The Flat Pack kit

Designed to be assembled on-site by a local contractor or DIY

 The flat pack kit is ideal for cases in which the installation of a fully prebuilt pod is not convenient or possible.

It can also be a great DIY project.

What you need to know

How does the kit arrive?

We ship the kits to anywhere in the world. You’ll receive 4 shrink wrapped packages, they take a total surface of ~22’x8’x7’. Extras like the rooftop deck will add additional packages.

You’ll have to open the packages and manually unload the parts from the trailer (approximately 1 hour with the help of 2 people). If you hire one our partner contractors for the on-site assembly they will also handle the unloading.

The biggest framing part is 4’x10’ on The Sixteen and 4’x8’ on The Twelve. Everything should fit through a regular size door if necessary.

What’s included?

The kits include all the materials and parts the pod requires, with exception of the tools you’d need to assemble it. Non-exhaustive list:

• Wall, roofing and rafter framing sections with exterior sheathing

• Interior paneling and/or wall coverings, vinyl flooring, acoustic ceiling foam

• Siding, insulation, vapor barrier (house wrap)

• Metal roof panels and trims

• Doors and windows with screens and key locks

• Electrical components: wiring, switches, outlets, lighting, breaker box, 30A/50A inlet

• Paint, caulking, nails, adhesives, sealants

• Heater (AC is optional)

How long does it take?

It takes on average 6-7 full working days for a team of 2. If you choose to add any extras to the pod (rooftop, solar power, etc), please consider the additional time that would require.

Rooftop adds 2 days, solar pack adds 1 day, bathroom adds 1 day.

What else does the pod require?

• Ground prep: a flat and leveled (<1,5º) surface with at least the area of the pod. Our assembly team may be able to provide this service for an extra cost.

• Electrical: hook up into the pod’s 50A twist lock inlet (cord not provided). We suggest having an electrician do it.

• Accessibility: a clear path of at least 3’ by 8’ from the street to the assembly area.
