Design new reloading/gun room

[rawhide]

Mods, if this thread should go best in a different forum, please move.

Fellow OSAers and gun/shooting enthusiasts,

In the next couple months I will be rebuilding a 12' x 16' shed on a concrete slab. It will become a dedicated reloading AND gun room.
The deteriorating masonite siding will be replaced with metal siding, new wiring, some windows added and some form of heat and AC.

While reloading will be expanded beyond my single Rock Crusher, it will also have a bench for gun cleaning, maintenance, tinkering, and storage. I want to use the room year round.

If you could build such a room, what would it look like and how would it be set up?

Insulated with multiple electrical outlets and pegboard walls all the way around.
That's how my shop was at my old house, and I miss it a lot.

Put a heat and air window unit in. They work great.

+1 on the insulation and plenty of outlets.

If you use chicken wire and vinyl-backed insulation, you can also use the chicken wire as a somewhat substitute for pegboard. My 30'x48' shop walls are covered with stuff.

Luck.

Yep, lots of pegboard and electrical outlets on separate breakers. Use 12 ga wire and outlets rated for 20 amp service.
The spray foam insulation has a much higher R value than fiberglass, then panel with pegboard.
LED lighting.

Excellent !!!!!

I like the curtains (I was corrected once; window treatments). Hot and cold beverages; I would need youtube access -- when I clean and reassemble my Ruger Mark I and III.

I concur; Very nice indeed !!!!!
