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.

Talk to us about what you’d like to create with your pod.

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:

Backyard Pod kits include flooring system - no concrete slab needed

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.

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.

Interesting current projects using Backyard Pods

FEATURED RECENT PROJECT

Gorgeous Blue Mountains garden studio 3m x 6m

This charming backyard poolside cabana building, just 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®.

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 and bi-fold doors add to the vintage look that perfectly suits the main residence and the Blue Mountains village atmosphere. How much did it cost?

How easily Backyard Pods are assembled at your place

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.

In Sydney, Melbourne, Newcastle, Central West, Central Coast, Gold Coast, and Brisbane we can introduce you to a local installer or licensed builder who is familiar with our structural system. Complete your pod kit with your choice of doors, windows, plasterboard or plywood lining, carpet or floating floorboards; home-offices, studies, or hobby rooms with powder room and kitchenette, or self-contained granny flats with kitchens and bathrooms.
