    The "Viking" Pod

    Introducing the "Viking" Pod — a remarkable barrel-shaped retreat that blends Viking-inspired charm with modern versatility. With its distinct curved design and straight-sided front and back, this pod resembles a grand Viking vessel anchored in the landscape, ready to welcome weary travellers.

    Measuring 4.9m in length, 3m in width, and 2.5m in height, the Viking pod is as spacious as it is captivating, offering 9.5 square metres of adaptable interior space.

    This pod is a true canvas for creativity, with room for up to three areas that can serve as sleeping quarters, a cosy dining space, or a relaxing lounge. The Viking glamping barrel is a nod to the spirit of adventure, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a uniquely enchanting glamping experience.

     

    4 Person Glamping Pod

    This configuration of the "Viking's Slumber" Pod offers a versatile and spacious layout, making it an excellent choice for small to medium-sized families or as a practical sleeping solution with single beds. 

     

    A Functional Three-Room Layout

    Central Living Space

    Upon entering the pod, you step into a central living area designed to maximise functionality. This space accommodates a dining table with seating for 2-3 people, perfect for shared meals or relaxed moments indoors.

     

    Optional Room for Bathroom or Kitchenette

    To the right of the living area, there’s a separate room that can be tailored to suit your needs. Choose to include a bathroom for added convenience or opt for a mini kitchenette, ideal for preparing light meals and snacks. 

    Alternatively, as shown in the video below, you can choose to forego the bathroom or mini kitchenette in this section and add another single bed instead. This modification transforms the pod into a 5-person cabin, featuring a total of five single beds for ultimate sleeping capacity.

     

    Bedroom Configurations

    Moving through the central living space, you’ll find the bedroom, which offers multiple bedding options to suit your guests. Configurations include:

    1. A 3-person setup with one single bed and a set of bunk beds.
    2. A 4-person arrangement featuring two sets of bunk beds, maximising sleeping capacity.

     

    Perfect for Practical Getaways

    This layout is especially suited for resorts with communal facilities, offering guests a comfortable place to relax and recharge without excessive luxury.

    The pod is spacious, economical, and adaptable. For those seeking self-sufficiency, the optional bathroom or kitchenette adds a practical touch, making it perfect for preparing breakfast or managing day-to-day needs.

    Modular Delivery for On-Site Assembly

    Due to its expanded width, this pod cannot be delivered fully pre-assembled. Instead, it is delivered in modular components, designed for on-site assembly by the client. 

    However, special delivery for this pod as a fully assembled unit can be arranged. Please note, this would classify as oversized cargo and incur a significant additional shipping fee due to the logistical requirements.

    Pod FAQs

    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.
