We have compiled a comprehensive guide to the size of room you may need to help guide you through calculating it for yourself. We are also on hand to help if you get stuck - simply measure your ideal room, then get in touch to discuss your options.

We offer sizes ranging from 6-foot, to the full 12-foot, to suit whichever space you may have available.
