Slots with an end time
Set how long a slot can run, so a project does not occupy the bench for three weeks.

Book the shared workshop
and the hobby room
The workshop is the resource most likely to sit unused while several people want it — because nobody knows when it is free, and whoever has a project on the go tends to spread out. A calendar fixes both halves: everyone sees what is booked, and slots have an end.

Workshop, craft room and games room
Call it the workshop, the hobby room, a craft room or the shed: it behaves the same. Add the room as a resource, set opening hours and how long a slot can run, and everyone knows where they stand. A games or activity room next door becomes its own resource with its own rules.
Bookings having an end time is the whole point. Whoever needs to glue, paint or saw books the time they need, and the next person sees exactly when the room frees up instead of knocking and hoping.
Block time when the room is cleaned, machines are serviced, or the association needs it, and nobody can book it by mistake.
Getting started
Three steps, a couple of minutes
Add the room
Set a name, opening hours and slot length. The description is the right place for the house rules: clean up, do not leave machines running.
Invite the residents
They see what is free and book for themselves, without asking anyone.
The rules keep order
Slot length, blocked time and, from the Standard plan, per-member limits apply automatically when the booking is made.
What you get
Built to be shared fairly
Rules in the description
Every resource has its own description — put the house rules there and everyone reads the same thing when they book.
Several rooms, own rules
Workshop, hobby room and activity room can be separate resources with different hours and slot lengths.
Block time for upkeep
Block time for cleaning, servicing machines, or when the association needs the room itself.

FAQ: booking the shared workshop or hobby room
Quick answers
Can we set how long the workshop is booked for?
Yes. Set slot length and opening hours per resource and, from the Standard plan, a limit on how many bookings each member can make. The rules apply automatically.
Can the workshop and the hobby room have different rules?
Yes. Each room is its own resource with its own opening hours, slot lengths and blocked time.
Where do we put the house rules?
In the resource description. It shows when members book, which is read far more than a note on the door.
Can we lock the room for maintenance?
You can block the time so nobody can book it. Blocking stops bookings; it does not lock the door.
