About Mobile Pod

We have been designing, building and using mobile pods on our fishery and campsite for over 7 years. They are built in such a way to avoid the need for special planning requirements, making onsite installation quick and easy.

Our mobile pods are ideal for couples, complete with fridge, TV, heater and double bed. They are spacious enough for you to add a toaster, kettle, microwave, toastie maker and fold up table and chairs. The anglers who currently use our pods have the convenience of a lakeside shelter with heater, fridge and TV, and they bring their own beds, chairs and cooking equipment.

Fully Mobile and Easy to Transport

The pods are built to be fully mobile for easy transportation and are ready for use instantly on arrival at your site.

The axles are made specifically for our mobile pods and the wheels are small, heavy load capable, ball bearing centres for easy movement with solid rubber tyres that won’t go flat or perish. These are very quickly removed if you’d like the pod to be lower to the ground in its place of situ and avoid the need for steps up to the front access. We do, however, recommend our pods are best placed evenly on some blocks or sleepers.

The pods can be towed from the front and the back by just inserting the supplied tow hitch into the sleeve on the pod at either end. This makes them ideal for placing by rivers and lakes as they can be reversed into place close to the waters edge.

They’re ideal for this type of environment and should flooding be an issue the pods can be moved very easily and quickly to higher, safer, drier ground.

Quality Design and Construction

The mobile pods are timber frame and ply lined then fully wrapped with a waterproof breathable membrane making them totally water tight prior to cladding.

They then have a 1 inch cavity all around allowing air flow around the building, improving its U values greatly and preventing condensation. The cladding also has its own cavity built in adding even more thermal efficiency to the pod.

All walls, ceilings and floor are rock wool insulated making them extremely efficient to heat for use in the winter yet cool in the summer with the added benefit of reducing noise!

The mobile pod is designed and built to be as maintenance free as possible! Plastic cladding avoids the need for yearly oiling, staining and maintenance of timber. The roof covering is a tile effect steel sheet which is completely water tight and wind proof so there is no fear of felt ripping or slates blowing off causing damage. Blinds are fitted to both the door and window making them neat, tidy and easy to clean.

They are equipped with two inside lights and one outside light, all flush ceiling fitted for minimal cleaning and maintenance. Each light is 4W LED providing ample light both inside and out with minimal running cost. All fittings are provided in a brushed stainless steel finish. The floor covering is an industrial grade, high impact, high traffic, wood effect vinyl. Ceiling and walls are pine T&G, clear coated to give the natural pine wood finish with an easy wipeable surface.

A handy covered decked area at the front of each pod is a great place to enjoy a morning coffee, out in the fresh air but sheltered from those summer showers! The covered deck also helps prevent vaping or smoking inside the mobile pod itself.

The fitted heater is only 400W and takes minutes to heat the pod with minimal effort to maintain the set temperature. Both window and door are fitted with trickle vents to allow a supply of fresh air into the building at all times with minimal impact on the heating of the room.

Our Mobile Glamping Pods

The glamping style pods have a fitted work surface area where the fridge fits in neatly along with a microwave above, shelves for plates, glasses, cups and cutlery keeping it all neatly out the way.

The work surface provides a great area for tea, coffee and sugar canisters along with the kettle and toaster but also leaves room for food and drink preparation. Our glamping pod is also fitted with four double sockets, two at the front and two at the back which have USB and USB C sockets suitable for charging most phones and tablets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unfortunately not, we do not make any with toilets or showers. Once you connect our pod to mains sewage and water they become “static” meaning they are no longer fully “mobile” without being “disconnected” first. Our pods are best suited to sites that already have facilities so there is no need to dig up the grounds to add sewage and water connections. Pods with bathroom facilities would also make the pods more prone to leaks as they’re moved around.

At present we do not. We have had our own for many years on our site and regularly move them around, so our own experience has shown this is the optimum mobile pod size. Our pods are also built to the maximum height, width and length to fit on a trailer for quick, easy transportation, and can fit into tight, awkward spots where other larger pods can’t.

At the moment, we are sticking with what we know to ensure you get a quality, tried and tested product! However, because we build our pods from scratch, we are able to take into consideration each client’s particular needs. For example, one client requested a pod which was bare inside with a long counter top, and this pod is now being used as a home nail and beauty bar. If you do have a specific request, we will be very happy to discuss and see if we can help. And, in the future, we may offer different designs based on customer feedback we receive, so watch this space.

This has been asked a lot and is something we are working very hard at sorting. Our future plans include conducting a trial using a prototype, but it will be at least 12 months before we can conclude testing and confidently offer a truly off grid pod. Currently, we are exploring the use of solar energy to increase efficiency. We are always looking at new ways to improve our product which is why your feedback is so important!

Yes! We have a new cladding option which costs a little more but offers more choice and variety. A range of colours will be added to our site as soon as they become available.

Our clients use our pods to expand the income stream of their current businesses such as fisheries, caravan parks, wedding venues, pubs and more! Some pods have been supplied to private homes and used as spare rooms for visiting family and friends, and some are occasionally let for extra income. Our pods are also used in private homes as offices, play rooms, beauty rooms and hair salons.

Yes, we can arrange delivery at extra cost based on location. We use an independent haulier which is why we can offer our pods at very competitive prices as we do not have to cover the costs of a towing vehicle and trailer purchase along with vehicle insurance and running costs. Our pods are fully insured in transit until offloaded at your location. 

Yes, you can collect your pod, although we recommend against this. The pods require a certain size and type of trailer, and you’ll need to be aware of any low bridges on your route, and have adequate insurance cover in place in case of an accident.
