SMALL ROOM LAYOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<p>I have an 8' x 20' room so our measurements are realitively the same. I have an around the walls layout and it is working out fine.</p><p>I would suggest an 18" wide layout on the 16' walls with 24" wide ends. You really do not want anything less than a 36" wide aisle.</p><p>Layout height is a personal preference but my track elevation is 53" where it crosses the doorway to the room (51" elsewhere). This gives me 51.5" inches of duckunder clearance which I find to be an easy duckunder even at my advanced age. My duckunder is removable if needed but I have never need to remove it.</p><p>Think of a design with broad sweeping curves and lots of scenery across the ends of the room and then sidings/towns, etc. down the long walls.</p><p>Good Luck,<br />-John</p><p> </p>
