Our happy customer wanted a backyard studio for use as a home office or guest room with ensuite facilities. The backyard project at Pennant Hills in Sydney has reached the lockup stage of construction, meaning the building is structurally complete and awaiting completion of the interior fit-out.
3m x 6m is the most popular pod size for backyard studios suitable for use as a home office with occasional guest accommodation when no plumbing is required. Our happy customers at Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains have taken stage-by-stage photographs of their Backyard Pod under construction. The Backyard Pods flatpack building kit selected was 3m x 6m in Colorbond Ironstone, a deep grey colour that settles well into the surrounding bushland. Our customers sourced their own windows and doors locally, in preference to using Polar Eco-View flatpack double-glazing that we normally recommend. The foundation piers were supplied along with the building kit.
