construct or purchase a bar structure to go in your building. Home bars can look very suave in your building, giving you a focal point when decorating your space. You can find lots of garden bars on Etsy that are handcrafted by small independent sellers. 

4. Electric Pack + Heating  

Our electric pack as mentioned above is essential if you are looking to add electrical appliances and lighting to your man cave. Our heater also gives you greater temperature control and allows you to create a warm and inviting space even when the colder months come around. We also offer a heater unit that includes air-con to allow you to create a man cave that is the appropriate temperate throughout the seasons. 

5. Sound System

A sound system or speaker is vital for your man cave if you love listening to music and also enjoy entertaining guests. The Sonos One speakers can be paired together throughout your home and offer richly detailed sound, meaning music can seamlessly flow throughout your home and into your garden building, giving you the ultimate outdoor living experience. 

6. Security Pack 

Whilst dreaming up all the things to put in your man cave is always the fun part, it is also important that you consider the security of your building. Our security pack can be added to all of our high-quality Garden Sheds and Garages and consists of security screws, a 7-lever security lock, and 13mm security window bars. 

7. Mini Fridge  

A mini fridge is a great idea for storing lots of drinks and snacks in, saving you a trip into the house, and also being a space-conscious solution. You can have a cold beer ready at all times to enjoy when you need to escape to the comfort of your garden man cave. 

8. Man Cave Sign 

A wooden sign titled ‘Dad’s Man Cave’ or something to that effect simply is the epitome of masculinity, right!? A sign to go above your door is the perfect finishing touch for your man cave and an essential in letting everyone else know who rules the roost. You can find lots of cool signs on Etsy.
