Complete instructions to build your own Garden Pod
Welcome to Garden Pod DIY
My name is Cecil McFarland and I live in a rural area of Ireland. Perhaps like yourself, I have never been afraid to tackle most DIY jobs. As you will know, most jobs require no more than a little commonsense and a clear idea of what you want to achieve.
During the past year or so, I have been considering a garden pod. I have looked at many designs and options available on the market. Research has shown me that prices range from around £4K for a very basic structure to £5K plus for a pod with a little better finish. Whilst most represent good value, I started to think about building my own.

Research has shown me that prices range from around £4K for a very basic structure to £5K plus for a pod with a little better finish. Whilst most represent good value, I started to think about building my own.
I started off considering purchasing a ready to go framework but, the price tag of around £1K to me was a big chunk of money just to get started. For most DIY enthusiasts the frame structure is the greatest challenge. The method I have used is simple and well within the capability of anyone with average skills. The manual will show that the method I used is easy to follow and effective. It has 24 pages of easy to follow steps and lots of actual photos of each building stage.
Everything is covered…
• Setting up bench for making frame (No cost here as two of the 8x4ft (2400 x 1200mm) sheets purchased for the floor and a few wooden pallets are all that is required)
• Cutting 3” (75mm) wide strips of ¼ inch (6mm) ply for making frame
• Setting up frame shape on bench
• Gluing each frame section
• Adding frame for window and door in two of the frame sections
• Setting up frame structure on site
• Felting
• Timber cladding outside
• T&G cladding inside
