What is the recommended booth size to comfortably accommodate 1- 3 people?

4 answers
1355
1583

For one person, we recommend the 4' x 6' booth because it is just small enough to not take too much space on your property, and just large enough to fit one person comfortably. If the booth will not be used consistently throughout the day, and only periodically for someone to stop by and sit down for a few minutes, you can probably get away with a 4' x 4'. For two people, however, the recommended size is a 6' x 6'. This is the smallest booth that will allow two people to sit next to each other and still have a comfortable space between them. A booth of 6' x 8' or larger is recommended to accommodate three people.
