Backyard Pods are engineering certified Class 1 (dwelling) with standard N3 wind rating – now also available with N4 wind rating, compliant for building in high-wind areas (at a small additional cost based on pod size).
Flooring system included - no slab
With a Backyard Pod, there’s no need for the hassle and expense of pouring a concrete slab, or trying to turn a slab-based shed or garage into a habitable cabin, converting shipping containers, etc.
Backyard Pod kits come complete with an engineered flooring system and yellow-tongue floor, ready for floating floorboards, vinyl, or carpet – any floor covering you choose.
The Backyard Pod floor structure ‘floats’ above-ground on optional foundation piers, allowing easy and economical installation even on sloping land.

You can even have pods joined together to make a larger space – maybe a whole house for an unbelievably low price compared to conventional construction.

We can deliver pod kits to almost any location in Australia. Shipping costs vary depending on your location and the size of the pod, as to the size/weight of materials to be delivered.
Access is no problem with pod kits as they are delivered flat-packed and materials can be walked around to the rear of the property for easy assembly.
Although we do not install pods directly, we can often help by introducing an installer or licensed builder in these areas:

FEATURED PROJECTS
Gorgeous Blue Mountains backyard studio 3m x 6m
This charming poolside backyard studio building, completed in the Blue Mountains, started with a Basic Backyard Pod Kit 3m x 6m in Colorbond® ‘Monument’ and standard foundation piers. The roof is standard skillion profile in standard Zincalume®. How did they get the look?
Part of an existing low-height stone retaining wall was demolished for the pod to be constructed. The stones were recycled as a decorative surround for the piers, making it appear as if the pod is actually built on stone foundations. The timber-framed French doors add to the vintage look that perfectly suits the main residence and the Blue Mountains village atmosphere.
Stunning inner-Sydney poolside cabana room
One of the superstars in our Sydney backyard pod installer network, Lex Mahony, recently made dreams come true for his inner-city client with completion of this stunning, low-budget poolside cabana room in Colorbond® ‘Night Sky’ with black-framed windows, stacker doors, and contemporary outdoor lighting details in black.
In some areas of Australia, like NSW, for example, it can be possible to build a straightforward cabana in the backyard without needing permission.
Watch rapid on-site assembly
Delivered as a flat-pack kit, Backyard Pods are fully engineered for structural integrity and easily assembled on-site from the instructions and fixings supplied. You can buy a flat-pack Backyard Pod kit and put it together yourself (with a little help from your friends). Alternatively, you could have a local builder or shed erector install it for you – and here we might be able to help. We know experienced Backyard Pod installers in Sydney, Blue Mountains, Central West NSW, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, and other areas. We also know professionals who can help with development applications and building permits if needed for your project. Just ask for more information.
