The Roomba garage is a simple idea that has been around for years. But now, thanks to the internet, it’s easier than ever before.
In fact, you don’t need any special tools to build a Roomba garage. All you need is a few basic items, such as a table saw, drill, hammer, screwdriver, tape measure, and some wood glue.
And once you’re done building your Roomba garage, you’ll be able to keep your robot vacuum cleaner safe and secure.
So let’s take a look at how to build a Roomba garage.
How to Build a Garage For Your Roomba
Step 1: Choose a Location
Choosing a location to build your Roomba garage is important because if you choose an area with lots of obstacles, like stairs or uneven ground, then you may have trouble getting the robot into position.
Make sure you pick a spot where there will be enough room for the robot to move around.
You need enough room for your robot to move freely within its designated territory without hitting anything else. It needs at least one foot (30 cm) on each side of the base and four feet (1.2 m) in front of the base.
If you want good Wi-Fi signal strength, be sure to leave enough room above the dock so that there isn’t any interference from nearby objects.
Step 2: Cut Out the Pieces
Now that you know how big your Roomba garage needs to be, cut out the pieces using a table saw.
Make sure that you leave yourself plenty of room to maneuver around when cutting the pieces. Also, make sure that you cut through both sides of the piece.
Once you’ve cut all the parts out, use a power sander to smooth out any rough edges.
Step 3: Attach the Legs
Once you’ve finished cutting out the pieces, attach them together using screws. Attach the bottom part first by drilling holes in the corners and attaching screws.
This will ensure that your Roomba garage stays sturdy.
Then, attach the top part of the frame by drilling holes in the middle of the legs and connecting them with screws.
Attach the back panel last by drilling holes in the center of the back panel and using screws to connect them.
Step 4: Drill Holes
After attaching the legs, you’ll need to drill holes in the bottom of the Roomba garage. These holes will allow air to flow freely underneath the Roomba garage, which will prevent mold and mildew from forming.
Step 5: Sand Down the Surface
Use a sanding block to smooth down the surface of the Roomba’s garage. This step will help eliminate any sharp edges that could cause injury to your Roomba and yourself.
Step 6: Paint the Roomba Garage
Pick your colors and paint the Roomba garage using spray paint. You can also add decorative touches to the Roomba garage such as stencils or decals.
Step 7: Install the Roomba Dock
Once your Roomba garage looks just right, install the docking station. The garage should be placed by a wall outlet.
The docking station should sit flush against the wall. If it doesn’t fit properly, adjust it until it does.
