While i patiently watch the price of lumber crawl its way back down, i’m starting to plan out a few things. In the area where my pins are now, i have room for 13; 6 on one wall and 7 on the opposing wall. 13 is also my favourite number. No i did not spell that wrong lol.
Reason for this post is to get some insight on what others have done in terms of electrical design. I have searched and one thing i didn’t come across was anything related to receptacle height. Usually i would just use the height of my hammer to set the height and keep consistency. But is there a more optimal way when laying out an area specific to pins?
I have 2x 200amp panels coming into the house, with lots of room to add more circuits. I’ll probably go with 4 pins per 20amp circuit (with 12ga runs) which is probably a little overkill but the distance to the panels isn’t that far.
I would like the cords to be neat when i’m done, but do not like receptacles in the ceiling. I might make these switched receptacles, and unlikely i will use smart outlets as my internet service where i live is complete trash. Maybe I’ll install a small subpanel and use breakers to turn on the games for the authentic arcade feel.
