Pod Essential FAQ's

What is the lead time on the pods?

For single pod projects, from order confirmation to arrival on site, typically ranges from 4 to 6 weeks.

For multi-pod projects, which often require more customisation and coordination, the timeline extends to approximately 6 to 10 weeks.

What foundation is required for the pods?

Recommended Base Types

We recommend setting your pod on concrete, tarmac. A level and secure base prevent issues like water ingress, pest intrusion, and aesthetic wear over time.

Why is a Solid Base Important?

A solid foundation is essential to ensure the longevity and stability of your pod. Setting the pod on an uneven or unstable base can cause structural issues, including door and window misalignments, gaps, and a decrease in insulation and water resistance.

Is electricity required?

Electrical needs vary depending on the pod’s intended use. For simple setups, a 20 Amp supply may suffice, while pods with more equipment may require up to 32 Amps. Consult with our team for specific guidance tailored to your pod’s setup.

Is plumbing required?

Plumbing isn’t necessary for all pods but can be added based on your preferences. If plumbing is needed, we collaborate to pre-plan access points for sinks, showers, or toilets. Our process ensures a smooth installation by preparing all cut-outs and access areas before delivery.
