Custom-sized backyard pod 2.6m x 4.3m for hobbies at Erskineville, inner-Sydney NSW

Inner-city properties have tight backyards, often with difficult access. This is where flat-pack Backyard Pod kits are the ideal solution. When an inner-city house (like this one at Erskineville, inner Sydney) was too small for fun, the owner got a compact Backyard Pod for their hobbies. Our range of double-glazed modular windows is really great for Backyard Pods without optional eaves or added veranda kit. If you look at the window combination inside this Backyard Pod, You’ll see a narrow vertical window made of two window components. The top section is awning-style, so it helps to keep the rain out if you happen to leave your Backyard Pod open and unattended when a shower comes down. The bottom section can be fixed or opening one way or another. There are many possible configurations for our double-glazed windows. In small pods like this one, vertical stacks of windows give great light and ventilation without taking up much wall space, which means you get more wall area for furniture placement.

The smallest flat-pack Backyard Pod kit is 2.4m x 4m or 3m x 3m but kits can be cut down smaller in fabrication for a surcharge if needed. This Backyard Pod kit was custom-sized at 2.6m x 4.3m, which cost a little bit extra. The owner thought it was totally worthwhile to get their Backyard Pod kit cut to the exact size they needed because their backyard was so tiny that every single centimetre of available space for building needed to be maximised.

If your place could use a little more ‘room’, you can get more room more affordably using a Backyard Pod. Backyard Pods come standard with Colorbond cladding (22 colours) or you can choose to have vinyl cladding or timber weatherboards on the outside if you like. Any ‘room’ in Australia will need approval, certification, or a building permit (depending on your location) but we can help you through the whole process.
