I was thinking of building a shed in my backyard for my arcades, my garage is full and the cades are not allowed in the house.
(Thanks to my wife) don't know where to start. has anyone successfully done this?

I have one in the back. its 24x40. Works out to be about 800sqft inside. The building is just a pole barn with metal siding. I don't think there is going to be a cheaper way to set up an out building than that.

Research pole barns but the short of it is. Put 6"x6" in the ground every 8 feet. pour concrete floor. put metal siding on and a roof. There are quite a few places that will build it for you and it takes about 3-4 days to build one.

Firstly, get rid of the wife, move arcade machines into the house, problem solved.

If the sound of a whip in the far off distance won't leave you, then do what Ian said and get a pole barn.

Dudes have any of you been to Home Depot and seen their "sheds?" Some of 'em are like a small luxury apartment. The world is your oyster! GO for it
