Man Cave Garage Ideas

Guys have got to have their space. This isn’t a selfish thing, it is a good thing for all involved, wives, children, girlfriends, neighbors all benefit when a fellow has his space. There he can be relaxed, do his own thing, be a little messy (if need be), have friends over with minimal preparation, do some things (like smoking cigars) which may be taboo in the house. In homes, candidates for such a space, without the cost of adding on are typically basements, garages, porches and sheds. Statistically homes have more garages than any of the other structures so they are a most probable for man cave garage ideas. 

Basic man cave garage ideas always require a beverage box and a TV for watching sports. These can be added to the most basic unfinished garage with no modification. The unfinished garage man cave may limit attraction to those other than the beer and sports crowd. Men, however, typically want to make their man caves attractive to all, especially women folk, who don’t really like to be in a shed type environment. Therefore the next typical step is to finish out a garage with sheetrock/insulation/and necessary electrical/gas for all the anticipated appliances plus climate control. It is best to plan in all the options whether you’ll use the features immediately or later as the man cave evolves over time.  Always keep in mind what you do to a garage may or may not make it attractive to buyers should you ever have to pick up and move. That’s why it is best to make your man cave garage ideas such that the garage can easily change back into parking which leaves the door open for most all buyers.

A cave isn’t a cave without a door. So should be a man cave. Cave men of old had no problem with this as weather and bugs coming through the cave door were something they just dealt with.  Additionally natural light was their only option but a great one as nothing can replace natural light. Modern “Cave Men” are a bit more softies, so to speak, preferring the creature comforts of heating, air conditioning and bug control. Keeping that open door to your man cave, remaining in touch with the outdoors, letting in all the natural light and making it bigger than life is where temporary climate curtain/strip door comes in. Including a walk thru, see thru, climate and bug controlling door into your man cave garage ideas will give your man cave a unique dimension. The door should be removable and should store away for days when weather is beautiful and bugs minimal. This too makes it a snap to change back into a garage with parking, preserving that option for ease of home sale.
