So you’ve decided you want to create a mancave? excellent choice. I’m actually in the process of creating a mancave myself. Now to really have a mancave there are 5 key things you need to have in order to earn the title of “mancave”. In the absence of these 5 key items, you just have a basement, not a mancave.
- You need some kind of kegerator or some kind beer dispenser. My pick is the bottoms up dispenser. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnZ08QvOFMc
- You need some kind of sports centre that allows your guests to kick back and have that sports bar feeling. You can purchase a pool table, dart board table, ping pong table and a whole lot more. If you really feel crafty you can make your own.

You can google how to make any other items if you choose the DIY route. - You need some kind of entertainment system. Built in surround sound in your walls or ceiling is an awesome addition
- A secret haven. Every guys needs a space where you can just hang out and relax. You can create this secret space behind an entertainment wall or bookcase. Again you can google some awesome ideas for a secret place for you guys
- You need a gym down there to keep in shape. Whether you are in great shape or sub par shape, it doesn’t matter. You need something where you can lift some weights before those guests come over or before you head out on a Friday night. You need to get those muscles activated and the cardio on to feel better and do better in general.
