Dear Coraline, Ladies and Gentlemen; In creating a dungeon space, my personal rules are: Keep it simple, keep it safe and keep it clean. Limits to actual play space as far as being free to use all the whip strokes and single tail strokes you wish to do and, keep in mind guests who are higher and longer length of strokes. It is amazing how many things can be stored against the ceiling and pull down much like stair ladder to an attic--can be a rack or an "H" frame enclosed on the top and bottom making cube on top of cube support which fonts aren't able to provide. Retracted, it can lay against the ceiling, down it can be affixed to a flat board that can be the base and restrict movement. It could be possible to make it a ladder, with a X frame on one side and an H frame on the other side. It can also be considered, to have a closet for your toy/tool collection, open it up like an and it can be like a rack holding your toys/tools rather flat against the wall and closed, you can lock it up as to keep sticky fingers from making off with your collection. In the corner, a Triangle or corner cage works very well. Much like a China corner display case, it provides cage in an off and out of the way space. In hanging over head bondage; I favor ox wagon single trees (it is a stout wood length with two metal ends with "O" rings and in the middle it has a loop of metal that is stout. It can be removed if necessary or, you can have two hung in a well placed measurement as to hang a chain suspended rack/swing. There you can wax, bondage tie down table someone, swing them in bondage as well. Remove the stiff board rack that can either be plywood board with support or a plain door from a hardware store and or from someone's renovations. Then, with the two single trees and or 4 chain section, put a rubber or leather sling and you can have a different furniture piece entirely, such as a fisting and or other activities. Adding cuffs via double end snaps, you have bondage points there. On a budget, you can get a horse stall guard that is meant to restrain 1500 lbs horses. One can also use an overhead chain canopy as to have a multiple point bondage station. This can work in harmony with the rack or sling. For example thread rope in a chain loop and tie weight on one end while clamping to a genital area with the other end. Tension will move and stay no matter what the victim's body does, e.g. twist, turn and move. One can always use the wall as stations but, I would have the tallest buddy to swing whips and or single tails in, as to give an idea of ideal whip zone areas. Some spaces can do well with a bunk bed converted into a bondage island; which self supports inside the swing, the suspended rack, slide panels on the exposed sides by using channel iron (much like sliding bedroom closet doors but much more stout;) to slide frames in, such as X, H, A and or I frames and peg them into a fixed place. One can have two frames side by side if wished. The short end/head/foot side; a single panel can provide a whip station as well. Using chain bolted on the sides and top and bottom can provide bondage anchors and or provide places to thread rope as to create bondage patterns. It can be where a panel can be in support as to make a spider web. I set up fire play/waxing play in a place where it doesn't block anybody's escape. If there is carpet, I highly recommend getting tounge and grove floor panels, to create a impromptu floor and when done, can pick back up and store in a box. Putting plastic down under it, should catch the wax bits and then shake it out outside for easy cleaning. My personal preferences in setting up any dungeon, is to keep all sharp sides of furniture, shelves and things waist down. Thrashing about, knocking into objects by people of different heights is something to make 'safe.' I also have an electrician to put plenty of electrical outlets in as to permit ease of access and cut down on overloading outlets with too many plugs. Further, I have first aid supplies obvious and well stocked. Also having means to clean your equipment is very important. Having spare lightbulbs tucked somewhere should something burn out saves time and having it somewhere tucked in the rafter area of the ceiling--it is out of the way. I also recommend having glow sticks around important places, like a fire extinguisher, the escape door to the outside and emergency kit with flashlights ready to use. Having shake and use flashlights will avoid the need to replace batteries and or need to recheck them. Having cut outs of what you have, in a space you have in paper form, you can get an idea of what is the best layout for you and your personal dungeon space. Just a few thoughts.
