I'm entertaining the idea of building an indoor paint balling arena. Basically, rent a warehouse and then build a self contained structure within it.
I would like to make the structure out of pallet racking. Imagine Wickes with it's huge 3000kg rated shelving, but there are floors spanning across the isles, and walls installed.
From a planning perspective, I can't see this being an issue as it's inside. The only issue would be with building regs.
The shelving I'm looking at is rated to 2000kg per shelf, and with appropriately sized floor joists and boarding, I can't see structural strength being an issue. And innovative building methods generally seem to be fine providing they are strong enough.
There will be no plumbing or heating and all wiring will be ELV.
Are there any pitfalls I may come across with this plan?
Cheers,
Fubar
